How? Pay alot of commissions. :) I think alot of people are frustrated by the volatility crunch. Good Luck

Night crew busy again... Nice volatility for a change.

Here are some lines like I draw. These are what I term reversal lines. They are essentially short term lines anywhere from 1/4 of a session to 2-3 days (if you get follow-through the next trading day). They usually change DAILY for the most part. That is there is often a trend change day...

Well, Range, what range? Vix @ a 7 yr low. Look @ weekly ATR and you'll see ES which has historically been a very volatile market is @ 25 pts/5 days.

I was simply getting others to think about a BO. All BO's are not alike. Yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, 2 hr, 30 min, 15 min 5 min, 1 min "breakouts" all differ. If the ATR for a 2 week period is 50 and a move is ready to "BO" but the 2 week range is already 60 points you might want...

So if a move is "80% complete" statistically in the fractal you're monitoring and a BO occurs do you a) Take the trade and hope for the best b) Scalp c) Fade d) Pass I think you need point of reference and a plan. This helps me at least, FWIW.

You can look at: up, up, ? down, up, ? up, down, ? down, down, ? close on LOD close on HOD Type of "down" Type of "up" etc. But entry and exit, mostly exit is still critical to profitability. And of course news and "events" trumps everything else. FWIW
