Quote from oraclewizard77:
So how do you tell if the market is range bound or trending?
You cant actually know until after its done it, since even though it may have ranged for the last 5mins, it could breakout into a trend as soon as you get in.
But the stratergy works in with range and trending markets,
since if the market is ranging, your sells on the right shoulder spike would be at or every near the top of the range,
and your buys would be near the bottom.
However if the market breaks out of the top of the range just after you have sold, you will only lose a little bit of money as your stop wil be 16ticks at max normally,
and then you just wait untill the trend overdoes itself,
forms the formation, and then sell from that and make the money you lost back + alot more as it falls...


Good luck.
