Why Chain is the important element in Price Action Trading?

Why Chain is the important element in Price Action Trading?

The Chain is a critical element of price of Price Action Trading. Chain integrates the imbalances and trendlines and gives the detailed picture of the demand and supply.

As described in a previous lesson a potential imbalance is valid once,
• An opposing imbalance is taken out
• A trendline is broken with one or more full OCHL candles

The idea behind drawing a trendline by connecting the last two valleys and peaks is to connect the latest two impulses (bullish or bearish). If we start seeing impulses in the opposite direction then the dynamics for that timeframe in particular will probably be changing and we should lean on a bigger timeframe before we start trading in the same direction where the last impulses happened. These concepts are the core of the realignment rules that will be explained in the next episode.

THE CHAIN:
There is a relationship between the trendline break connecting the last two impulses and when an imbalance is created. We will be referring to this relationship as the Chain from now on. This chain connects both core concepts and provide us with a very objective methodology to locate potential tradable imbalances on any price chart and timeframe.

When a potential imbalance is confirmed as a zone?

When a potential imbalance is confirmed as a zone?

There are TWO SCENARIOS:
1. A potential imbalance takes an opposing imbalances out (and/or)
2. A potential imbalance is created if price breaks a trendline with one or more full OCHL candles. This trendline must connect the latest 2 peaks/valleys or 3 or more consecutive CPs (Continuation Pattern)
Both scenarios can happen at the same time, which is why I am using the AND/OR Boolean statement in the rule above. As long as only one criteria is met the imbalance will be confirmed.

So, once you draw a zone based on rules, you need to confirm validity of the zone using the 2 rules mentioned.

What is contingency plan and why every trader should have one?

What is contingency plan and why every trader should have one?, How a trader should build their contingency plan?

• If you want to be a successful trader, you should have contingency plans in place. You should use a “what if” process every time there is an issue and update the contingency plan as and when you encounter new scenarios and build your contingency rule book. For example: all the financial firms decentralized operational teams and have multiple data centres and backups after 9/11 attack.
• Your goal as a trader is preparedness to handle any surprises markets throw at you. To do so, you need to develop a dependable way to handle virtually every situation that may occur. Having events and circumstances thought out in advance is the key to manage risk effectively and build your capital.

How to trade using Breakaway (or Breakout) Gap Trading Strategy?

Different parts of Breakaway (or Breakout) Gap Trading Strategy
The breakaway gap means breaking the important support or resistance or significant trend line in the form of the gap. This generally appears after if there is significant price build up or price consolidation near the support or resistance zone on the previous day.

There are three major parts which forms this pattern.
1. Consolidation – The market consolidates on the previous day, forming tight candles throughout the last hour of the previous day. This consolidation happens near a major support or resistance area.
2. Gap up & Rally – Price gaps up the next day above the consolidation zone or above the resistance area and continue to rally from there. This event had flipped our resistance zone into support zone, so we can call it flip zone.
3. Pullback – After a brief rally, price starts dropping towards the flip zone (previous resistance, which has turned into support now)
