October 27, 2020February 12, 2026 by David Coulling Comment Closed

What is a reversal trading strategy? https://youtu.be/1z-mvwaSD0Q What Is a Reversal Trading Strategy? A reversal trading strategy is a trading approach that aims to identify and profit from points where a prevailing trend is about to change direction. Instead of following the trend (trend trading), reversal traders look for signs that the current upward (bullish) or downward (bearish) move is exhausting, and a new trend in the opposite direction is beginning. Key Characteristics Focus on Turning Points: Traders enter positions at potential tops (sell/short) or bottoms (buy/long). High Risk, High Reward: Reversals can lead to significant profits if timed correctly, but false signals (whipsaws) are common—many "reversals" turn out to be temporary pullbacks. Timeframes: Works on any (intraday for day traders, daily/weekly for swing/investors). How to Identify Reversals Common signals (often used in combination for confluence): Price Patterns: Head and shoulders, double tops/bottoms, doji candles, pin bars. Momentum Divergence: RSI or MACD showing weaker highs/lows while price makes new extremes. Support/Resistance: Price rejecting key levels (previous...

Throughout the trading session starting at 8 AM UK time, the indices have been trading around the volume point of control, indicating a steady but unexciting market. This stability reflects market participants' cautiousness as they await upcoming events, resulting in a grinding trading environment for both Globex and cash markets. 01:17 Analyzing the daily profiles over the past three days, the speaker highlights a failed attempt to rally characterized by falling volume, which typically signals weak upward momentum.

September 23, 2020February 13, 2026 by Anna Coulling Comment Closed

The power of volume price analysis for scalping index traders Even when markets are trading in congestion, it's possible to make money trading them. All it means it you have to be quick and take a smash and grab approach to trading and in particular what this means is moving either to the very fast timeframes as we show here using the YM Emini future in the live US session, or alternatively moving to a non-time-based chart such as a Renko or tick chart. All these approaches are equally valid and in this session, we focus on showing you how to use the 15-second chart to trade as the future moves in a narrow range. Volume price analysis works in all timeframes and this is a perfect example of its power for scalping traders. https://youtu.be/TQ9j65GxF4o 00:13 Market overview and gold trading ranges 00:13 The speaker discusses current market conditions using gold as an example, highlighting that trading activity is occurring within a narrow range.
