What is a reversal trading strategy?

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...

A Great Trade In Gold! There are several major risk events now facing the financial markets as we approach the end of the year, and in this video, we highlight this unique confluence of events, which could lead to not one, but perhaps two black swan events in the coming months. We will see. In the meantime, we also focus on a terrific move on gold, which saw the precious metal end the session with a wide spread down candle and a strong trend lower, which truly delivered. Within the move, there were the usual pullbacks and reversals but volume price analysis helped to determine whether these were indeed primary reversals, which they were not, and therefore simply secondary trends reversing against the primary bearish trend lower. https://youtu.be/9ZvhNolh_BM 00:01 Webinar introduction and session overview 00:01 The speaker welcomes everyone to the afternoon webinar, apologizing for the brief delay caused by a barking dog. The session will cover indices, some commodities, and a brief look at the forex...

August 27, 2020February 13, 2026 by Anna Coulling Comment Closed

Learn how to ride the trend to maximise your profits Most traders struggle, not because they do not understand how the markets work, but because they struggle to stay in a trend once it is underway.
