Macro Context
Understanding the broader context is critical for any trade:
- Risk appetite: Are equities, crypto, and high-yield bonds moving together? That tells you about overall sentiment.
- Volatility: VIX levels above 20 suggest hedging demand is elevated. Adjust position sizing accordingly.
- Correlation shifts: When assets that normally move together start diverging, something structural is changing.
- Calendar awareness: Check the economic calendar for catalysts that could override technical setups.
Actionable Takeaways
- Range boundaries: Define the upper and lower bounds of the current range. Trade within it, or wait for the break.
- Volume: Watch for volume spikes — they'll signal which way the range resolves.
- Signal confidence: Use Markitel's confidence score to filter. In choppy markets, only take 75%+ setups.
- Upcoming catalysts: Check the calendar — the next macro event could be the range-breaker.
Remember: the goal isn't to be right every time. It's to protect your capital when you're wrong.
