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.
Trader's Playbook
Range markets require a different toolkit. Here's the approach:
1. Define the range: Identify clear upper and lower boundaries on the 4H or daily chart. 2. Fade the extremes: Buy near support, sell near resistance. Keep size small. 3. Breakout plan: Set alerts at range boundaries. When it breaks, get aggressive. 4. Avoid the middle: The worst entries are in the middle of a range. Be patient. 5. Volume filter: The real breakout will come with a volume surge. Anything else is a fakeout.
Your Game Plan
- Range boundaries: Define the upper and lower bounds of the current range. Trade within it, or wait for the break.

- Signal confidence: Use Markitel's confidence score to filter. In choppy markets, only take 75%+ setups.
