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.

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.

That's the view from our desk. Trade safe out there.
