Lower timeframe (LTF) entry patterns can also trigger exit.

Perhaps that’s obvious? Perhaps not?

In any case, as I used an LTF trigger pattern for exit during the week the following thought crossed my mind – “I don’t recall discussing this via the newsletter”

So here we are…

There are MANY entry trigger patterns. For those with the YTC Price Action Trader, refer to Chapter 4, pages 87-90 for a diagram summary of all the patterns I watch out for.

By far the majority of discussion with lower timeframe patterns is always with respect to entry.

So let’s start with an entry example.

BUT…

The exact same trigger pattern can also be used to trigger EXIT from an earlier (opposite direction) trade.

Let’s assume now that we were SHORT much earlier, trading down into the lows.

I’d like to share a great question received this week which highlights a number of recent topics that have been discussed via the newsletter or blog – the irrelevance of individual trades, the imperfection of ALL exit strategies, plus patterns vs context and the way price movement influences other traders’ decision making.

Fading the Edges of the Market Structure

  Fading the edges of the market structure requires that you see the markets in a different way to the usual retail trader. Strength in price movement towards a range boundary or an S/R level is not necessarily going to continue with strength following a breakout. In the right context, this apparent strength can produce…
