This course provides a 3-step technical analysis framework for trading pullbacks. It applies to stock trading, Forex, or futures trading. You can use it for day trading or swing trading.
A variety of lessons and skills contribute to making the transition to profitability. But I can point to three specific milestones that proved to be turning points for me.
Trading is risky. This course is for educational purposes only. It does not give recommendations.
This section covers the pullback trade setup.
In this module you’ll use a channel indicator that incorporates both trend strength and momentum. These two conditions often precede the best pullback trades
The Keltner channel can help reveal pullback trading setups.
Explore the Keltner Channel and its settings. Look at it in the markets and time frames you trade.
I don’t trade all pullbacks, but instead define what you might call a “field of play” on my price chart. I only take trades in or around this area. I don’t chase price action outside this zone.
The Average True Range is key to the Keltner Channel. We’ll also use it later in the Course when we set our stop-losses
This Section covers the pullback entry, using technical analysis and price-action.
It’s not enough that the pullback enters our target zone, it’s also important how it enters. We need to look at the character of the pullback.
Some traders enter a trade while the pullback is still fully in progress. You can make a case for that, but I like to see at least a little thrust back in the direction of the primary trend.
Before entering the trade, I make two final checks. One of which I would say is optional, but the other mandatory
This Section of the Course addresses the Stop-Loss and the Profit-Target
Before we get into the details of Stop-Losses, we'll touch on several key thoughts about trading losses.
I have two guidelines for setting Stop-Losses.
Review the concepts of setting a Stop-Loss with price chart examples.
Complex pullbacks are challenging to trade, but can also generate some of the best results.
How I set my Profit-Target for pullback trades.
My strategy for the typical losing or lackluster trade is to apply a time-based Stop.
When moving or trailing Stops, there is an inherent trade-off. That trade-off is between protecting existing profits; versus leaving enough room for the price ebb-and-flow that can lead to even higher profits
There are four possible outcomes of a trade; generally speaking. For each category, I’ll show how my Stop-Losses work.
Here are a few final thoughts.
Welcome to this course. Here you’ll learn a practical 3-step framework for trading trend pullbacks.
Trade Trend Pullbacks with More Structure & Confidence
By the end of this course you’ll be able to quickly recognize pullback setups, locate trade entries, and determine Stop-Loss and Profit-Target levels. You’ll have a complete technical analysis method for trading trend pullbacks.
I’ll walk you step-by-step through the process. Diagrams and chart pattern examples are used throughout the course to illustrate the key concepts. So, you should be able to follow along easily.
This course is designed for the existing trader who wants to dig deeper into pullback trading. It may be a relatively new trade to you, or you may have considerable experience. But you’re ready to drill down and understand it better.
You should have some trading experience. And you need a trading platform with access to technical analysis indicators.
The concepts in this course apply to stock trading, Forex, and futures trading. You can use them with day trading, or swing trading. The technical analysis and price action principles are universal.
Of course, I can’t guarantee you’ll profit. You need to study the material and see what works for you. You may not implement the information exactly, but I think you’ll get something from the course you can use in your trading.
Feel free to a look through the course description, and I look forward to seeing you inside.
