I’m gonna test a strategy I haven’t given attention to in the past. The basic strategy is as follows:
- Find the midpoint of a consolidation period
- Watch the expanded chop chop and notice the direction of the first move. Do nothing else
- When the price moves back down to the midpoint of the previous consolidation, invest in the direction of the next move.
Visualized:
- Blue box – consolidation.
- First red arrow – first move
- Second red arrow – holders sell, then price moves back to midpoint of blue box. It usually consolidates for a a few bars then,
- Third red arrow – the real move happens and where I plan to enter long.
This is just a slight variation to pullback/support test. Nothing too fancy, but I’m more concerned with midpoints of consolidation.
Few charts on watch:
I may suck at this for a while, but here are a few I’m watching headed into next week.
AXDX – watching how it handles the midpoint – then follow the move.
RSG – a little messier, but the next move is the right one to own.
