Fade the extreme
Entry, stop, and target structure.
8 min · Intermediate
What you'll learn
- Structure a fade at a range edge with a confirmation trigger
- Place stops beyond the edge and targets at the midpoint and opposite edge
- Use R-math to see why edge entries work and middle entries do not
Key takeaways
- A disciplined fade needs location, reaction and room.
- Stops go beyond the range edge and the test extreme, never inside the range.
- Edge entries can offer 2R or more, while middle entries usually cannot reach 1R.
- Set the final target a few cents before the opposite edge.
- Cap range fades at two per day, because repeated failures at an edge often precede a breakout.
Glossary
- Fade — A trade against the current move, such as buying at a range low or shorting at a range high, expecting a return toward the middle.
- Range extreme — The high or low edge of a balanced range, including brief pokes just beyond it.
