Replay: 5 range days
Walk through fades and trapped breakouts.
12 min · Intermediate
What you'll learn
- Apply balance, failed-expansion and fade rules to full-session scenarios
- Decide between fading, following a breakout, and standing aside
- Enforce the two-trade cap and 2R minimum in live-style decisions
Key takeaways
- On a range day, one or two edge trades are usually the whole opportunity.
- A strong candle in the middle of a range is still a bad location.
- Narrow ranges often cannot pay 2R; a correct read with bad math is a pass.
- A heavy-volume close outside the range that holds is acceptance, so stop fading.
- Two fades maximum on a range day, and stop entirely at the daily loss limit.
Glossary
- Trapped breakout — A breakout that fails and returns inside the range, leaving breakout traders in losing positions.
- Trade cap — A pre-set maximum number of trades for a session or setup type, used to prevent overtrading.
