Trend Breaks and Entry Points

Overview

• Trend breaks: risky entry points.
• Forfeit opportunity by not entering at the right hold levels.

Key Concepts

Multi-Time Frame Analysis

• Hour close: Adapt to 15, 5, and 1-minute time frames.
  • Example: Hard close on the hourly, then adapt to lower time frames.

Greedy Range

• Entering in a "greedy range" may result in losing the move.
• Short entry may be illogical if trend breaks and doesn't hold.

Late Entry

• Confirmed breaks cycling through time frames lead to late entries.
• Entering on trend breaks alone may not be reliable.

Scenarios

Scenario Setup

• Chart is set up with several hold levels and trend breaks.
  • Example: If you missed the first hold level, look for next ladder-down points.

Ladder Points

• Identify potential ladder points to re-enter the market.
• Use wide range but mark key levels.

Polarized Levels

• Polarization: Indicates if trend holds or breaks.
• Use polarized levels to set exits and re-entries.

Strategy

Short Entries

• Exit if it breaks polarized level.
• Mark and enter shorts at critical levels.

Adaptation

• Continue adapting until ladder pattern breaks.
• Use higher time frames to mark important levels.

Advanced Techniques

Trigger Points

• Utilize trigger points for entries and exits.
• Ensure the target is hit before exiting based on trigger.

Profit Flexibility

• Allow trends room to breathe while aiming for significant profits.
• Use larger time frames and adapt trends appropriately.
