Strategy Playbook

New comment

I was wondering if anyone out there could make suggestions for a strategy playbook that I could trade with. 

Currently, I trade using supply and demand techniques. I find a probable zone, I like there to be a gap in the impulsive move and a break of structure, I only trade with the trend and so if there is a change of character I do not take the setup. This has been good for finding 1:1 trades, but I seldom find anything higher than that. 

I also use a break and retest technique where I draw higher timeframe support and resistance zones, then I draw lower timeframe minor support and resistance zones, then wait for a break and retest of these and trade until the next zone. I have had less success with this strategy, most of the time my stoploss is very large because I have been stopped out many times when there was a retest that kept coming back into the range. 

I would like to continue to work on these strategies until I perfect them, is there another strategy someone can suggest I add to my playbook that has a high success rate and achieves high risk to reward. I would like to be trading with 3-4 setups in my playbook. 

Thank you!

It's commendable that you approach your trading systematically and actively seek to expand and enhance your playbook. Here are a couple of additional strategies to consider incorporating into your trading arsenal:

### 1. **Trendline Breaks and Retests:**
   - Identify a clear trend by connecting swing lows in an uptrend or swing highs in a downtrend.
   - Look for a break of the trendline, indicating a potential reversal or continuation.
   - Wait for a retest of the trendline to enter the trade, ensuring the break is valid.

### 2. **Fibonacci Retracement and Extension Levels:**
   - Utilize Fibonacci retracement levels to identify potential reversal zones within a trend.
   - Combine Fibonacci extension levels with existing impulsive moves to project potential future price targets.
   - Seek confluence with other technical analysis tools for confirmation.

### 3. **Candlestick Patterns:**
   - Incorporate candlestick patterns, such as engulfing patterns, doji, or hammer patterns, to identify potential reversals or continuations.
   - Combine candlestick patterns with other technical analysis factors for confirmation.

### 4. **Divergence Trading:**
   - Use divergence between price and technical indicators (e.g., RSI, MACD) to identify potential trend reversals.
   - Look for divergence on multiple timeframes for stronger signals.

### 5. **Range Trading:**
   - Identify clear support and resistance levels within a ranging market.
   - Buy near support and sell near resistance, targeting the opposite boundary of the range.

### 6. **Moving Average Crossovers:**
   - Employ moving average crossovers (e.g., 50-day and 200-day) to identify changes in trend direction.
   - Look for crossovers as potential entry or exit signals.

### 7. **News Trading:**
   - Stay informed about economic events and news that can impact the market.
   - Trade based on the market's reaction to significant news releases.

### Tips for Refining Your Strategies:
   - Backtest your strategies extensively using historical data to evaluate their performance.
   - Maintain a trading journal to record and analyze each trade, identifying strengths and weaknesses.
   - Continuously adapt and refine your strategies based on market conditions and personal experiences.

Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all strategy, and success in trading often comes from a combination of techniques tailored to your risk tolerance, time commitment, and psychological profile. Additionally, risk management is crucial, so make sure to set and adhere to proper stop-loss levels.

Thank you so much for your reply, I am very interested in range trading and moving average crossovers, but I cannot figure out a systematic way to make it work. Do you have any tips?
