Forex high low


Buy the Higher Low and Sell the Lower High.


Position Trading based on technical set ups, Risk Management & Trader Psychology.


Article Summary: Trading in the direction of the trend and buying low while selling high are mutually exclusive. Because we recommend you locate the direction of the trend and find a good entry, DailyFX has a new concept for you to consider. Buy the higher low and sell the lower high. This article will provide you with methods to do just that to prevent you from catching a falling knife.


If you’ve ever heard a trader say that price can’t possibly go any lower, chances are they haven’t been trading for long. That’s not meant to be harsh but simply to say, no trader knows the future. What traders can do is recognize that patterns tend to play out and repeat over and over again which can lead to higher probability entries.

One of the principles of every trader who enters an order, whether long or short is that they believe they’ve entered at a good price in relation to where they expect the market to go. One trader will be right and the other will be wrong if they entered at the same price with similar stops and limits. While there is no guarantee which trader will be profitable and which won’t, there are some things we can do to put the odds in our favor.

Methods to Help Prevent Buying a Low Before It Goes Lower.


As stated at the beginning of the article, there is no crystal ball or Holy Grail. However, there are methods that you can use to stay on the likely right side of the big moves. The three methods we’re going to look at are pivot lines to identify support and resistance, RSI to understand directional strength, and trendlines or directional channels.


The purpose of these three methods is to help you avoid buying something that’s falling. On the other hand, selling something just because it’s rising can become a fool’s game as well. That’s why studying price action can give a big leg over investors or traders who feel pr ice “can’t go any lower”, which has been the rallying cry of many losing trades.


Pivot Line s for Support & Resistance.


Pivot Lines are a leading indicator of sort. In short, Pivot Lines are a famous indicator to help you forecast likely future points of resistance and support to limit risk and find profit targets. Rising Pivot levels overtime can help you find a significant higher low to enter a buy trade or lower high to enter a sell trade on.

Knowing that the Holy Grail doesn’t exist, Pivots are a helpful way to get a feel for the directional bias. Combining pivots lines with candlestick analysis is a preferred method of many traders to find strong entries with the trend. A short cut for new traders looking at price action is to fade long wicks (highlighted above) against the trend as they likely are a rejection of a price test and often end up carrying back price in the direction of the trend.


Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Directional Strength.


The Relative Strength Index is the utility knife of many traders. When the RSI crosses an extreme level and is making directional moves higher or lower, traders can look for strong entries that favor the RSI bias. One simple way to find a directional bias on RSI is to add a moving average or trendline to the RSI and find bounces off support or breakouts of the RSI for a high probability entry.

Rising or Falling Trendlines or Channels.


Trendlines and channels are nice and simple. The value of a trendline or channel is increased every time it is tested. When markets are moving higher a trendline is a form of support that can be used to identify buying opportunities. When markets are moving lower, a trendline is a form of resistance that can be used to identify selling opportunities.


The purpose of this article is to help you understand that buying low and selling high is not a given trading system. You may be buying something that’s about to go a lot lower or selling something before it skyrockets. Because price is the ultimate indicator, trendlines or channels can help you pinpoint a higher probability entry as opposed to a cheap entry which could end up costing you a lot if it continues to move against you.

Finding a directional bias through the methods above can help you pinpoint entries. There is nothing wrong with buying a low or selling a high as long as it’s in the direction of the prevailing trend. Trading against the prevailing trend is often more trouble than it’s worth so we recommend identifying the trend and then entering on opportunities with the trend.

Strategy Series, Part 4: The HI-Low Breakout.


by Walker England.


Position Traders can Trade Breakouts Use Channels for Support & Resistance Using a trail can allow a position to lock in profit with the trend.


There are virtually limitless trading strategies for a variety of trading environments and time constraints. This is good news because whether you have a few minutes or a few hours a week to invest in trading, you can still participate in the Forex market. In our previous strategy session, we reviewed day trading with short term time frames using the “ CCI Swing ” strategy. Today we will continue our conversation, by reviewing a position trading strategy for long term traders using the “Hi-Low Breakout” for trending markets. Let’s get started!


Find the Daily Trend.


The “HI-Low Breakout” approach is designed to find entries with the trend when price breaks from a key point of support or resistance. Since we will be selling in a downtrend and buying in an uptrend, the first task of this strategy is to find the trend. To begin traders will need to identify the primary trend on a Daily chart. A 200 MVA (Simple Moving Average) will be used for this, similar to the previously mentioned “ CCI Swing ” strategy. At this point, traders should note whether price is above or below the MVA.


Below we can see an example of the 200 MVA at work on a GBPUSD Daily chart. The trend is considered to be down because price is below the 200 MVA. Keep this in mind, because if prices were instead above the 200 MVA the pair would be considered in an uptrend. Once the primary trend is found, keep this information in mind as we move forward and consider market entries.


Identify Support & Resistance.


Donchian Channels are a technical tool that can be applied to any chart. Their primary use is to pinpoint current levels of support and resistance by identifying the high and low price on a graph, over a selected number of periods. For today’s “Hi-Low Breakout” strategy we will be using 20 periods on a daily chart. This means that the channels will be used to identify the current 20 day high and low price. You can see these channels displayed in the graphic below, and this information will be carried over for our entry strategy.


Now that we have identified both the trend and support & resistance, it is time to plan an entry into the market. In a downtrend (price under the 200MVA), entry orders to sell the market should be placed one pip under the 20 day low. The idea is, when support is broken in an uptrend traders will look to sell. Conversely, in an uptrend traders will look to buy the market one pip above the 20 day high. While traders can opt to trade with market orders on a new high or low, entry orders are preferred here. This way orders can be set, and traders can trade breakouts occurring at any time of day without having to be in front of their computer.


Above, we can see a sample sell signal for the GBPUSD. Before today’s price action, the GBPUSD had a new 20 day low established at 1.5032. This means a sample entry could be placed at 1.5031. As price passed through this value, the entry would be executed effectively selling the GBPUSD.


Managing Risk & Trailing Stops.


Managing your positions is the last, but arguably the most important part of any strategy. When trading the “HI-Low Breakout”, this process can be simplified through the use of the Donchian Channels already identified on our graph. Remember how our pricing channels (representing the 20 Day high or low), act as an area of support or resistance? In an uptrend, price is expected to move to higher highs and stay above this value. If price moves through the bottom channel, representing a new 20 Day low, traders will want to exit any long positions. Conversely in a downtrend, traders will want to place stops orders at the current 20 period high. This way, traders will exit any short positions upon the creation of a new high.


Finally traders will use the Donchian Channels as a mechanism to trail their stop forward. As the trend continues, traders will move their stop down the channel. Trailing a stop in this manner will allow you to update the stop with the position, and lock in profit as the trend continues. In the event that the trend turns, the positons will be closed at a new high (in a downtrend) or low (in an uptrend).


The “HI-Low Breakout” position trading strategy is just one installment of an ongoing article series on market strategies. If you missed one of the previously mentioned strategies, don’t worry! You can catch up on all of the action with the previous articles linked below.

Daily High Low Forex Trading Strategy.


The daily high low forex trading strategy is based on one simple concept: if price breaks yesterday’s high or low, it will most likely continue in that direction of breakout. So this is a breakout trading strategy.


So how do you trade this then? Well here’s how…


what you do is place 2 pending stop orders (buy stop or sell stop) to catch whichever direction the breakout happens.

Currency Pairs: preferably the majors.

TRADING RULES FOR DAILY HIGH LOW FOREX TRADING STRATEGY.


When yesterday’s daily candlestick closes, place two pending orders on both sides 2 pips away : one sell stop pending order to catch the breakout downward and one buy stop pending order to catch the breakout upwards. place your stop loss halfway distance of that closed daily candlestick. for take profit target, average the last 3 days range and use that as your profit targets. For example, if day 1 daily candle range (high-low)was 100 pips, day two had 150 pips and day 3 had 90 pips, then the average of these three days would be 113 pips. So 113 pips should be set as your take profit target.


ADVANTAGES OF THE DAILY HIGH LOW FOREX TRADING STRATEGY.


set and forget type of forex trading system where you only need to check once a day and see how your trade is progressing. this is a forex trading system for beginners because its easy to use and understand. this trading system stops you from over trading because seriously, less is more in trading. Why? Because if you take 10 trades in a day using smaller timeframes, you are most likely to suffer a lot of losses compared to taking only one trade based on the daily candlestick.


DISADVANTAGES OF THE DAILY HIGH LOW FOREX TRADING STRATEGY.


large stop loss distances so use position sizing to minimize your risk. all forex trading strategies as usual have limitations and this system is no exception so expect trading losses because sometimes the market will activate one pending order and next thing you know, price is going to opposite direction heading for your stop loss!


You get recessions, you have stock market declines. If you don’t understand that’s going to happen, then you’re not ready, you won’t do well in the markets. – Peter Lynch.

This does not work. I suspect that it needs the accompanying EX4 file…………


The indie I down loaded and put onto my chart doesn’t look anything like the one on the image.


Am I clicking on the correct button or am I getting the wrong file?


Hello there: Re: High Low Indicator for MT4.


Would really love to get this indicator going. I have downloaded it several times and nothing I do makes it work? I have placed in the correct folders, however when I drag it to chart, nothing happens.


This indicator is fixed and it should work now just download it again.
