30 September 2022 – Volatility trading with Buy/Sell quadrants
This is a study of using TiTTs on the 30 September 2022. The idea is to manage a trade using the ATR Trailing StopLoss or the 55 SMA to handle volatility. The reward is bigger profits when market is trending well. The downside is the potential for lack of smaller and more frequent profits in non-trending market or market with only short trend.
Chart 1: 30 September 2022 – 1 minute chart showing the Entry points and also the possible Exit points
Chart 1 above shows Buy/Sell quadrants. The Buy signal was given when the vertical line of the 8/31 EMA crosses above. There was an immediate pullback with the candles managing to keep the candle close above the 55 SMA and thus remained in the Buy-Buy zone. There was a short upTrend followed by longer period of non-trending volatility with the candles range trending sideways.
Then there was a Squeeze upward followed by another period of sideway trading. Then there was a last Squeeze upward. If we had been managing the Momentum-Trendm we would have exited the trade profitable but a small profit.
The idea is that the Momentum-Trend system for managing trade is a short term technique and result in smaller profits.
If we are using the ATR Trailing-StopLoss for managing the trade, it would have resulted in holding the trade for much longer and a corresponding larger profit. The 55 SMA is also a good line for managing longer term trades.
Buy/Sell Quadrants Explained On the horizontal timescale, the Vertical line represent the 8/21 EMA crossing. When 8 EMA crosses above the 21 EMA, it forms a vertical line and we are now in the Buy zone. The 55 SMA is the other Buy/Sell zone dividing line. Above the 55 SMA is the Buy zone and below the 55 SMA is the Sell zone. Hence we have a quadrant.
Although there are 4 quadrants, only the Upper Right and the Lower Left quadrants are of interest. The Lower Left quadrant is the Sell zone and the Upper Right quadrant is the Buy quadrant.
