90%
80%	in a trend, 80% of reversal attempt fails; in a TR, 80% of BO attempt fails.
75%	if yesterday was climactic, there is 75% chance of trading range for a few hours today.
70%	if a bar is exceptionally bigger than other bars, 70% chance at least MM, especially when it has ok FT (at least doji). Probability of success of 70 percent or better (reward has to be at least half as big as risk just to break even): Scalps, but since most traders cannot consistently pick trades with a 70 percent chance of success, they should trade a scalp only if the reward is at least as large as the risk. For example, if you believe that a two-point stop is needed in the Emini, take the trade only if at least a two-point reward is reasonable.
60%	Probability of success of 60 percent or better (reward has to be at least as big as risk to break even): Buying a high 2 pullback to the moving average in a bull trend. Selling a low 2 pullback to the moving average in a bear trend. Buying a wedge bull flag pullback in a bull trend. Selling a wedge bear flag pullback in a bear trend. Buying a breakout pullback from a breakout of a bull flag in a bull trend. Selling a breakout pullback from a breakout of a bear flag in a bear trend. Buying a high 1 pullback in a strong bull spike in a bull trend, but not after a buy climax. Selling a low 1 pullback in a strong bear spike in a bear trend, but not after a sell climax. Shorting at the top of a trading range, especially if it is a second entry. Buying at the bottom of a trading range, especially if it is a second entry. Trend reversals: After a strong break of the trend line, look for a reversal after a test of the trend's extreme where there is a good reversal signal bar. Traders are looking to buy a higher low or a lower low at a bottom, or to short a higher high or a lower high at a top. Strong final flag reversal. Buying a third or fourth push down in a bear stairs pattern for a test of the low of the prior push down. Selling a third or fourth push up in a bull stairs pattern for a test of the high of the prior push up. Entering using limit orders; this requires more experience reading charts, because the trader is entering in a market that is going in the opposite direction to the trade. However, experienced traders can reliably use limit or market orders with these setups: Buying a bull spike in a strong bull breakout at the market or at the close of the bar, or on a limit order at or below the low of the prior bar (entering in spikes requires a wider stop and the spike happens quickly, so this combination is difficult for many traders). Selling a bear spike in a strong bear breakout at the market or at the close of the bar, or on a limit order at or above the high of the prior bar (entering in spikes requires a wider stop and the spike happens quickly, so this combination is difficult for many traders). Buying a bear breakout at around a measured move, if the breakout is not too strong—for example, if the range is about four points tall in the Emini, buying on a limit order at four points below the range, risking four points, and expecting a test of the breakout point. Only very experienced traders should consider this. Selling a bull breakout at around a measured move, if the breakout is not too strong—for example, if the range is about four points tall in the Emini, selling on a limit order at four points above the range, risking four points, and expecting a test of the breakout point.
