Breakout，突破. Breakout means close beyond support or resistance, like high or low of prior bar or bars, or EMA. Bulls want big bull bar closing on its high and far above resistance.

BTC

Buy The Close. Traders will buy the close of bull bar closing near its high or buy above bull bar that closes near its high. For e.g. when there are consecutive bull bars closing near their highs and above EMA, with 2nd body completely above EMA, traders will buy the close and look for MM up, e.g. 20221215. See also STC.

• Exit below a bear bar, or if 2 or 3 consecutive bear bars, especially when BTC-EOD
• If PB in Buy The Close bull trend. Probable TR within 3 bars. Be ready to exit.

In general, whenever you have a BTC market and then a big reversal, a deep pullback, you are looking to buy above a bull bar. However, you want the (distance between the first entry and) the second entry to be at least two or three times bigger than a minimum scalp. Your goal on the second entry is to make a profit, get out around the first entry, break even on the first entry, and with a profit on the second. And in general, you want the (distance between the first entry and the) second entry to be at least two or three times the size of a minimum scalp. For example, in the E-mini, if the minimum scalp is one point, if you are going to be buying above a bull bar, adding to your position, you want the second entry to be about three points below the first entry. ➟ More about BTC

MAG

Moving Average Gap bar. In a trend, If a pullback goes beyond the moving average, it will have the first moving average gap bar setup (for example, in a strong bull trend, there is finally a pullback that has a bar with a high below the exponential moving average). This is usually followed by a test of the extreme and likely a new extreme. Each pullback prior to the reversal is a with-trend entry, because each is a first pullback of one type or another (bar, minor trend line, moving average, moving average gap, or major trend line), and any type of first pullback is usually followed by at least a test of the extreme and usually a new extreme until after the major trend line is broken.

Reversal Bar. A bar with tail on top and close below midpoint is bear reversal bar. A bar with tail below and close above midpoint is bull reversal bar.

A good looking bull reversal bar after a BGD is always a good trade for a scalp at least, vice versa for a good looking bear reversal bar after a BGU, especially when the context is right, for e.g. HTF like daily chart is in trading range and the gap is at the top/bottom of the range.

SB

Signal bar. Normally a trader would want a good signal bar to enter any trade, especially when trading a reversal, but when market is already clearly trending, good signal bar is relatively less important than the overall pattern (for e.g. H2 or A2 buy), in fact, a strong trend usually doesn't give a good signal bar, like bar 36 on 20230125, market wants to make more buyers chase it up.

Bad signal bar

Bad signal bar lowers the probability of a setup, especially when there are consecutive bad signal bars, making the setup less reliable. Below, bar 4 and bar 8 formed a possible GD DT pattern, but bar 4 is a bad SB for L1 and bar 8 is another bad SB for L2, hence consecutive bad SB, this increases the chance of a TRBRL than start of a strong BRT.

TBTL, ten bar two legs. Approximately Ten Bar correction with at least Two Legs. Obviously, not every pullback is a TBTL correction, for e.g. the pullback during the early stage of a strong trend usually has very small pullbacks. Traders should expect TBTL correction when the trend has gone for a while, or late in the trade, where more bulls are either taking profit or only looking for scalping profit, and more bears are will to short, i.e. more TRPA, instead of a hoping for TBTL during the early stage of a trend, for e.g. the BO phase.

Facts:

• Whenever you have a triangle late in the bull trend, it is often a FF, which means if you get a strong breakout, market will try to get back to the apex of the triangle. ⚠️

➟ More about TRI

TRO

Trading Range Open so mostly a limit order market and Breakout Mode. The bulls will look for a double bottom or wedge bottom and then a swing up. The bears want a double top or wedge top and then a swing down. If there are Early Trading Range price action after Trading Range yesterday, Chances are we’ll have at least an hour or two of Trading Range price action today.

When the day opens with a clear trading range presented by multiple legs, there is a very good chance that any trend attempt away from it will at least attempt to turn back into the range due to the magnetic effect of the consolidation, this is similar to the case that market tends to test the apex of the triangle at certain time after the BO, if there is a BO. Often, the trend will reverse exactly at the measured move of the opening range as shown on 20230206.

If the reversal is successful, market will attempt to take out the other extreme of the day. On this example https://ninetrans.blogspot.com/2012/01/measured-move-of-opening-range.html, a successful reversal attempt to take out the other extreme of the day (b29) and can result in a trend in the new direction. When the breakout attempt is during lunch hour, the pullback could be complex and drawn out (b29-46). The fewer the bars the pullback has, the higher the chances of a successful reversal.

When the opening range is relative small, traders will expect a MM up or down breakout of the OR at certain time, for e.g. 20230523.
