Category:FADING

Fading is to bet the breakout will fail and place orders in the opposite direction of the breakout. For example the breakout of TR often fails, fading is a common technique used when trading TR. Traders also fade in strong trend^[1]:

• In a strong bull trend, fade short scalps, since most will fail. When there is a strong bull trend and then a short scalp setup, buy on a limit order at two or three ticks above where the short scalpers are looking to take profits. For example, if there is a short setup in the Emini in a strong bull trend, look to buy on a limit order at about four ticks below the bear signal bar and risk about three ticks, expecting the sell-off to not reach the six ticks needed for the bears to make a one-point scalp.
• In a strong bear trend, fade long scalps, since most will fail. When there is a strong bear trend and then a buy scalp setup, short on a limit order at two or three ticks below where the bull scalpers are looking to take profits.
