Trade Setup Library
Six proven trade setups used by professional traders. Each includes ideal conditions, entry rules, invalidation criteria, risk tips, and practical examples.
Range expansion
Breakout
Price breaks through a key support or resistance level with strong momentum. One of the most common and profitable setups when traded with confirmation.
- Works on all timeframes
- Volume confirmation key
- Often follows consolidation
Trend re-entry
Pullback / Retracement
Enter in the direction of the trend after a temporary pullback to a support/resistance level, moving average, or Fibonacci zone.
- Higher probability than breakouts
- Better risk/reward ratio
- Uses trend structure
Mean reversion
Range Reversal
Fade the extremes of a well-defined range. Price bounces between support and resistance — trade the rejection at edges with tight stops.
- Best in low-volatility markets
- Clear invalidation levels
- Tight stops possible
Structure-based
Trend Continuation
Trade the next leg of an existing trend after price forms a continuation pattern — flag, pennant, ascending triangle, or higher-low formation.
- High probability with trend
- Pattern-based entry
- Multi-timeframe confirmation
Post-event reversal
News Spike Fade
After a strong initial spike from a news event, price often reverses partially. This setup fades the overreaction with a tight stop beyond the spike.
- Requires fast execution
- High reward potential
- Must understand event impact
Range break at open
Session Breakout
Trade the breakout from the Asian session range at London open, or the London range at New York open. Uses time-based volatility expansion.
- Time-based edge
- Clear range to measure
- Session overlap volatility
