Normally price will not stay at the decision points much longer. Decision points are areas from where price moved away historically. These points are proven levels of demand supply imbalance. I expect a significant group of traders to react and act at these levels and create an imbalance again.
On rare occasions price will not run away from these areas, Instead it chops around it creating a tight trading range(TTR)..This is a very dangerous pattern which I call "Barbed Wire". If you try to trade the DP , you may get whipsawed left and right.Fortunately this pattern is rare and most of the time it appears around BRN.Once a BOF trade fails dont be in a hurry. to enter again. Better to stay out till price moves out of the TTR. Never attempt Counter Trend trades.
When in doubt, stay out
Have you considered classifying the strength of a decision point by how strong price left the level previously? Google Sam Seiden and have a look at his supply/demand zones and his odds enhancers. I trade strong decision points/zones as greater reversal potential. Weaker zones are more likely to act as areas for trapping traders for the liquidity before reversing. Stronger zones are usually areas where a bunch of limit orders will be stacked and traders who missed the last stromng move there last time are waiting, or where banks have large unfilled orders waiting.

ReplyDeleteNo way. Once you get stopped out at a DP , do not be in a hurry to trade that area again.Confirm it is not a Channel or Barbed Wire
