🎯 What’s This Strategy Really About?
You know what? This strategy is like playing “hide and seek” in the stock market! 📈 When the market shows an “inside day” (today’s range is completely contained within yesterday’s), it’s like the market is holding its breath, preparing for a big explosion!
Key point! This strategy specifically captures those “can’t hold it anymore” breakout moments, especially on the “golden trading days” of Monday, Thursday, and Friday.
🔍 The Core Logic is Super Simple
Imagine the market as a compressed spring: - Yesterday was an “inside day” (completely contained within the day before) - The day before yesterday was a big bullish candle (bulls were excited) - Today’s opening price must be below key resistance levels
When price breaks above the highest point of the past 3 periods, it’s like releasing a compressed spring - the strategy immediately goes long! 🚀
💡 Risk Control: Two Safety Locks
First Lock: Fixed Stop Loss You can choose point-based or percentage-based stop loss, like setting a “loss limit” for yourself - never be greedy!
Second Lock: FPO Exit Rule This is the smartest part! Once any day opens with profit, immediately take profits. It’s like the wisdom of “quit while you’re ahead” - don’t wait for the market to change its mind! ✨
🎪 Why Choose Specific Trading Days?
The strategy only trades on Monday, Thursday, and Friday - this isn’t random! These days are typically:
- Monday: Direction setting for the new week
- Thursday: Important data release day
- Friday: Fund rebalancing day
Avoid the “bland days” of Tuesday and Wednesday, only strike when there’s a story to tell!
🌟 Who Is This Strategy For?
If you’re the type of trader who likes “quick in, quick out” and doesn’t want to watch screens all day, this strategy is tailor-made for you! It has clear entry signals, clean stop-loss rules, and smart profit-taking mechanisms.
Remember: The market is like a spring - the tighter it’s compressed, the higher it bounces! 🎯
