A RANGE
1. Range definition ?
2. All types of range and how to realize them on chart ?
3. Examples
1. Range definition ?
Range : Market is running up and down in a horizontal area without a valid break out
Condition to define RANGE exactly : Close price is still running within a single candle after 2 – 5 candles
Just focus on RANGE by : Maru, big pinbar, fake break out, invalid pullback
2. All types of range and how to realize them on chart ?
Condition to define RANGE exactly : Close price is still running within a single candle after 2 – 5 candles
Just focus on RANGE by : Maru, big pinbar, fake break out, invalid pullback

2. All types of range and how to realize them on chart ?
If a valid pullback formed after a RANGE, PULLBACK is invalid to define a valid Key level (make key level be invalid)
If a valid pullback formed before a RANGE, PULLBACK is valid to define a valid Key level (make key level be weaker)
GAP
How the gaps form on the market ?
2500$/ounce
Because you can see the future price of Gold should be : 4000$/ounce
Selling price
Buying price
2. When GAP appears on chart ?
XAUUSD – H1
What should we do with gaps ?
XAUUSD – H1
1. Just analyze market structure to monitor trend Wait market reaction at zones by gaps to confirm more.
(if chart just has several gaps)
Always skip trading with GAPS, just monitor market

M15 : Wait 5 days to have 1 chance with RR >= 3 -> You will have 12R profit per month
H1 : Wait 7-8 trading days 1 chance with RR >= 3 -> You will have around 9R profit per month
H4 : Wait 20 days to have 1 chance with RR >=3 -> You will have around 3R profit per month
M5 : 3 chances per day with RR >= 3 You need to sit and monitor charts all day under high pressure

If H1 is invalid pullback/break out - It’s not recommended for new traders - All traders can learn and use it
who Have less than 2 years experience easily.
