Once you see that the CTI triggered a breakout out, you simply analyze the trade and make a trading decision based on what the indicator showed you.

Right here there is no breakout triggered but you could use another strategy to trade that channel and find a good possible entry. Whats great about this indicator we are finding out as we go is that you can trade inside and outside the channel. So there is basically always a possible trade happening.

The indicator would make short work of trying to identify these channels. Would look forward to that! Sure thing! Most Traders are not graphic designers or artists so why should we have to constantly be drawing these channels 🙂.

Can the strategy be utilised by swing traders too?? Yes this strategy uses the 15 minute chart to identify the break and go if you want to call it that. So once you see a pull back candle that closed on a 15 minute chart, you wait for two min. candles to close then you make your entry. So the example I used you had to wait for two bullish green candles to close on a 15 minute chart in order to make the entry.

Rabbit Trail Channel Trading Strategy by TradingStrategyGuides Last updated Nov 1, All Strategies , Indicator Strategies , Most Popular 95 comments.

F This Channel Trading Strategy can be a huge difference-maker in your trading arsenal. Our Most Advanced Channel Trading Indicator! Click here to learn more! What is Channel Trading and Why Is It Important for This Strategy? Kind of like skid marks on a road It goes back and forth but never exits the area. There Are Three Different Types of Channels: Ascending Channel Descending Channel Horizontal Channel There needs to be at least two support and resistance levels to validate a channel!

The support and resistance points are marked in the pictures above. You can see in the three examples above that they all have at least 2 levels of each. Rule 1: This Channel Trading Strategy Requires You To Draw a channel on a 4 hour or 1-hour chart.

Not too bad. So basically all you are doing here is drawing parallel lines. Rule 2 Identify If there is a Breakout of a channel on a 1-hour chart. This breakout happened on the top of the channel. So that means you will BUY. If the breakout happens on the bottom of the channel then you will SELL. Not so fast.. Rule 3 Wait for a Pull Back on a Minute Chart. Why wait? Because the market is a money-grabbing machine, and they want your hard-earned cash! Look at the example below for proof of this.

That is why it is so important to Wait for it to pull back. So back to our original example, you see below the pullback we are talking about. Our Most Advanced Channel Trading Indicator we call the CTI Indicator. Available on the Meta Trader 4, Meta Trader 5, Ninja Trader 7, and Ninja Trader 8 Platform! Rule 4 After Pull Back, Make Entry. We are getting so close to getting on our rabbit trail to make some serious pips!

If it is a BUY trade we want to see TWO bullish up candles after the pullback. If it is a SELL trade we want to see TWO bearish down candles after the pullback. Below is where we would enter. Enter after the two bullish minute candlesticks close.

You may be thinking oh no! The trade went the wrong way, get out now! Rule 5 Stop Loss Placement This is probably one of the most important rules of the strategy.

In a Buy The stop loss will be placed in the channel below the last support point. In a SELL The stop loss will be placed in the channel above the last resistance point. In our example, you can see where the stop loss was placed. Rule 6 Ride The Rabbit Trail to 50 pips using this Channel Trading Strategy!

The last thing you need to do is know when to exit. This strategy goes for a 50 pip target. The rabbit trail could take 2 hours, or it could take as long as two days.

Stay in the trade and remember your rules. You are going for a 50 pip breakout trade! So to recap, here is what needs to happen in order for you to enter a trade: Rule 1: - Draw a channel on a 1 hour chart.

Rule 2 - Identify If there is a Breakout on 4 hour or 1 hour chart. Rule 3 - Wait for a Pull Back on a 15 minute Chart.

Rule 4 - After Pull Back, Make Entry. Rule 5 - Find a Stop Loss Placement. Rule 6 - Ride The Rabbit Trail to 50 pips! com To Learn Another strategy, check out the trend following strategy article here.

I will also show you a forex channel trading system, trend channel trading strategy, fx analysis, and much more in this article.

Also, read about the Trail stop-loss in Forex. This strategy is all about taking advantage of the price movement that is moving away from normal price action. We want to escape this channel and enter on our rabbit trail to pip glory! Here is another strategy called The PPG Forex Trading Strategy. A channel is simply a price movement that uses support and resistance in the past to validate what it will do in the future.

This type of movement creates a price channel on the charts. When constructing these channels, ALWAYS remember that both lines need to be parallel to each other. Do not force trend lines to look like a channel. Helpful information : If you are completely new to this type of trading dive into some charts and do some channel work. Simply go back in time on the charts and draw yourself some channels. If they match what you see above, perfect! Keep doing them!

Once you did about of these it should be fresh on your mind and you will be ready to master a trading strategy that mainly focuses on these channels. The first thing you need to do to get this strategy started off is you need to find a channel on a four hour or one hour chart.

Remember there must be two resistance and support points to validate a channel. This strategy can use many currency pairs. Make sure you search through all of them. Do not get caught up in only trading one currency pair. Get in the charts and see for yourself! There are channels everywhere. This strategy will work with any currency pair. The opportunities are endless So below is a prime example of a horizontal channel.

This is AUDNZD chart taken on a minute time frame. I added the color where the channel is highlighted. Just as long as both of your lines are parallel to each other.

The way you find the trade is to find a breakout of the channel. In a perfect world, the support and resistance levels will hold on forever. Below the breakout candle is marked.

This was taken on a one hour chart. In this strategy, we will use the one hour chart to find a breakout. Here is an example of a master candle setup. So if you would have got in this trade right when it broke out of the channel you would soon have got stopped out. This is where many people struggle. They see that it broke out so they want to click BUY or SELL right now!! Our lines are drawn, we identified the breakout and waited for the pullback.

It is now time to make our trade. The criteria to make an entry after a pullback on a minute chart to enter a trade is that there must be two minute candles that support our trade. In our example we are using we would need to see two green bullish candles after a pullback to enter a trade.

We are not worried about that because our strategy told us that the breakout occurred and we are moving up! You always need to place a stop loss somewhere for a reason. If you are throwing in stop losses 5 to 10 pips from your entry order just because someone told you to do it, then you are without a doubt treading some dangerous waters.

That way if it does come back in the Channel it will hit the support level and end up going back up in a bullish movement. Hope you find great success with this strategy.
