A little about context

For myself context is such an important aspect of trading. One of my favourite trades is an open out of range (OOR), responsive activity causing a (partial) gap close and subsequent failure to gain acceptance into prior range.

Under this scenario the only way to go is the other way, or balance (not frequently). It also gives an obvious cue for when to gtfo due to being wrong (your risk), gives us the potential of a larger than normal move in our favour (price seeking behaviour/possible trend day) often implying double the typical range or more, allows us to possibly enter with more size and/or trade around a core position and really helps to filter the noise.

You can double/triple your potential profit on these types of days IF you allow your brain to recognize and accept what is happening.

Once one has a little experience (and it doesn't take much tbh) in determining good levels of support/resistance (SR) then applying some sort of context becomes a very powerful way of helping your brain accept and trade what is really happening vs what you want to happen.

Context + Trading Plan + Trading Rules = Success over Time;

Practice determining context on larger and smaller time frames is likely to lead to more controlled trading/less impulsive clicks. I know it does for me.
