There are two types of ranges - accumulation and distribution. **A single candle is a range on a lower timeframe. *Find the range and define its, creation dates, prices, and risk parameters. A range is broken down into 4 candle, which create 6 levels that define the range and illustrate market structure. Focus only on the first and last candle of each range. The last candle of each type of range has two levels - see FS & Inv. FS Candles below. DISTRIBUTION RANGES DEFINED: When price is above a distribution range, these candles/levels act as support. (BS) BACKSIDE Candle - First distribution candle in a distribution range. Expectation = strong reaction to price. long wicks reaching to or away from level. high angle accumulation trends, f.v,g's (FS) FrontSide Candle - Last distribution candle in a distribution range. Expectation = reversal, create a low angle accumulation trend. The top of Distribution candles are used as support. The bottom of the FrontSide candle is the SwingLow of the range. The FS candle wants to protect the SwingLow. When/if Price Action closes below the SwingLow, the level is invalidated. Find another range to trade. ACCUMULATION RANGES DEFINED: When price is below an accumulation range, these candles/levels act as resistance. INVERSE BACKSIDE (Inv.BS) - First Accumulation candle in an accumulation range. Expectation. = strong reaction to price. long wicks reaching to or away from level. Creates high angle distribution trends, f.v.g, protects the Inv.FS candle INVERSE FRONTSIDE (Inv.FS) - Last accumulation candle in an accumulation range. Expectation = reversal, create a low angle distribution trend. The bottom of Accumulation candles are used as resistance. The top of the Inv.FrontSide candle is the SwingHigh of the range. The Inv.FS candle wants to protect the SwingHigh. When/if Price Action closes above the SwingHigh, the level is invalidated. Find another range to trade.
