One of the most difficult markets to predict can be<br />

the sideways and ranging markets, i always<br />

recommend traders to focus on trading trending<br />

markets, but the problem is that the markets spend<br />

more than 70 % of their time in ranging motion.<br />

If you focus just on trending markets, you will<br />

probably leave lot of money on the table, this is the<br />

reason why learning how to approach range bound<br />

market is a must if you want to make decent living<br />

trading financial markets.<br />

What is a range-bound market?<br />

When the market stop making higher highs and<br />

higher lows in case of an uptrend or lower highs and<br />

lower lows in case of a downtrend, the price starts<br />

acting between specific high price and low price.<br />

This is a clear signal that the market is ranging and<br />

no longer trending. See the illustration below:<br />

As you see in the example above, the market is<br />

trendless, it is trading between horizontal support<br />

and resistance, and you can’t apply the same<br />

techniques that you use in trending market to trade<br />

engulfing bar patterns in range bound markets.<br />
