Abstract

{ "name": "range_extention_fade_second_push", "source": "Al Brooks / Trading Price Action Trends (2011) \u2014 failed trend bars and double top/bottom pullback traps", "type": "entry_engine", "rule": "If price makes a new 20-bar high on bar N, closes below the prior bar's high, and on bar N+1 price opens above bar N's low but fails to exceed bar N's high, enter short at bar N+1 close with stop above bar N high.", "pseudocode": "if high[N] == highest(high, 20) // new 20-bar high\nand close[N] < high[N-1] // close below prior bar high\nand open[N+1] > low[N] // session stays inside prior bar range\nand high[N+1] < high[N] // fails to push above high[N]\nand high[N+1] > low[N] then\nentry = close[N+1];\nstop = high[N];\ntarget = close[N+1] - 1.5*(high[N]-low[N]);", "why_it_works": "The second push after a failed breakout often exhausts momentum and traps late buyers, triggering mean reversion to the prior range." } Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
