Thread by @Mindset_BTC

I made a free Price Action course not long ago - I'll share some detailed threads on portions of the course so you don't have to spend hours watching them when trading #Bitcoin & #Altcoins

We'll jump ahead to Module 4 - Ranges & Targets.

Why? Because I loved sharing this one!

What's in a Range?

A range is simply defined by anchoring two points on a chart based on:

A timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly etc)
Market structure
Or a combination of both

The method I use to anchor the range is a Fibonacci Tool, with values set at 1, 0.5, and 0

Range Tool Setup 1/1

1) First Select the 3rd item down on the left hand side menu
Then select "Fib Retracement"

2) Open up the settings of the Fib Retracement Tool, then set up the Fib tool to show the 0, 1, and 0.5 levels

Range Tool Setup 2/2

Once you've set up your fibs per the above, they should look something like this:

'0' Anchor Point down the bottom

'1' Anchor Point up top

0.5, Mid Range Level in the centre

Determining a Range

In my opinion, we can set up a range based on a couple of factors:

- Timeframe Structure
- Market Structure
- Combination of both

Let's take a look at a couple of examples

Timeframe Based Ranges 1/4

Timeframe Based Ranges are the simplest in my opinion as they are literally pulled from the high to the low of a previous daily, weekly, or monthly candle

Timeframe Based Ranges 2/4

When we look at one example below, but just note two things:

- You can also use this method on the daily & lower timeframes

- You'll also see to the left of this PA that you could also form an overall Market Structure Based Range too

Timeframe Based Ranges 3/4

In this 2H case, we've got a range that has been determined by a previous week.

Note that in order to use this method, we need to extrapolate this range shown out to the next trading week

You can see that blue box represents the previous weeks range

Timeframe Based Ranges 4/4

You can see here that the range we extrapolated can be a great for determining a trading plan

- Price respected the previous weeks range low
- Price then finds acceptance above the previous weeks mid range
- Price then ran the previous week range high

Market Structure Based Ranges 1/3

With a Market Structure (MS) Based range, you need a logical approach.

I find that a swing low following a steep move down, and a swing high after said swing low work quite well as the definition of a range (see chart on the right for this)

Market Structure Based Ranges 2/3

As price action plays out:

- You can see that range low is violated (liquidity run), - Then running up to mid range for a rejection
- Followed then by a further range low deviation for another run on sellside liquidity (stops ran)

Market Structure Based Ranges 3/3

As is evident in the example, Market Structure Based ranges can hold their place for a significant amount of time

As price is fractal in nature, you'll be able to replicate this set up on any timeframe, noting how respected ranges like this are

Targets - Market Structure 1/2

When we describe market structure based targets, we're aiming for swing highs, swing lows, or equal highs or lows (shown here)

When price trades away from these areas, we can expect that participants have most likely placed stops at these points

Targets - Market Structure 2/2

As price is driven to and from liquidity pools, this is why we'll see the lows or highs taken out, with price then running in the opposite direction to opposing areas of liquidity as shown in the chart above, and also below

Targets - FVG's 1/2

FVG's are a straight forward concept where price is not always seeking liquidity, but also seeking to balance itself out as well

This balance is brought about after price quickly moves away from an area, which then looks to 'fill' these areas again

Targets - FVG's 2/2

Note that FVG's work both ways, both bullish or bearish

As price generally 'fills' these voids back, we can then utilise FVG's to our advantage in the form of a target for liquidity or price to be drawn to when determining a trading plan or idea

So that's it, you've now got a better understanding of ranges & also some targets to work to.
