1/ What are NR4 and NR7:
NR4 (Narrow Range) and NR7 mean when a stock price has made the smallest range (High-Low) in the last 4 and 7 days respectively.
These candles indicate compression in the price and it is expected to give a massive one-sided move in either direction.
2/ How to Trade NR4 Candle?
⚡️ Identify NR4 Candle
⚡️ Mark the High of that Candle
⚡️ Place a buy limit or GTT Order if the next few candles go above the High of the NR4 candle
⚡️ Keep Stoploss as the low of the NR4 Candle
⚡️ Keep a Target of at least 1:2 or 1:3 Risk:Reward. If the Risk at Stoploss is 2% then keep the target of at leas 4-6%. Anything above this is good or can trail Stoploss also whichever is appropriate
⚡️ Exit if Stoploss/Trailing Stoploss/Target is hit
Let's see some NR4 examples:
#CERA formed a NR4 Setup on 4th May 2023.
The next candle crossed NR4 Candle High and buying was triggered.
Buying Price: 6470
SL: 6370
Target: 6670/6870 which got hit.
If TSL was used then for 100 points risk, the profit is 700 points.
3/ How to Trade NR7 Candle?
⚡️ Identify NR7 Candle
⚡️ Mark the High of that Candle
⚡️ Place a buy limit or GTT Order if the next few candles go above the High of the NR7 candle
⚡️ Keep Stoploss as the low of the NR7 Candle
⚡️ Keep a Target of at least 1:2 or 1:3 Risk:Reward. If the Risk at Stoploss is 2% then keep the target of at least 4-6%. Anything above this is good or can trail Stoploss also whichever is appropriate
⚡️ Exit if Stoploss or Trailing Stoploss or Target is hit
Let's see some NR7 examples on weekly tf:
#LIKHITHA formed a NR7 Setup on 27th March 2023.
The next candle crossed NR7 Candle High and buying was triggered.
Buying Price: 239
SL: 227
Target: 263/275 which got hit.

These are some examples where NR4 and NR7 worked beautifully.

That's why we suggest keeping Risk:Reward of at least 1:2 and even with 50% accuracy you will be profitable.

⚡️ Use Divergence on the minimum time frame of Daily and Weekly.

A 9 step guide on how to make your Swing Trading better : 🧵👇
• Use top down analysis to simplify your process : this simply says that analyze on weekly and enter on daily. To get precise stops, use another LTF.
• After taking the entry stop monitoring each and every move on LTF - there is just extra noise once you enter. A single 1-5 minute bearish candle cant change the thesis of your trade taken on Monthly.
