I’ve traded for 6 years and tried everything:

- Penny stocks
- Smart Money Concepts
- RSI/MACD
-Supply/Demand
- ICT

This 3 step “Box” strategy beats ALL of them by a mile: 🧵

Before we dive in, bookmark the tweet above so you can come back to it later 👆🏻

I'm going to show you the exact entry/stop/target plan for this strategy so you'll want to save it for the future

Ok, let's start with Step 1! 👇🏻

Step 1) Identify a "balance zone"

A balance zone is simply an area of price where there's a clear horizontal channel

It's easiest to spot when there's a clear support and resistance area on both sides

These "balance zones" usually has price action that is:

1. Choppy
2. Slow
3. All over the place

You want to draw this yellow "balance zone" by finding at least 2-3 support/resistance touch points on both sides and use them as the edges of your box

Step 2) Wait for price to make this pattern

After a balance zone forms, price will try and break out on either side

This is where only 2 things can happen

1. Price will breakout and continue pushing
2. Price will false breakout and reverse

The pattern we are looking for is the "False Breakout" or also known as a "stop hunt"

After you see this pattern form, you'll be ready for step 3

But first, I need to share the 2 confirmations I look for to determine a false breakout 👇🏻

1. Volume

The first way to know is that when price breaks out, you'll see an increase in volume

You can see in the picture below relative to all the other volume, there was a huge spike when price tried to break out of the box

2. Speed

The best false breakouts reverse QUICKLY and almost instantly

You don't want to see price consolidate after a break out

You want to see it come outside the box, then immediately back inside (timeframe dependent)

Step 3) Execute The Trade

After you've identified a balance zone AND have seen price false break from it, you can now get into the trade

Before getting into entries and stops, I first look at my Target

My Target is ALWAYS the other side of the box

Your entry is going to be when price gets back inside the box

Your stop loss will be at the low/high of the false breakout

So your trade plan will look something like this 👇🏻

This specific example only ended up being a 1:1 R/R

But most of the time, you can find good setups with a 1:2 or 1:3 risk/reward trades

This strategy works on ALL timeframes but you MUST have a good understanding of price action for this to work
