Another reason to add some channel lines...

Might have missed a fill on the first arrow, but the second should have been a winner;

If you got in long again above, it should have been a BE at worst, you can see how clearly the channel gets busted when they are drawn in on your chart.

Often a channel break only goes to create another shallower channel on a bigger scale.

I kinda like it it made me focus better and get back to grabbing
At the end of the day, grabbing 3 x 10tick wins is great too, especially with 4 contracts . . ..

Well, let's face it - the markets never give you a reliable forecast. A channel will last until it is no longer.

The earlier that you recognise it, the more chances it creates, but also, the riskier it is. The one is Ras's chart is the best cos it has parallel lines. These are the ones where you can get your lines drawn in earlier with a better chance of success.

They happen everywhere on all scales, but as i've said before, the best trades are when a pullback touches a channel line together with retracing to prior S/D level.

Together with the more obvious trades (123, trigger back into underlying trend retraces, or wicks or tail retests etc), it gives you a good arsenal to not only stave off boredom, but also to keep the success rate high.
