A unique strategy for trading on a
range-bound market

This strategy will teach you to trade with cross pairs in a market where price bounces between high and low extremes.

Timeframe: all

Currency pairs: cross pairs

Market state:: range-bound



Traders can use the range-trading strategy when the market has no clear trend. Range-bound or a sideways trend can happen with any currency, but it is particularly widespread in popular cross pairs, such as AUDNZD, GBPCAD, and EURGBP. After finding a range-bound market where prices fluctuate between two extremes, traders should identify the support (green line) and the resistance (red line) and measure the difference between the two.

Required indicators:

  • There are no specific indicators. However, you can use Bollinger Bands to find a range-bound market and apply Stochastic (21, 1, 3) as an auxiliary indicator to find entry and exit points.

Conversely, when Lead 1 crosses below Lead 2, it indicates a bearish crossover. That means the trend is probably heading downwards.


  • Price is trading near the resistance line.
  • The stochastic is above 70.li>

Stop Loss

Set the Stop Loss order above the previous high and before the entry point.
