FTB

An FTB or a “First Time Back”, is when the markets move BACK to an

FTR that was previously formed. This is a manipulation play that is

of trades and then price continues in the direction of the overall

trend. This is why we call FTBs a trend continuation pattern, while
FTR was called a momentum continuation.

FTB Rules:

(https://ateentrader.com/wp-
content/uploads/2019/07/USDJPY.png)Above is a live example of a
bearish FTB that occurred last week. The market created a very large
FTR during a large downtrend and then continued trending down for
over half of a day. The market then pulled back (without
consolidating) and trended right back up into the FTR zone, closed
inside, and then the next candle closed back below, indicating a
potential sell trade. Following the same strict rules, our stop loss
being above the FTR zone/wicks, and take profit at the recent low
formed the risk-reward for this trade was 1:2.5. This trade is an
example of when the market didn’t continue to the downside a er
the take profit zone, so you must always be doing current market
condition analysis and protecting profits.

Conclusion

All in all, the FTB is a powerfull technical strategy that is very strict
which allows traders to maximize potential profits and minimize
unnecessary losses. If you are a busy trader and do not have time to
always be looking at the charts, check out my FTR indicator (which
also alerts for FTBs when they form). It does not signals and you still
