Set-up #1: Sideways Trading Range

==============================================================
Summary:

This set-up uses a well-defined trading range with double-tops and double-
bottoms to buy-the-lows at support and sell-the-highs at resistance. The most
important thing to remember with this set-up is to look for the sideways-trading-
range that is very easy to find. Look for double-tops and double-bottoms to tell
us we have price-action moving in a clearly-defined trading range.

==============================================================
Set-up Characteristics:

 This set-up requires a well-defined sideways-trading-range

 This sideways-trading-range can be on any chart timeframe
 Look for a slower timeframe to find the range, then use a faster timeframe
for the entry trigger
 Avoid trading in the middle of a sideways-trading-range
 Buy-the-lows of the range and take profit-target at the highs
 Sell-the-highs of the range and take profit-target at the lows
 Use the anchor chart and the long-term-trend to define the direction of the
high-percentage-trades.

Entry Trigger:

Long Trade:

 Price must test the lows of the sideways-trading-range

 The buyers will hold the lows as support
 Look for the entry signal long on your entry chart
 Use the anchor chart to trade in the same direction as the long-term-trend
to increase your odds of success

Short Trade:

 Price must test the highs of the sideways-trading-range

 The sellers will hold the highs as resistance
 Look for the entry signal short on your entry chart
 Use the anchor chart to trade in the same direction as the long-term-trend
to increase your odds of success
