Many of my clients acknowledge that my FREE double top and bottom indicator is a very good indicator for intraday trading across various markets. This includes forex, stock indices, commodities and futures.
But there is a simple trick or a method that you can apply to greatly improve the performance of this Double Top/Bottom indicator. On average, my indicator currently gives a 57%-win rate. But using the methods I outline below, you can extend your wining rate of trades to as high as 79%.
This is no marketing hype but mere common sense and understanding of how the financial markets work. So, read on to know more.
As I explain this indicator, you will see why it can give you up to 79% winning trades using some simple methods.
But before we go into the details of how to use the double top/bottom indicator, I want you to understand the concept before you start using this great tool.
The reason is that, when you understand the concept that I teach, you can use this indicator to dramatically improve your trading performance. In fact, you do not need to stick to the four methods that I outline here.
You can very well experiment on your find and something that is unique to you and works for you to improve your trading.
Up to 79% winning trades with the Free Double Top/Bottom Indicator:
The double top and double bottom indicator is a simple yet robust trading indicator. It is available free of cost and you can download it to see how well it captures the double top and double bottom patterns in the market.
By just following my advice and reading below, you can improve your results by up to 22% with this indicator.
A simple way to understand what I’m about to teach you is by this example.
If you want to cross a street with heavy traffic and not get hit by a vehicle, then you need to be patient until you have a high probability to get to the other side safely. My trading concept is no different to this.
You already know how to cross the street. What I will teach you is when you should cross the street safely.
This is the same philosophy in my trading.
You should only trade those signals that give you a high probability of winning. In the rest of this article, you will learn how to do this.
The 1 + 1 = 3 Effect
Yes, 1 + 1 is not three. But in trading, you can have the effect of 1 + 1 = 3.
This is because when you combine two edges rather than one, your trading performance will simply skyrocket. This simple tweak can improve your risk-reward ratio tremendously.
Of course, you have to put in some effort on your end as well.
The 1+1 =3 effect is the very concept behind increasing your winning percentage to up to 79%.
In my Free Telegram group, I select only those double top and bottom signals from the M30 and H1 time frame if they have an edge. How do we find this edge, you ask?
We look to the bigger time frame such as the H4 and D1 which will enable use to edge to our advantage. We combine the larger and smaller time frame charts to get this envious edge in the market.
M30/H1 Signal + H4/D1 Edge = 3 Times Better Trading!
Yes! As you can see above, we use the larger time frame charts to give us the edge to trade from the smaller time frame chart. There are of course different signals that you can trade. This combination is what I will teach you on how to improve your winning performance.
A Mechanical Winning Percentage of 57%
If you are thinking where I got the above number from, then below is an explanation. It is not made up, but rather an enthusiastic member of my group stumbled upon this when researching the winning probability of the Double Top/Bottom indicator.
Recently, a member of my Telegram group analyzed 182 signals that were sent to the community during a span of the past 10 months.
The signal was based on the double top and bottom indicator which also gave an exact entry, target and stop price level. The risk or the distance between the entry and the stop loss level had a ratio of one. In other words, the risk/reward ratio was 1:1.
A profitable trade was identified as followed for the purpose of this analysis:
- If price moved from the entry price with at least one time the risk into profit, then this was a winning trade
- Thus, a risk/reward ratio of 1:1 was used in this analysis.
In the next screenshot, you can see the mechanical signals from the Free double top and bottom indicator. This produced 57% of winning trades out of 182 signals over 10 months.
The 57% of winning trades is already outstanding for a mechanical trading system. Most would agree!
A mechanical trading system can be compared to a set of rules for a blind and a deaf person who wants to cross the street. They can’t hear or see the street. They only walk to the other side.
A mechanical trading system is a type of a tool that will ensure that the blind and deaf person crosses the street safely simply by following the rules.
The next chart below is a screenshot from the analysis that was done.
The conclusion of the study was that the free double top and bottom indicator had a 57%-win ratio which reached the initial profit level which was the same as the risk.
But you can greatly improve the win ratio by just using common sense 🙂
Increase your win rate to 79% with applied concepts
If you apply the concepts that I will teach you, then you can improve the win ratio from 57% to 79%. I will show you how you can use simple logic to achieve this. It is as simple as waiting for the traffic to allow you to cross the street.
The member of my Telegram group also conducted this analysis to see the improvement in the performance.
I will teach multiple strategies on how to select the best double top or bottom trading signals. By using this concept, the strategy quickly improved to 79%-win rate.
How is this performance increased possible? Read further! You can pick and choose from any of the concepts that I will explain below. It is best that you find one concept from the below which you are comfortable with and keep practicing it.
Strategies to select high probability trading signals!
Just like there are many ways to cross a street, I will also show you the different strategies you can use to trade only the high probability setups. I will explain these multiple strategies very briefly in this article, so you can get an understanding.
You do not have to use all the strategies mentioned. Just pick one that you line and you will automatically see an increase in your trading performance with a factor of 3!
Here are the strategies we use to get that winning edge:
Strategy #1: H4 Divergence for M30/H1 signals
Strategy #2: Trading signals directly at the trend line
Strategy #3: Trading signals when a trend line is broken
Strategy #4: M30/H1 Signals After Steeper Trend Lines
Strategy #1: H4 Divergence for M30/H1 signals
The first strategy is making use of divergence on the H4 chart to trade the double bottom and top pattern on the 30-minute or 1-hour chart.
The next screenshot gives an example of an effective trading set up. This is when a double top or a double bottom pattern is formed on the smaller time frame chart such as the M30 or H1 time frame.
We trade this pattern only when there is a MACD divergence on the H4 chart.
In the article, you will come across divergence analysis of over 34 instruments on the H4 time frame.
The screenshot shows how a double bottom can be traded within the bullish divergence of a MACD on the H4 chart. It is as simple as that!
The next chart shows a double top pattern that is formed within a bearish MACD divergence on the H4 chart.
Strategy #2: Trading signals directly at the trend line
A trend line is probably the most important tool you can use to gauge the trend of an instrument. Double top and double bottom patterns that form directly at the trend line and in the direction of the trend can greatly improve your probability of winning trades.
This is because the trend from the larger time frame carries the price away from the entry point as you use the smaller time frame to pinpoint the trade entry with precision.
We start with drawing trend lines on the H4 or the D1 chart time frames. This becomes your major reference point.
The chart below illustrates a double bottom pattern that appears directly near the trend line.
The next screenshot below shows a bearish double top pattern formed near the falling trend line.
Strategy #3: Trading signals when a trend line is broken
The next strategy is using the trading signals when a trend line is broken. Finding a double top or a double bottom pattern after a trend is broken is a great way to picking successful or high probability trades.
Finding the double top and bottom pattern after a trend line break can be compared to a football that is held under water. You know that the football wants to pop up above the water line. It is the same case with this strategy.
You can expect price to rapidly rise after the double top or bottom is formed when a trend line is broken. Price action is quite volatile here and this set up can give big results very quickly.
The screenshot above shows a double bottom pattern that is formed after a falling trend line broken. In the next screenshot below, you will see a double top pattern that is formed after a rising trend line is broken.
You can expect a big move once this pattern appears right after a major trend line break.
Strategy #4: M30/H1 Signals After Steeper Trend Lines
Trading with the steeper trend line set up is yet another way to capture the big move in price just before it happens.
In this strategy, we look at two trend lines. The first trend line is a major trend line and is often sloped at a 45-degree angle. This is the major trend line that is respected and can potentially signal a trend reversal if it is breached.
The second trend line or the steeper trend line is smaller in scope. At the same time, this second trend line is steeper compared to the first trend line. The second trend line can slope to an extent of 60 degrees if not more.
Between the two trend lines, there is a significant space. This space is your profit potential. The entry of the double top pattern (between the two rising trend lines) or the double bottom pattern (between the two falling trend lines) is the trigger for the trade.
The following screenshot shows such a steeper trend line setup:
Also, my trading system V-Power (a day trading system for trading reversals) can highly benefit from such steeper trend line setups.
Conclusion:
As you can see from the above, the presented “1+1 = 3” effect is a great way to increase the performance of your trading. This effect is universal in the financial markets and is not just limited to forex or futures.
In fact, this effect is not bound to the signals of just the double top or the double bottom indicator. For example, you could also use my MagicEntry-system (a momentum trading system) which will give you the same desired effect when you use the bigger picture to your advantage.
Make use of the “1+1 = 3” effect and see the results with your own eyes.
