Trading Made Easy | Using 123 and 2b to Trade Profits

Hello fellow tigers! [Grin] The 2B and 123 trading strategies are classic chart patterns used by traders to identify potential trend reversals or continuations. These strategies are based on the principles of technical analysis and involve specific price patterns that suggest shifts in market sentiment.

Let's break down each strategy!

2B Trading Strategy

The 2B trading strategy is a reversal pattern that typically occurs after a market has been trending. It's based on the idea that a failed attempt to continue the prevailing trend signals a potential reversal in the opposite direction. The pattern is characterized by two main components, price trend and false breakout.

Price Trend: The market is in an established trend, either bullish or bearish.

False Breakout: The market attempts to make a new high (in an uptrend) or a new low (in a downtrend), but the move is quickly rejected, resulting in a reversal.

Steps to Identify a 2B Pattern:

Example

  1. Established Trend: Identify a clear and established trend in the market.

  2. Attempted Breakout: The market attempts to continue the trend by making a new high or low.

  3. Quick Reversal: The price fails to sustain the breakout and quickly reverses in the opposite direction, often closing below (in a bullish trend) or above (in a bearish trend) the previous breakout level.

  4. Confirmation: Many traders wait for additional confirmation signals, such as a candlestick pattern or a change in momentum, before entering a trade.

123 Trading Strategy

The 123 trading strategy, also known as the 1-2-3 reversal pattern, is another method for identifying potential trend reversals. This pattern is based on the concept that the market makes a series of higher highs and higher lows in an uptrend (or lower highs and lower lows in a downtrend) before reversing direction. The pattern consists of three main components, initial trend, aeries of highs and lows and reversal.

Initial Trend: The market is in an established trend.

Series of Highs and Lows: In an uptrend, the market forms higher highs and higher lows; in a downtrend, the market forms lower highs and lower lows.

Reversal: After the series of highs and lows, the market fails to continue the trend and reverses direction.

Steps to Identify a 123 Pattern:

Example

  1. Identify Trend: Determine the prevailing trend in the market.

  2. Series of Highs and Lows: Look for the market to form a sequence of higher highs and higher lows (in an uptrend) or lower highs and lower lows (in a downtrend).

  3. Confirmation of Reversal: The market fails to make a new high (in an uptrend) or new low (in a downtrend), and instead starts to reverse direction.

  4. Confirmation Signals: Traders often use additional technical indicators, candlestick patterns, or price action signals to confirm the reversal before entering a trade.

Conclusion:

Both the 2B and 123 trading strategies are tools in a trader's toolkit for identifying potential trend reversals. However, it's important to note that no strategy is foolproof, and trading involves risks. Traders should always use proper risk management techniques, consider multiple factors, and combine these patterns with other technical and fundamental analysis tools to make informed trading decisions. Additionally, practicing these strategies on historical data and in a demo environment can help traders gain familiarity and confidence in their application. [Smart]
