Change of Character (CHoCH) Trading Strategy Cheat Sheet

Understanding Change of Character (CHoCH)

  • CHoCH refers to a price action pattern where the character or behavior of a stock's price movement changes significantly.

  • It signals a potential trend change or continuation.

Identifying CHoCH Setups

  • Look for a sudden change in the character of price action, such as:

    • A sharp increase or decrease in volatility.

    • A change in the momentum or pace of the trend.

Entry Strategies

  • Bullish CHoCH (Upside Continuation or Reversal):

    • Look for a sudden increase in bullish momentum or volatility.

    • Consider entering a long position when the price confirms the new bullish character.

Bearish CHoCH (Downside Continuation or Reversal):

  • Look for a sudden increase in bearish momentum or volatility.

  • Consider entering a short position when the price confirms the new bearish character.

Exit Strategies

  • Set a target profit level (e.g., 1-2 times the risk) and exit at least a portion of your position.

  • Use a stop-loss order to limit potential losses (e.g., below the entry level for long trades, above the entry level for short trades).

Risk Management

  • Start with small position sizes (e.g., 1-2% of your account per trade).

  • Use stop-loss orders to protect against false signals or reversals.

Remember, trading involves risk, and it's essential to practice with a paper trading account before risking real capital. Always start small and gradually increase your position sizes as you gain experience and confidence in your trading strategy.
