Higher Highs and Higher Lows Trading Strategy Cheat Sheet

Understanding Higher Highs and Higher Lows

  • Higher Highs: Each successive peak in the stock's price is higher than the previous peak.

  • Higher Lows: Each successive trough in the stock's price is higher than the previous trough.

  • This pattern indicates a potential uptrend or bullish momentum.

Identifying Higher Highs and Higher Lows

  • Use price charts to identify a series of Higher Highs and Higher Lows.

  • Mark the higher peak prices and higher trough prices on the chart.

  • Look for a clear upward-sloping trend line connecting the Higher Lows.

Entry Strategies

  • Look for pullbacks or retracements towards the upward-sloping trend line.

  • Consider entering a long position when the price bounces off the trend line or a Higher Low.

  • Use additional indicators like the Fluid Flow to confirm potential buy signals.

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 most recent Higher Low or trend line).

Risk Management

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

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

  • Avoid chasing the Higher Highs and Higher Lows pattern if it has already moved significantly.

Additional Considerations

  • Monitor the stock's behavior and overall market sentiment throughout the day.

  • Be aware of potential trend line breaks or failure to make new Higher Highs or Higher Lows.

  • Consider using additional technical analysis tools (e.g., support/resistance levels, volume analysis) to confirm the trend and identify potential entry/exit points.

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.
