$BTC How I trade ranges.



BTC is currently trading within a perfect range to explain how I find scalps in market conditions like this.

First, I use the Fixed Range Volume Profile to mark the entire range. It’s important that the volume profile is D-shaped, confirming that market participants are in equilibrium.

Only then do I look for trades.

Whenever price moves outside the value area, I look for opportunities on the lower timeframes to trade the reversal back into the value area. For entries, I use a combination of order flow and S/R levels.

As a minimum target, I always use the POC. As a maximum target, I use the opposite Value Area extreme.

Of course, this is a very simplified explanation and the strategy involves much more, but it’s a good starting point that you can use to develop your own setups.

Fixed Range Volume Profile marks the entire range. This tool is amazing to use. After confirming equilibrium, then take action—patience pays.

POC doing the minimum target is quite a stable approach, and the reverse extreme take-profit is also reasonable, but actual slippage can be annoying sometimes.

The D-shaped distribution confirms the market is in balance—this is a trick I’ve learned. I used to always rush into the trade, and then I kept getting swept out by false breakouts.

Easier said than done. In extreme market conditions, this strategy fails in minutes. Risk control details are the key.

Order flow + S/R double confirmation, this combo is indeed much more reliable than just looking at candlestick charts in a ranging market.
