What is a Pullback?:

  • See the video for the background on pullbacks

Drill 1: Pullback Entries

Step 1: Arrows for Pullbacks

Instructions

  • Mark pullbacks
  • Sometimes a pullback turns into a spike

  • Sometimes its unclear so draw a trading range

Step #2: Pullbacks have trendlines

  • Now turn the arrows into 2 legged pullbacks by drawing the trendlines

Step #3: Look at how often with trend entries appear

  • Without marking the chart look at the entries that appear

Step#4: H1 H2, L1 L2 Entries

  • Now mark the entry bars for pullback one and two – H1 H2, L1 L2
  • Ignore buy the close and sell the close entries – so you only get filled if they trigger

  • Now which ones of them triggered which didnt?
  • How could you adjust your trading strategy and price action read to enter them in a safer way?

Drill 2: Review Pullbacks in Your Trades

Instructions

  • Look at your last weeks worth of trades
  • How often did you wait for:
    • Zero pullbacks?
    • 1 leg pullback?
    • 2 legged pullback?
  • Let me know in the comments!

Conclusion

  • This is a really great drill to find more reliable entries and not get sucked into a move thats ending.
  • Enjoy!
