Dangers to trading within a range-bound market.

Peter Brandt
  • Getting chopped up within the morph can make you gun shy when the real breakout occurs.
  • Range bound markets tend to force a chartist into violating his or her trading rules.
  • A compulsion for being pre-positioned for the “next” big breakout can result in a trading becoming obsessed with a market. This is never good. You should never feel as though you have to have a position or you will somehow miss a move.
  • Being obsessed with a particular market can cause you to miss good opportunities in other markets.
  • Being obsessed with a particular market can force you start monitor-watching. Monitor-watching will play on your emotions and force you out of good decision making skills.
