📈 Understanding Break of Structure 📈
In trading, we use the concept of “Break of Structure” to identify changes in market direction. Market structure can be upward with increasing lows and highs, or downward with decreasing lows and highs. 🔍 A break in structure can be referred to by different terms: - CHoCH (Change of Character) - BOS (break of market structure) For simplicity, we use CHoCH to denote a change in market character and BOS to confirm the structure. 📊 What does it mean? - CHoCH is a change in trend direction. - BOS is an update of the highs and lows. In uptrend we see an update of highs, in downtrend we see an update of lows. 🚨 How to trade a structure breakdown? 1. Identify the CHoCH on the chart. 2. Use the Fibonacci retracement grid: - For short positions: from swing high to swing low. - For long positions: from swing low to swing high. 3. Expect a correction in OTE (Optimal Trade Entry). 💼 In this area, look for additional factors (e.g. Smart Money Concept tools). Price always tends to OTE, ideally look for entry points in the 0.705-0.79 Fibonacci range. 💡 Understanding these principles will help you better navigate the market and make more informed trading decisions! #Education
