Practical Trading Procedures
1. Spot strategy: keep holding the low-level allocation. 4-hour low-volume range consolidation is normal for clearing; after high leverage is washed out, the structure is healthier. Do not cut at the lows.
2. Futures strategy: refuse to blindly bet on direction from the mid-point at $2,425. It’s recommended to wait for a pullback to $2,380–$2,410, then buy on the low after volume fades and downside selling stops, or wait until the 4-hour real body expands in volume and stabilizes above $2,480 before following up on the right side.
