What is the Confluence Trading Strategy?
The Confluence Trading Strategy aligns multiple indicators to identify and confirm high-probability trades. It helps traders:
- Spot momentum early.
- Avoid false signals.
- Improve entries and exits.
- Manage trades effectively.
This versatile strategy works across Forex, futures, and commodities.
Key Components
1. xBrat Range Breakout
Defines key opening ranges in major sessions like the New York Stock Exchange or European market open. Traders use it to:
- Identify continuation trades.
- Spot reversals during key events.
Example: The GBP/JPY Asian session showed an upward breakout, while the European open reversed for a high-probability short trade.
2. The VWAP Predator
A momentum tool using VWAP and extensions for buy/sell signals:
- Buy signal: Price closes above VWAP with volume.
- Sell signal: Price closes below VWAP.
Example: A buy signal during the Asian session marked the start of a strong upward move.
3. The xBrat Algo
Provides graded signals (3-star to 6-star):
- 3-Star Signal: 9 out of 12 decision points met.
- 4-Star Signal: 10 out of 12 decision points met.
- 5-Star Signal: 11 out of 12 decision points met.
- 6-Star Signal: 12 out of 12 decision points met.
Tip: Use The Bias Depth Heatmap with 3-6 star signals for Signal and Confirmation.
4. Bias Depth Heatmap
Shows sentiment across multiple timeframes, with green for bullish, red for bearish and yellow fir neutral conditions.
Example: The GBP/JPY heatmap turned fully green after a 6-star signal, confirming the setup.
5. Manager Tool
Helps manage trades with:
- Cyan Dot Above a Candle: Indicates higher-than-average volume. This shows strong momentum in the direction of the candle (e.g., strong selling if the candle is red, strong buying if it’s green).
- Blue Dot Below a Candle: Indicates lower-than-average volume. This suggests weak momentum in the direction of the candle, meaning there isn’t much strength behind the current move.
- Ribbon Changes: A red ribbon indicates conservative exits.
Tip: Use the Manager Tool to stay in trades longer when volume is below average.
Combining the Tools
