Range Trading

What is the definition of Range Trading?
Range trading is a style of trading where a trader buys a currency pair when its price is close to support levels and sells a currency pair at close to resistance levels.
TradersLaboratory decodes Range Trading
Range trading is based on the fact that prices form channels independent of whether prices are trending upwards or downwards or sideways. It assumes that 80% of the time, the candlesticks will bounce up from lower channel trendlines and retreat from upper channel trend lines. By selling at resistance and buying at support levels, a trader may be able to profit from these moves in the market. Pivot points also form a basis of horizontal range trading, as opposed to use of ascending channels for uptrend range trading and descending channels for downtrend range trading.
