What Is Monday's Range?

What you'll learn: The plain-English definition: box Monday's high and low, then watch what happens early in the week when price breaks one side and comes back.

Key Moments
Core Concepts
Critical Takeaways
  • Mark Monday's high and low. That's the box.
  • A break above + reclaim back inside = the high of the week is likely in.
  • A break below + reclaim back inside = the low of the week is likely in.
  • It's not 100%. It's a high-probability framing you stack with other reads.

The Setup: Bias, Entry, Stop

What you'll learn: The three things the range gives you - a bias, an entry trigger, and a stop - and where to put each one.

Key Moments
Critical Takeaways
  • Bias = whichever side the deviation happened on. Up first = short. Down first = long.
  • Entry = the candle that closes back inside the range.
  • Stop = the deviation extreme. Above the high for shorts, below the low for longs.
  • One setup per asset per week. Don't chase mid-range moves.

Applying It to a Breakout Eval

What you'll learn: A worked example on the Two-Step 100K: where the entry sits, where the stop goes, the dollar risk, and how the trade pays the Phase 1 target on its own.

Key Moments
Critical Takeaways
  • A worked example: short on the BTC reclaim, stop above the deviation, target Monday's low. Around 2.5% account risk for a 6-7% payoff.
  • The same setup printed across BTC, ETH, and SOL the same week. Diversify the play across majors.
  • If 2.5% feels heavy, size down to 1%. You won't pass on a single trade, but the weekly cadence adds up.
  • Phase 1 is $5K on a Two-Step 100K. One clean Monday's range trade gets you there.
Practical Tip

Use a Monday-range indicator on TradingView or draw the box manually each Tuesday morning. Set alerts at the high and the low so the setup tells you when it's live.

Putting It All Together

Your Weekly Setup

Run this every Tuesday morning. Most weeks one of the majors gives you the trade.

1

Mark Monday's range

Box Monday's high and low on BTC, ETH, and SOL. Three charts, two lines each.

2

Watch for the deviation

Early in the week, one side gets broken. That side is the trap.

3

Wait for the reclaim

Price closes back inside the range. That's the trigger.

4

Set entry, stop, target

Entry on the reclaim. Stop on the deviation extreme. Target the opposite side.

5

Size for 1-2%

Risk no more than 2% on a single Monday's range trade.

6

Take the next major

If the play set up on BTC, check ETH and SOL. Same shape often repeats.

7
