1: I mark my zones on the H1, also I put alerts before them, so when price entering the zones, I can watch it then. From that I usually watch H1, 5M and 15M to be sure it is behaving properly.
2: Exactly. I just noticed that not long ago, when I enter it is a lot of times at the top, and price turns around, and Iām in drawdown, sometimes even stops me out. What helped me with this is, I donāt try to call an AR the first 5M little, superthin area, where price stops after it bounces back. Let it play out, so the AR is obvious, maybe even on the 15M too. An obvious, proper bounce back is always safer. Then as it comes back, and gives another SOS or SOW in the range between the obvious AR and the first high volume point (read: it makes a higher low in a downtrend with proper volume, or makes a lower high in an uptrend with proper volume) then you can say, the price is entering into accumulation/distribution.
3: Personally I like ranges better than trends. Important thing what Rinehart (Spaulding) always hammers is, donāt take trades inside the range, for example drawing Fibo inside it. And never take trades inside tightening triangles. Always take them from the obvious support and resistance on the H1 for example, shorts from top resistance, longs from bottom support.
