      • Narrow Range 4 (NR 4) & Narrow Range 7 (NR 7)
      • Using Narrow Range in StockEdge App:
      • NR 4 Breakout :
      • NR 4 Breakdown : 
      • NR 7 Breakout :
      • NR 7 Breakdown :

      Narrow Range trading strategy is a breakout-based method that assumes that the price of security trends up or down after a brief consolidation in a narrow range. The default lookback period of this strategy is 7 days which means that if the price range of any particular days is lowest as compared to last 7 days, then that day is termed as NR 7 day. Similarly, if the price range of any particular days is lowest as compared to the last 4 days, then that day is termed as NR 4 day.

      The day following NR 4/NR 7 day acts as a confirming factor on where the price will move further. Breakout of NR 7 candle with high volumes indicates bullishness, while the breakdown of NR 7 candle indicates bearishness. Observing this pattern gives day traders /swing traders a distinct edge to trade the next few days. It gives you a chance to be ahead of trade followers/indicator followers who will jump in the trend after you.

      The philosophy behind the pattern is to track volatility contraction which is often followed by a volatility expansion. Narrow range days mark price contractions that often precedes price expansions.

      Narrow Range 4 (NR 4) & Narrow Range 7 (NR 7)

      Narrow Range 4(NR 4) and Narrow Range 7 (NR 7) is a trading strategy that helps to track bullish and bearish stocks when the narrowest range (shortest candle) occurs, it is a sign that volatility has contracted and the stock is now ready for a break out on either side (up or down). Range means the difference between days high and days low. For example, if today’s high- today’s low is smallest of last 6 days high-low (range) today is NR 7 day and if we take this for 4 days, it’s NR 4 day when today’s range is smallest in last 4 days(including today).

      To trade with NR 4/NR 7 stocks, Mark high and low of NR 4/NR 7 days as resistance and support. If the stock breaks up or down the high or low of NR 4/NR 7 candles, Buy or sell accordingly. Stop loss will be the Low of NR 4/NR 7 candles when you buy and high of NR 4/NR 7 candle when you sell.
