How to Trade Wedges


I use wedges all the time. Wedges are basically channels – that's the easiest way to put it. A wedge is a channel where the lower trendline is present, but within the upward-sloping or downward-sloping channel, there's also a second trendline. Somewhere inside the channel, market prices start to take the asset you’re looking at parabolic in one direction. What I mean by that is a more aggressive trend starts to emerge inside the trend you’re already observing.

Wedges are trading channels either sloping upwards or downwards, but with one small difference from traditional channels. The key difference that makes them a wedge is that either their upper trendline or lower trendline converges with the opposite line within the channel.
