• Definition (s):

  
  Range I – A long-term enables the reversion strategy that is likely to go against the strong divergence from the pair’s average value. Generally it holds trades for an extended period of time and is one of the slowest moving trading strategies.
  Range II– Like Breakout 2 uses sentiment as a trading filter including the usage of the simple oscillator range trading strategy. Trading signals are taking into consideration if SSI is not located at highs. It is quite short-term in nature and expected to be traded for a short period of time during the strong trending movements. It is one of the most volatility-sensitive trading systems and appears to be of low profit during the periods of sharp currency moves.

• Observation (s):

  Please check out the market volatility before investing, because the sight price may has already been reached and scenarios invalidated.
