Why a possible entry either Long or Short?

Chaos trading is a trend trading approach that always aims to go with the flow of the market. Right now it is not clear which way the market will decide to go when it re-opens on Sunday evening. Hence I am highlighting where and at what level I would choose to go either Long or Short, for the reasons stated above.

Potential exit points shown are based on a trailing stop loss, and assumes this single trade.

In practice, if the trend develops in either direction, there will be clear opportunities to add additional trades to capitalise on the trend, and increase profits, in line with the Williams’ Trading Chaos theory.
