Why I Avoid Entering in the Middle of a Range

The middle of a trading range can be an uncomfortable place to enter.

When NQ is moving sideways, the edges of the range can provide clearer reference points for studying potential rejection or breakout behavior.

The middle often offers less obvious invalidation and reward-to-risk opportunities.

That doesn't mean every trade in the middle is bad.

It means the location may provide less useful context than a clearly defined range boundary.

Before entering, I ask whether the setup has enough room to reach its target and whether the stop makes sense.

A trading range should help structure decisions, not encourage me to trade every small movement inside it.
