Volatility Contraction Trading Playbook

Quality Before Direction

Setup quality combines BB and true-range compression, consecutive tight bars, progressive range contraction, and volume dry-up.

Read the State

Watchlist is still developing, Ready is near a valid pivot, Triggered has participation, and Unconfirmed needs patience.

Structural Triggers

Breakout levels come from the prior base—not Bollinger bands—and confirmed triggers require relative volume plus a strong close.

Read the Levels

Compare the trigger, recent-swing invalid level, model level, liquidity test, and risk range.

Volatility contraction and squeeze screener

The Volatility Contraction Screener looks for narrowing price ranges and compression in the available volatility measures. It helps locate relatively quiet stocks for a watchlist before any expansion is confirmed.

Compare the compression with its historical baseline, trend and volume, then wait for price evidence before assigning direction. A contraction can persist or resolve either way. Small ranges in thinly traded stocks may reflect limited liquidity rather than a meaningful squeeze.
