What is Momentum and Exhaustion?
Momentum traders bet that an asset price that is moving strongly in a given direction will continue to move in that direction until the trend loses strength.
Source: FXCM.com
Exhaustion is a situation in which a majority of participants trading in the same asset are either long or short, leaving few investors to take the other side of the transaction when participants wish to close their positions. For example, if everyone has already bought, when those people want to sell there will be no more buyers to sell to which will cause the price to fall.

Can I simply buy or sell the close of every momentum bar or signal?
- this largely depends on context, trading style and stop loss (risk), also on your ability to scale in and the use of wide or swing stops (below the last higher low or above the last lower high in a trend).
- for higher probability, wait for a pullback and enter on a with trend bar (e.g. with a bar stop) and an initial risk/reward of at least 1 (IR/R=1)
- advanced traders can buy below the prior bar (in a bull) or sell above the prior bar (in a bear), if that is a with trend bar
- the ability to scale in and use a swing stop greatly increases the probability of a successful trade
- also look for confluence of multiple Buying Pressure / Selling Pressure signals and with other indicators or Support / Resistance
- keep in mind, that faders often enter on large momentum trend bars and trade counter to the direction of the bar, they usually apply a scale-in approach to increase their probability
Can I simply buy or sell the close of every exhaustion bar or signal?
- this largely depends on context, trading style and stop loss (risk), also on your ability to scale in and the use of wide or swing stops (below the last higher low or above the last lower high in a trend)
- to increase the probability of a successful counter trend trade you can wait for a strong Reversal Signal Bar after a couple of pushes at support or resistance and trade the breakout of that with a stop entry
- in a pullback in a trend it’s reasonable to buy/sell closes to enter with trend
- advanced traders can buy below or sell above (and scale in) swings created by exhaustion
- also look for confluence of multiple Buying Pressure / Selling Pressure signals and with other indicators or support/resistance
