Dan Passarelli's Red Green Knockout

Momentum Trading

Market Taker Mentoring, Inc. originally designed the Red Knockout (RKO) to be traded using long calls to take a position. However, we've found that debit call spreads and even buying the underlying stock / ETF (or other asset) could yield even better results under some circumstances. Similar results occurred with the Green Knockout (GKO) and short positions.

Time Frames

The Red and Green Knockouts work on any time frame. On daily charts, we generally look for the profit target to occur within ten days from the Red or Green Knock Out candle.

Red Knockouts

The first start of the setup is "The Green Run," which is three or more green, up-day candles (up from the open and up from yesterday's close). The Red Knockout candle must immediately follow the Green Run. The RKO has a more petite body than all the preceding green candles but trades down from the open that day (thus is red). The Trigger Candle follows the RKO and trades higher than the high of the RKO candle. Finally, the Confirmation Candle opens above the high of the RKO and signals trade entry.

From the end of the Green Run to the Confirmation Candle, each candle must follow sequentially, without any intervening candles.

Green Knockouts

The first start of the setup is "The Red Run," which is three or more red, down-day candles (down from the open and down from yesterday's close). The Green Knockout candle must immediately follow the Red Run. The GKO has a smaller body than all the preceding red candles but trades up from the open that day (thus is green). The Trigger Candle follows the GKO and trades lower than the low of the GKO candle. Finally, the Confirmation Candle opens below the low of the GKO and signals trade entry. From the end of the Red Run to the Confirmation Candle, each candle must follow sequentially, without any intervening candles.

The Red and Green Knockout patterns come with specific entry and exit conditions. This includes suggested options for purchasing options as well as stock, specific price targets, and stop losses.
