Dealing Range
The active range between the swing low and swing high that price is currently trading within — the reference frame for equilibrium, discount/premium zoning, and internal/external liquidity.
What is a dealing range?
The dealing range is the market's current reference frame: the span from the significant swing low to the significant swing high within which price is transacting. Every positional concept — equilibrium, discount, premium, internal and external liquidity — is measured against it. Get the range wrong and every derived level is wrong with it.
A valid dealing range is anchored by structure: its extremes are the swings that produced (or absorbed) the latest structural break, typically the leg from a breaker's origin to the subsequent extreme. Ranges are fractal — a weekly dealing range contains multiple daily ranges — and each timeframe's range has its own EQ and liquidity map.
Working inside the range
Once the range is drawn, the playbook is mechanical: identify which half price occupies (discount or premium), map internal inefficiencies (FVGs, blocks) and external pools (beyond the extremes), and let higher-timeframe bias pick the direction. Bullish bias + discount + sweep of an internal low into a fresh zone = long toward the external buy-side. The range redraws when either extreme is broken with displacement — old external becomes new internal, and a fresh EQ takes over.
How Pushing Profits applies it
The platform computes breaker-anchored dealing ranges on the 24-hour, daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes and re-anchors them automatically when structure breaks. All EQ bounce signals, discount/premium gates, and range-extreme targets derive from these ranges — one consistent frame from the scanner to the Discord alerts.
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose the right swing points for the range?
Use the swings tied to the latest structural event: the low that launched the break of a prior high (bullish leg), or the high that launched the break of a prior low (bearish). Arbitrary lookbacks produce arbitrary equilibrium levels.
When does a dealing range change?
When an extreme is broken with displacement and a close beyond — genuine expansion. A wick through the extreme that closes back inside is a sweep and does NOT redraw the range; it usually strengthens it.
Can I trade when price is in the middle of the range?
Mid-range (near EQ) is where the EQ bounce setup lives — but only with confluence (sweep, rejection, FVG) and structure agreement. Without those, mid-range is the lowest-edge area on the chart: no discount, no premium, no external pool nearby.
