Module 3 — Price behaviour

Extension: when a move is already stretched

6 minute read

In plain English

Extension measures how far price has travelled from its session average. A very extended stock has already made its move.

Why it matters

Most painful beginner losses come from buying something after it has already run.

Example

A stock 25% above VWAP is one where the average buyer today is deeply in profit and may take it.

Try this

When the Radar marks a pulse as Extended, write down what a sensible invalidation price would be before doing anything.

Common mistake

Confusing a big move with a big opportunity.

What this does not mean

Extended does not mean it will reverse. It means the risk profile has changed.
