Tandem IB Tightness Trading System
Complete System: (Screening-Entry-Exit)
"You dont rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems" ~ James Clear, Atomic habits
Today I am going to teach you a complete Trading System based on Tightness
“The Tandem IB system”
What is a complete system?
But before we dive right in.
Let us quickly discuss what is a complete trading system.
A complete Trading system is simply having an answer to each of the following 5 questions in this particular order:
Is this the right time to be in the market? (If so, how aggressive?)
If so, which are the stocks that I should focus on?
On those stocks, where should I enter?
How much should I buy and where should my Stoploss be?
And lastly, where should I exit the stock?
(I have a long and pending article going in-depth on this. I hope to finish that soon).
Now, with this primer on the system, let us discuss the Tandem IB Tightness Trading system in detail.
The Tandem IB (TIB) Tightness Trading System:
The setup is simple. I describe it below:
You will find this setup in Flags or on the right side of a Big Base.
A prior uptrend.
Stock is consolidating with volatility reducing and volume drying up on this consolidation.
Last 5 days tightness is less than 5%. Or
The recent IB range is below 3%, Or
The recent IB range is below ATR(10)
2 tandem inside bars appear in the consolidation/base i.e. 2 consecutive inside bars.
The inside bars should be a small range candle (below 5%).
Best if it is below 2-3%.
Entry Trigger: The price crossing above the recent Inside Bar high.
Additional conditions to improve the probability of setup working.
Stock has a high relative strength (>80 should be good).
Stock is from a high relative strength group.
Let’s complete the system:
Trade only when the Market is on an uptrend (Check Market Breadth for this).
Stock Selection basket: High RS stocks (Prior Uptrned and basing with volatility contraction)
Entry: Breakout of the tandem IB high.
SL goes ~0.5% below the low of the Inside bar.
Position size should not exceed your maximum risk (this is personal so I will not put a number here).
Exit: Sell into strength. Sell 50% when you have a 2R or more (2 times the risk). And trail the rest 50% using a trailing system. Supertrend 10/3 at a 25-minute timeframe is a good option, or use a trailing SL below the recent swing low in a 25-minute timeframe.
Thats it. That’s the TIB-Tightness Trading system for you.

Till now, we discussed the theory.
The real edge of any trader lies in his/her execution.
Flawless execution requires a meticulous organized system that can be repeated every day.
For example,
How would you enter?
Would you track the setups in real-time?
Or, would you use a GTT?
Would you buy when the price crosses the pivot or wait for a closing?
Questions like these and many more.
You have to find all these answers mate.
In case you missed it,
