Pre Market Levels are CRITICAL in Day Trading 10X Gains For MeCME_MINI:ES1! AMEX:SPY NASDAQ:QQQ CME_MINI:NQ1! NASDAQ:TSLA
I wanted to share a basic strategy I've been using that has helped me increase my profitability almost 10X
Most people don't know that when the regular trading hours (RTH) markets are closed, the futures markets are running
Generally overnight action during the pre market will set a clear high and a clear low. Those key pivots are hidden support and resistance that you WILL NOT see on the normal chart.
Strategy
1 - Draw the Pre Market High/Low
2 - Use the Fibonacci tool in the direction of the overnight action either Bullish or Bearish
3 - Use the 0.618 Level as the KEY Algo level where you BUY THE DIP or SELL THE RIP
4 - Rinse and repeat - Always have a stop loss at the last major pivot and scale out profits over 25%

🟢Support🟢 & 🔴Resistance🔴 in TradingView Land !!!👨🏫Hello, guys🤪; I'm Pejman, and today we will change the regular TradingView to TradingView Disneyland🎡 . I want to tell the story of Snow White and the trader dwarfs.
Once upon a time🌞, in the kingdom👑 of Stocktopia, there was a young princess👰♂️ named Snow White Charts. She was the heir to the realm of Stocktopia. Still, unlike her father, the King of Stocktopia, a successful businessman🧔, Princess needed help understanding the stock market. She often lost money💸.
One day, while walking in the forest🌿🌲, Princess Snow White Charts stumbled upon an old house called Dwarf traders. She became curious and decided to visit this house🏠.
Dwarves lived in this house🏠 whose job was to help the traders. They directed the price of different stocks by creating support and resistance lines or zones, and each dwarf was responsible for one of them.
The Princess did not know anything about these lines. So she decided to stay to learn about these powerful lines.
One of these dwarves, named Doc, looked older and wiser than the other dwarves. The Princess enlisted the help of Doc to learn how these lines worked.
Doc was proficient in various methods of technical analysis and had an exceptional talent for simplifying complex issues😝. So he tried to teach these lines to the Princess👰♂️ in the simplest and best way possible.
If you also want to master technical analysis like Doc before learning support and resistance lines/zones, read the following post to learn what technical analysis is. 🤓👇
Doc showed the following picture to the Princess.
Can you tell what the role of support lines is before reading Doc's explanation❓👇
As you can see in the picture, the candles are placed in a downward trend, and they go down🔴 like playful children🧒🧒 playing on the slide.
Doc explained that support lines are like a bouncy castle🕍 for price. When the candles reach these Lines, they'll push them up just like a trampoline; the price will grow.
Remember that they prevent the price from moving too far down or falling.😅 The candles are safe on the support lines, so Sleepy sleeps peacefully.
Doc believes that when a stock's price hits support lines, it can indicate a potential buying opportunity. Still, when it breaks down🔴 the support line, it can show a possible selling opportunity; but I will discuss this in the following.
Now you may ask, what are resistance lines❓ The exact same question came up for Princess Snow White Charts😁.
First, look at the chart below.👇
Resistance lines are like the roof of a bouncy castle. In an uptrend🟢, when the candles are happy and constantly jumping higher and higher, the resistance lines prevent them from going further.
The resistance line is guarded by Goupy, who pushes the candles down🔴 like a bully, whenever the candles hit the resistance line.
Let's suppose all these price lines & dwarfs want to lead candles in a particular direction.
Now that you are familiar with support and resistance lines, you might have the same question as Princess👰♂️had again. How to recognize and find these lines❓
According to Doc, there are several ways to find these lines:
Past Price Data:
Sir John says: "Price data is like a roadmap, showing you where the market has been and where it might be heading."
Looking at past price data is like checking the tracks of a criminal. It may be seen, but it is simply not correct. You can know how he behaved in the past because he may repeat the same behavior in the future.
So, to better understand the price, you must also know its past. Even Philip Fisher also believes that: "Price data is the lens through which we can see the market's true nature."
Previous Lines:
By finding previous support and resistance lines, it's as if you've found a criminal's 🔫 recorded files.
Price data is the story of the market, and those who ignore it are doomed to repeat their mistakes. You can't predict the future without understanding the past, and the market's past performance is the best indicator of its future performance.
Wow, speak of the devil🤐, I forgot that indicators also have important points to say too.
Indicators:
Maybe price data is like a roadmap🚨 or past lines like a criminal recorded file. But indicators are like GPS.
Indicators are the GPS of the financial markets, and they guide us to our destination and help us avoid getting lost.
Indicators are the financial markets' fingerprints, revealing the underlying patterns and trends.
Doc and I found some indicators helpful in identifying supply(resistance) and demand(support) zones, such as:
Moving Average/Parabolic SAR/Bollinger Bands/Ichimoku Kinko Hyo/Fibonacci/Pivot point
There are many ways to recognize these lines and even indicators that help you find them like an assistant, but you should still try to know and learn them yourself.
For example, Doc says there are additional support and resistance lines. Like the slides in the game, they can be straight or sloping, going up🟢 or down🔴. I'm kidding, but they really have these types 🙂.
In the previous pictures, I showed you only static lines. Now, look at the pictures below because I will show you all the types of these lines with examples.
For example, if the support and resistance lines are like a road🛣 on the ground, they are called static support and resistance lines .
Now, what if this road turns into steep ropes❓ Well, it is known that they are called dynamic support and resistance lines .
For example, if you want to go mountain🗻 climbing, it is as if you are climbing with dynamic support. In general, in an upward🟢 trend, dynamic support lines like a ramp🚧 prevent the price from falling.
Now that we are talking about climbing let's introduce another game🎲. The zipline🤐😄.
The price decreases from the dynamic resistance lines like a zipline in downward🔴 trends. 😄
I must say that theoretically, the price will go down after hitting the dynamic resistance lines and these lines prevent price growth🟢.
Dynamic resistance or support is also called a trend line. Trendlines are helpful in many parts of technical analysis, such as classical patterns.
Just take a look at the below post. You will find that trend lines help us effectively identify these patterns or trade with them. That's how I am! COOL!😎😎.👇
Don't worry and don't rush because, as said: Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.
Soon I will teach all these patterns in future posts, but we have to go step by step together.😎😎😎
But I must add that the price is also very playful😛. The price may cross these lines, be above the resistance or below the support, and escape from them.
"If price can make a credible breakout, this could be a good place to trade and make some sweet dollars," Doc whispered to Princess Snow White Charts.
What is a valid breakout❗️❓
This was the question that arose in the Princess's 👰 mind, and I think it is your question as well.
Imagine that the resistance line is like a prison that confines the candles. A diligent & playful candle needs the support of buyers to escape from this prison. If the buyers support it, it can get out of this prison.
After escaping the breakout candle, if another candle, called the confirmation, escapes from this prison and jumps above the breakout candle, the way will be clear for other prisoners, and they can run. So a valid breakout will happen.
A valid breakout is created with a strong candle called a breakout candle(such as the Marubozu candle); after that, a candle as a confirmation candle will confirm this breakout.
Don't worry about selling below the Support line or buying above the resistance line. If a valid breakout has occurred, the target stock will decrease/rise further, and the trend will not stop or end anytime soon.
Let's walk through an example of a valid breakout with Doc.
As you can see, the price broke this line with a strong candle and made a confirmation candle. As a result, we consider this a valid breakout.
If you have noticed, finally, the price went back to this line to greet the previous line. This movement is called Pullback .
In general, to say that a breakout is valid, there are several conditions:
Preferably, the breakout candle and the confirmation candle are the same color.
The point where the breakout candle closes must be above resistance or below support.
The breakout must have happened with the body of a candle, not with the candle's shadow.
Even the closing point of the confirmation candle should be above the resistance breakout candle or below the support breakout candle.
But I should mention that the trading volume increases when a valid breakout occurs.
Now that you know a valid breakout, we can also check an invalid breakout, so dive down🔴 to the chart below.
As you can see, the price tries to be playful😜😜 and break the support line. But there are no buyers to support the price for this movement, so this breakout will be temporary and short-lived.
The price will soon return below the Support line. The invalid breakouts are sometimes known as bull traps or bear traps which I will explain in future posts.
I advise you to only sometimes look for a straight line for support or resistance.
I use support and resistance lines in my analysis to draw trend lines. But when I want to determine the support and resistance of a currency, I draw them as support and resistance zones.
Using zones makes you no longer involved in each line's small & fake breaks, and you won't make mistakes with each break.
Now that you have learned almost everything about these lines😎😎, it's time to start fishing and apply these tips to real trades.
I have considered all the necessary items for trading with these lines in the chart below. You might understand the reason for trading by looking at the picture before reading the description.
( The First Method )
The picture shows the price below this resistance zone, and they tried to escape several times.
Still, finally, when the trading volume and the number of buyers increased, it could cross its resistance zone with a strong candle(breakout candle), and then the confirmation candle formed.
Now, as traders, we should place our Entry Point(EP) slightly higher than the confirmation candle. And also, be careful;😱 maybe this break is invalid, or it returns below its resistance. So we place our Stop Loss(SL) a little lower than the breakout candle.
Now, look at this chart again. But I am going to teach you another method for trading.
( The Second Method )
You should only sometimes enter into a position at one point.
For example, when the price returns to its resistance to greet(Pullback), it's a good time to divide your money into two parts & re-enter the position.
With this, your average Entry Point will be lower, and the Risk/Reward(RR) ratio will increase.
( I know that the Risk/Reward(RR) is something that some of you are unfamiliar with, so don't worry cause I'm going to talk about it in future posts.)
There is another way to trade with these lines.
(The Third Method)
You've got another way to trade with two Entry Points. You can enter the position when the pullback accrues; the other entry point is a little higher than the highest price before the pullback.
In this method, you will be more confident about the position, but at the same time, the Risk/Reward (RR) is decreased compared to the previously mentioned methods. The Stop Loss is the same as the others.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prince Snow White Charts learned all these tricks along with Doc and the other Dwarves.
Excited to try this new knowledge, he immediately returned to Stocktopia😊and applied what he had learned to his trading. To his surprise, his trades became more profitable.
The king was pleased with his daughter's improvement, & these lessons were taught to all the traders in the kingdom👑 of Stocktopia.
From that day, Stocktopia was known as the kingdom with the most successful traders, thanks to the wisdom of Doc and Princess Snow White Charts.😊😊
Stocktopia's traders lived happily ever after, thanks to the protection and guidance provided by the Seven Dwarfs of Support.😇😇
I hope you enjoyed this story and use support and resistance lines/zones in your trading. But never forget that before using any new method, try it several times to master that method.😎😎😎.
Now let's leave the world of stories and return to the real world of traders. Take advantage of the following posts.
In the end, I wish you health and success.
Pure trendline breakout strategy; Manticore Investems
Pure trendline break strategy is based on indicators:
Tradelines with Breaks (FREE) - TwB
Position entry signals, trendline breakout. We look for signals on the ~h4 interval.
We take a position on lower intervals when we see entry signals there as well.
Order block Detector (FREE) - ObD
Generates us support and resistance for the price (red - sell, green - buy)
Pivot Based Trailing Maxima & Minima (FREE) - Pbt
Helps determine the current trend of the market on a given interval, serves as an add-on
informing us about market trends. In the green zone - buy, red - sell.
SuperOSC (FREE) - sOSC
Informs us about the strength of the market at a given moment (on a specific candle)
In addition:
LuxAlgo Price Action Concept (PREMIUM).
Strategy description:
Basically we trade after large signals generated on h4/d1 intervals.
When we take a position we look for the optimal place to enter from m15-h1.
We use resistances and supports as SL/TPs.
Trading style: scalping / daytrading.
Ideal entry setup:
1) Signal generated on the h4/d1 TwB interval.
2) ObD secure our position / ObD do not interfere with a potential sell or buy
3) The trend set by Pbt agrees with the direction we are playing. (Green zone - buy / Red zone - sell).
4) The candle after which we enter is not drawn on the sOSC
Examples below:
H4 interval buy signal:
1) Pbt - Green buy zone
2) TwB - upward signal
3) sOSC - the candle that generated the buy signal did not cross the dashed lines
When we take a position we go down to lower intervals to best estimate SL:TP
H1 interval:
H1 interval buy signal:
1) Pbt - Green buy zone
2) TwB - upward signal
3) sOSC - the candle that generated the buy signal did not cross the dashed lines
Estimation of risk and timing of exit:
Risk estimation:
1) We use ObD to determine the optimal risk, they serve as resistance to the price.
2) We set positions below the buy / sell zones from Pbt
3) We go to lower intervals, set SL under the TwB level of the opposite trendline
Determining take profit:
1) We play out positions to supports or resistances generated by ObD
2) We close the position when we see that after the close of the h4/h1 candle the sOSC is drawn above or below the dashed line
3) We can close positions when we see that the movement is losing strength and there are opposition signals to our position on low intervals.
It works best to close positions after reaching ObD supports/resistances in conjunction with a drawn-out sOSC.
LuxAlgo Price Action Concept indicator (PREMIUM), serves as an aid in determining the strength of a given support or resistance (the higher the %, the stronger the resistance)
✅ 4 Methods to Confirm EntriesYou should make sure that your reward is bigger than your risk.
It is up to you what your optimal risk to reward should be – ideally you should have a risk to reward of 1:2 or 1:3.
✔️Trendline Reversal & Break
The trader should constantly monitor both the support and resistance trendlines and redraw them as the old ones break and new ones form.
When an intersection of the projections happens, one of the trendlines must be broken and the other will most likely continue to hold the price.
We trade in the direction of the trendline that remained unbroken with potential entries at the trendline breaks.
✔️Support & Resistance
Look at the price chart and observe the support and resistance levels that you have drawn on the charts.
You will look to place sell orders at the resistance levels and buy orders at the support levels.
Stop loss below the support level or above the resistance level depending the call you’re on.
✔️Fibonacci Retracement
Fibonacci retracement levels connect any two points that the trader views as relevant, typically a high point and a low point.
The percentage levels provided are areas where the price could stall or reverse. These levels should not be relied on exclusively,
so it is dangerous to assume that the price will reverse after hitting a specific Fibonacci level.
✔️Consolidations
A price consolidation is a period when the price is moving sideways without any significant advancement in the upward or downward direction. A price consolidation can take any form.
It could be a rectangular pattern (often called a range), any of the different types of triangle patterns, a rising or falling wedge, a pennant, or a flag.
Depending the pattern that takes place, you’re gonna look for entries and stop loss bellow pattern’s invalidation.

Wyckoff Phases in PracticeWe all know that market moves in Phases. The four most popular phases are –
1️⃣Accumulation
2️⃣Markup
3️⃣Distribution and
4️⃣Markdown
Mr. Wyckoff analyzed these phases further, esp . Accumulation and Distribution, to understand the price behavior for potential opportunities to trade/invest in the market.
In this tutorial I am going to have a brief discussion about Accumulation-sub-phases of the market with the help of an example that I came across today.
✅Phase A
🚩This phase is preceded by a major downtrend.
🚩Begins with a selling climax ( SC ) - Large down bars with abnormally high volume (see B).
🚩SC is followed by the largest rally in the major downtrend, associated with good buying volume . This Automatic Rally (AR) represents the change in character (ChoC) of the market - buyers taking over.
🚩Market retest the level B with a lower volume (supply) – Secondary Test (see D).
✅Phase B
🚩Usually the longest phase.
🚩Higher volume during rallies (eg. E) and lesser during retracements.
🚩Even if volume is high during retracements, price fails to make new lows.
🚩More secondary tests (see F) held at the support zone (B and D).
🚩Market consolidates testing supply and demand with no particular direction – Consolidation.
✅Phase C
🚩This phase is the smallest but the most important.
🚩Usually ends with a Spring (not in the above case).
🚩You would often see final shakeout of weak buyers in this phase. Price would dip underneath the support zone (B, D and F) and reverse sharply back above support.
🚩Perhaps the best time to enter for those who like to take low risk high probability trades.
🚩In the above case, point G was just another test of support Zone.
✅Phase D
🚩You would see swift action in this phase. Wide up bars (with high volume ) and small down bars (with low volume ) -Sign of Strength.
🚩This also represents the change in character, which now differs from the consolidation phase.
🚩ChoCh - Notice two blue rectangles and the price action in them. The action differs vehemently from the previous phases - wide bars with ease of movement.
🚩Price breaks the resistance zone (in most cases resistance would be the high of automatic rally).
🚩It again retests (after breakout) this resistance which now starts acting as support. This is called the Backup action.
🚩Further (re)accumulation can be seen here in many cases.
🚩This is perhaps the best time for those who like to enter after confirmation (A higher high; break of resistance; price jumping outside the range)
✅Phase E
🚀Accumulation is over and a trend is established - Markup phase
Not all bear markets end up with these accumulation-sub-phases. You may often see V-shaped recoveries just like what we experienced after March 2020 lows. But you will surely find some stocks or markets that moved in line with Wyckoff phases.

Finding support and resistance zonesSupport and resistance levels are key concepts in technical analysis, which is a method of forecasting the direction of prices through the study of past market data, including price and volume. These levels are considered to be key points at which the price of a security is likely to either find support and be unable to fall further, or encounter resistance and be unable to rise further.
Support and resistance levels are often based on historical data and the past behavior of market participants. For example, if a stock has consistently found support at a certain price level in the past, technical analysts would consider that level to be a key support level. Similarly, if a stock has consistently encountered resistance at a certain price level, that level would be considered a key resistance level.
Support and resistance levels can be identified by looking at a stock's price chart, which plots the price of the stock over time. When the price of a stock is trending upwards, the support levels are typically found below the current price, and the resistance levels are found above the current price. Conversely, when the price of a stock is trending downwards, the support levels are typically found above the current price, and the resistance levels are found below the current price.
Traders and investors often use support and resistance levels to make buy and sell decisions. For example, if a stock is approaching a key support level, an investor might consider buying the stock in anticipation that it will find support at that level and be unable to fall further. Similarly, if a stock is approaching a key resistance level, an investor might consider selling the stock in anticipation that it will encounter resistance at that level and be unable to rise further.
Because the stock market operates on a schedule, with trading taking place during specific hours of the day, it is natural for support and resistance levels to also be centered around certain times of the day. For example, if a stock has consistently found support at a certain price level during the early morning hours, that level would be considered a key support level during that time of day.
In conclusion, support and resistance levels are key levels at which the price of a security is likely to either find support and be unable to fall further, or encounter resistance and be unable to rise further. These levels are often based on historical data and the past behavior of market participants, and are commonly used by traders and investors to make buy and sell decisions. Because the stock market operates on a schedule, support and resistance levels are often centered around certain times of the day.
How to Study Price and Wave volume RelationshipHi 👋
In this post I would try to throw some light on the Price & Wave Volume relationship (popularized by late David Weis).
This method may help trades in two ways:
1️⃣Ride the trend
2️⃣Picking the end of a rally
I came across this chart randomly and found that there are a few principles that I can discuss with the help of this chart.
Before reading any further I want to disclose that this technique was not originally developed by me. However, different authors may have different interpretations when it comes to some techniques of discretionary trading. This is a small piece of what I have learnt as a big follower of price action trading.
I don’t want to go for bar by bar analysis here due to time and space constraints, so I have marked a few important places (as numbers in green rectangles) that are important and need to be discussed.
The numbers in white are the cumulative wave volume in crores. This means just keep on adding the volume of each up bar until there is a reversal. I have taken the reversal a 2points on closing basis. Which means I keep on adding the volume until the price closes 2points below the close of the previous bar. The opposite is true for down waves.
🚀Point1
If you look at the upwave preceding the downwave at point1, it is the sharpest of the rallies from March 2020 lows (scroll back the chart a bit). Also wave volume is the highest (37cr) compared to 10,19 and 18cr on previous upwaves.
At point 1 there is 10cr volume on the downwave, which is the highest on any downwave in the rally from Mar2020 lows. This is an alarming signal that sellers are getting active. But this may not impress us to liquidate our trades as we need further evidence to confirm this weakness.
🚀Point2
Here we have very high volume accompanied by the widest bar (in the rally) but closing in the middle. These three things confirm here that sellers have stepped in and the stock is weakening.
🚀Point3
There is a rally back to the highs but this time with lesser volume (29cr compared to 37cr) than preceding rallies. This is our second confirmation that buyers are turning there back at this level, at least for now. This is a sure exit opportunity for investors who bought at the lows.
🚀Point4
There was a sharp reaction with huge volume of 31cr and very wide bar, closing off of its lows. At this point there is still confusion that the trend has reversed or not. If it was a reversal then there would have been a follow through of 31cr volume on the downside but it is not so. For the next 3 days price sustained above the low of this wide downbar.
🚀Point5
The sellers again tried to push to the stock down but look at the volume in this wave. Are you getting it now? Its just 13cr instead of 31cr on the last downwave. This infers here that seller are not interested. So if seller are not interested then what will happen? Buyers will take over.
🚀Point6
The sellers tested the level of 1, 4 and 5 a few more times, buyers holds it and that develops a support. There was a very strong rally (compared to rallies in the last one year) back to the highs and volume is again 23cr which is lesser than volume at previous highs.
Lesser volume could have 2 interpretations – there are less sellers this time and/or buyers are not interested.
🚀Point7
The stock is back to the support again. But volume on downwaves is much lesser in relative terms. In fact, it decreasing from 13 to 4 and then 2cr (see chart). Where have the sellers gone? They don’t want to sell at the support.
🚀Point8
Lack of selling leads to buying and eventually to new highs. Notice that there in very less volume at point 8 (only 4cr). This time sellers attempt (5cr) was failed quickly (without hitting support) and new highs were made outside resistance (developed at 2, 3 and 6).
At this stage, when the price is closing outside the resistance, I would expect more volume to come in. More volume at this stage would indicate that buyers are interested but that is not the case here.
🚀Point9
Point 8 looked like a failed breakout attempt. The price fell back into the trading range (between support and resistance ). If I look at volume here, it is 15cr on this downwave. In the immediately preceding fall with 17cr it touched the bottom end of the range but this time with 15cr it is just at the middle of the range. This signifies re-accumulation at point 9.
🚀Point10
Re-accumulation lead to a rally back into resistance. We have 13cr as of now. Its too early to say, before this upwave ends, but 13cr is less (for me at this point) to push it any further. It seems holding back in the range.
🚀🚀Final thoughts
This is a very nice and rare example showing both distribution (by the seller at resistance level ) and accumulation (by the buyers at support level ). Normally the price peeps outside the range on both sides and fails to follow through, until there is a decisive break on either side.
I hope you learnt something new in this post.
Now you can do one thing, press 🚀 to encourage me to write more educational stuff.
Thanks for reading.
Patience is key - This video is to help a fellow trader on TVI can't say it enough that patience is key. I got a lot of messages over the past evening from fellow traders who are attempting to use strategies that they find or strategies that they are trying to develop and they're using the oscillator which I've created.
Here is a link to it (click the image)
One particular treasure found me on another community and wanted to be able to get in touch with me here on tradingview and as a result he sent me a message along with a bunch of screenshots. One of the messages described everything for me and in that moment I knew exactly what he was doing wrong and I was under the impression that he's simply entering way too early. sure enough I looked at the images and the screenshots that he sent and it played out exactly what I thought was going on. His entries are way too early.
This brings up my key topic that patience is key.
also you should always be setting your support and resistance levels because you don't really want to trade Beyond them. If you do not have them set up, if you do not have trendlines setup then you are simply trading to a blind area of a price point and you're just hoping that it's going to get there.
to be honest with you the market is always hoping that you did not do your technical analysis and that you are going to fail. So in this video you can see how I am giving a breakdown of what this traitor did right and what he did wrong.
So @harry_hunter on tradingview this is for you
A little peek into how I catch sniper trades with zero drawdownSorry guys, I didn't post today, but caught a cracker gold sell. I would like to give a small insight to how I look for sniper trades, especially in London open.
If you look at the 2 red arrows, you will see that during New York yesterday, price made a high of the day at the 200ema, which acts as a resistance/support, in this case it is a resistance for obvious reasons. The Asian session High came up to test this same zone, as seen on the second red arrow. Effectively making a double top in the higher time frame, that is the 1hr chart.
Price then broke below the 200ema, as well as the 50ema(red) in the Asian/London changeover, when price broke below the 50 ema, that ema became resistance and not support, price came back up to retest that resistance as indicated with the yellow arrow. When the price could not break that ema, and instead ended with an engulfing going short, that was my perfect entry for the morning. 140pips have never been easier. Patience and confirmation are key.
This is the simplest form of my strategy, there are obviously more components to how I trade, but this is the simplest and most fundamental way for catching great entries.
Boost if you like what you see. Safe Trading
P.S. GJ is Bae!!
Lesson 2: Support & Resistance ZonesSupport an resistance zones are critical in the market. These are the juicy spots from which market-makers get to feed themselves immensely. Many traders get trapped in these zones. Buyers are trapped when the market-maker's intention is to SELL and sellers are trapped when the intention is to BUY.
It very important for ordinary retail traders like you and I to be able to play the game the market-makers plays at SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE levels. This is how one can truly profit from the market. There's a lot of price manipulation going on at the S&R levels.
Market-makers are also in this business to make money. Unfortunately it is the retail trader who fattens their pockets. The good news is that this can be avoided through PATIENCE, PROPER RISK MANAGEMENT ANN HIGH LEVEL OF TRADING PSYCHOLOGY.
Things to avoid doing at SUPPORT & RESISTANCE levels:
1. Trading BREAK-OUTS instantly (a sure way to be caught in the opposite side)
2. Placing STOP LOSSES right on the zone (whipsaws will destroy you)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope this bit of education will help you trade carefully at critical SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE ZONES.
HAPPY TRADING!!
How to trade Support and Resistance levels? BINANCE:BTCUSDTPERP
Support and resistance levels - are price areas on the chart where the price has ever changed its direction. This place always attracts traders, because near the levels there are obvious places for setting stop losses and entering a trade. Also, there are always limit orders of large buyers or sellers near the levels.
We can say that the level is the price area in the market, where traders consider the price to be too high or too low, depending on the current market dynamics. Therefore, it is always important to pay attention to key levels at which support and resistance have reversed roles or there has been a strong price rebound. We can designate support and resistance levels as the place in the market where traders are more willing to buy or sell, depending on current market conditions. This creates a collision zone between buyers and sellers, which often causes the market to change direction.
What are levels?
Support level is an area on the chart with the potential strength of buyers. The moment when buyers enter the market. The resistance level is an area on the chart with the potential strength of sellers. The moment when sellers enter the market with a large volume, which allows them to take advantage of the buyers and stop the price increase.
When the price breaks the support level, the support becomes resistance.
Conversely, if the price breaks through the resistance level, the resistance becomes support.
- On higher timeframes, support and resistance levels gain more strength. It is important to pay attention to the nature of the price movement from the level:
- If the price immediately turned from the level into the opposite trend, then this level can be considered significant.
- If the price tests a certain area several times, making a small pullback, most likely, this level will be subsequently broken.
How to draw levels on the chart?
Support and resistance levels are not lines on the chart, but areas or zones. No need to try to draw them exactly according to the shadows or bodies of the candles. Strive to achieve the maximum possible number of price touches of the levels. This will usually require you to move the level up and down until you find a spot where the market touches that level the maximum number of times.
You do not need to rewind the chart far to mark all the important levels. Most often, traders look only at the current monitor screen. Therefore, 100-150 candles will be enough. Most of the levels you will need will be based on price action over the past six months.
Focus on key levels that are immediately visible. Don't draw too many levels on the chart. Try to keep only the main ones and discard the secondary ones. If you find yourself wasting too much energy looking for levels, you are probably drawing more levels than you really need.
How to use support and resistance levels in trading?
A level is a place for a possible entry into a trade. If an additional confirming signal appears at the level, you can think about opening a position. Stop losses are placed by levels and possible targets for profit fixation are determined.
In books on technical analysis and on the Internet, you can often read that the more often the price tests the level, the stronger it is. But this is a gross mistake. In fact, the more the price touches the level, the weaker it becomes.
Imagine that we have a support level. The price bounces from this level because there are buyers in the market. If the price often returns to the level, this means that buy orders are gradually being executed. And when they are fully executed, then who will buy? Therefore, when there are no buyers at all, the price breaks through the level.
It is important not to forget that support and resistance levels are, first of all, zones, and not exact lines on the chart. Otherwise, you may encounter two problems in your trading: the price does not reach the level and the price goes beyond it.
When the market gets close enough to the level without hitting it, you may miss the trade because you were expecting a trading setup to appear exactly at the level you chose.
In a situation where the price goes beyond the level, you think that the level has been broken out and you try to trade the breakout, but this often turns out to be a false breakout.
How to solve these two problems? Very simple. Always treat support and resistance as zones on your chart, not exact lines.
How to find out what will break the level?
As we already know, support is an area with potential buying pressure. Therefore, when the price approaches the support level, it should turn into the opposite trend. But what if this does not happen and the price starts consolidating at the support level?
This is a sign of weakness as the bulls are unable to forcefully push the price up. Or there is strong selling pressure in the market. In any case, this situation does not look optimistic for the bulls and the support will probably not be able to resist.

Setting Support and resistance levels using the CSC-HARSI 2022Watch the video to get FULL details and listen to some commentary. Always feel free to ask questions below. I love talking with you guys.
Here is how we do it:
Set your RSI and VWAP as its Moving average in the CSC-HARSI
The lower the RSI setting, the more S/R levels you'll find.
So don't set your RSI to a low setting on a large timeframe chart. For example: Dont set your RSI to 9 on a 1hr chart.
Commonly I trade off of breaks of the 50 period EMA on my chart so i set my RSI to 50 and my chart to 1hr.
1. Setup your RSI to a 50 period length with source as CLOSE
2. RSI MA Settings: Set this to the VWAP (NOTE you can not change the RSI MA length if you set it for VWAP as it is now LOCKED to the RSI length)
3. Look for places on your CSC HARSI where the RSI and VWAP close at exactly the same level.
4. The close must results in a crossover and NOT a bounce.
5. If the Heiken Ashi close was a bullish candle, you mark a horizontal line on your chart ABOVE the candle
5a. If the Heiken Ashi close was a bearish candle, you mark a horizontal line on your chart BELOW the candle.
Pro Traders Take Profits on EarningsWhat happened today on the earnings announcement by PEP? Pro traders took profits against the retail crowd's buying on the news headlines that suggested an earnings "beat" for Q2. The retail buying causes the gap up at open, which is a prime cue to take profits on swing trades.
This was what we call a pre-earnings run. The earnings results don't matter as much as the technical setup a few weeks ahead of the earnings release. Swing trades were initiated at the reversal from the support at 155, confirmed by price and volume patterns at that time.
Now, with resistance overhead, where the initial target for this earnings play was, and the retail crowd causing a gap up at open on the earnings announcement, this is where professional short-term traders close long positions. This should not be construed as a good opportunity to short swing-style, however. It is an example of the execution of a long swing-style earnings strategy.
This is an example of TechniTrader's Relational Technical Analysis techniques for planning better trades.
How To Trade Probability Ranges The Critical Rule of 1/3Using the Rule of Thirds to Master Probabilities in trading and investing ranges
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stocks typically remaining in consolidation ranges 70% of the time while trending the remainder.
Using the rule of thirds, we can use statistics, prior price action and the probabilities of success to determine when to enter trades where the odds are stacked in our favor.
1) We start by finding a stock that is in a consolidation range, and identify the nearest important support and important resistance levels based on your targeted trading timeframe.
2 ) We take the range between the support and resistance levels and divide it into thirds, so we have three zones within the consolidation range.
3) When going long, you want to BUY the stock when it is within the bottom third or the zone from support to the 1st third level. Once you buy, your objectives are to hold during the middle third of the range, and sell during the top third.
When you buy in the first third, this gives you a 66 percent chance of success. If you buy in the second third of the range, you only have a 50/50 chance of success. Going long in the top third of the range, gives you only a 33% chance of success because you are already close to the resistance level.
When going short, the sequence and odds are reversed. You sell during the top third of the range, hold during the middle third and exit in the bottom third. This again gives you a 66% chance of success when you enter in the top third, 50/50 chance if you enter in the middle third, and a 33% chance of success if you enter in the bottom third as you are already close to the support zone.
****Using this simple trick, you can quickly evaluate trades based on probabilities and selectively enter trades where the odds of success are the highest and avoid likely losing trades. The rule of thirds also also gives you the confidence to continue to hold trades based on previous important ranges, and provides clear levels where the stock is likely to either reverse or start trending.
Hope It Helps to your Trading & Investing Success

The '5th rule' in support/resistance trades !!!There is a false and very deceptive saying in technical analysis when it comes to identifying strong and valid S/R levels, which says that the more tests apply to S/R levels the stronger they become.
excuse me WHAT?!!!!!
Many tests won't make support nor resistance levels any stronger, in fact, we have a rule here which mentions: ' the 5th touch of S/R level will most probably become a breakout '
most probably ladies and gentlemen, not 100%
the psychology behind this is simple:
every time we bounce from a support or resistance level, more retail traders will be attracted to open a position in the direction of the bounce, therefore a lot of liquidity will create for market makers, aka smart money, to join the party and grab their liquidity in their favor and move the market with ease afterward.
as lots of retail traders are not familiar with basic risk management methods, they put their stop losses just above or below the S/R levels, sooooo... liquidity will be provided. easy stop hunt opportunity !!!
this is in fact a common way for market makers to manipulate the market and deviate the price, trap as many traders as they can, and hunt every stop losses out there.
*one more key point: after the breakout, it's not 100% guaranteed that the S/R level is flipped. it could be a deviation!!

A Roadmap Reversal Strategy Using Higher TimeframesHi Purpose Traders. If you've been struggling with reversals and when to use more timeframes to trade them, I created a video for my client Eddie that I wanted to share with you all. He has progressed so much and is overcoming one of the greatest fears most traders have which is relinquishing control over the trade.
I pray this video helps you as well. Be blessed.
Why Shorting support & Longing resistance gets traders REKT!INDEX:BTCUSD INDEX:ETHUSD FXOPEN:XAUUSD FRED:SP500 NASDAQ:NDX
I see this time and time again - no matter if you are trading, cryptocurrency, commodities, indices or stocks, the principle remains the same:
Shorting at support and longing at resistance is GENERALLY not a good idea.
I show you examples in the video and explain why.
There is however a good time to short at support - i.e. When it has flipped into resistance after the retest, changing the market structure - and the inverse is true for longs.
If this video helped you, please consider leaving a thumbs up and a comment if you have any questions!

Most Visited Price by RuckSackEarly phase testing for our latest script, known as RS_MVP which highlights the Most Visited Price level in a specified range.
Different to a standard support/resistance indicator in that it targets the most visited price where orders have been executed. Doing so allows traders to visually see what price has the most potential orders which can help with entries as much as with stop loss placement.
You can see in this example how the price cluster leads to a trigger point. With the Most Visited Price being neither at a traditional support or resistance level, but markedly the following price action comes down to test the MVP several times. This gives potential entry opportunities, but also a useful tool for stop loss placements. We're going to explore this latter option more as we continue to build out this indicator, as many traders are looking for ways of avoiding unwanted stop hunts.

Sneak peak! Sneak peak at our current project. A quick snippet showing how price levels can be caught using our pivot tool to inform trade ideas based on Support/Resistance and Supply/Demand.
The tool is currently in a preliminary form, but we intend to optimise the level output to create a real eye view of the price action. Our goal is to mimic the price levels a trader would naturally spot and use for their trading, while added an element of sophistication to line filtering that is only possible using code.
