How to draw support & resistance line


Recommended Posts

Re: How to accurately draw support & resistance line ???

 

I find the easiest way to draw support resistance lines is from a weekly time frame. Pull up a weekly chart draw a horizontal line at all the obvious stopping points. If you go back ten years or so you will see the same points act as support and resistance over and over again.

Re: How to accurately draw support & resistance line ???

 

I draw my S&R lines based on Highs and lows from the 4 hr chart. Accuracy is not critical as often one sees the price go through the S or R line before stopping and retracing. Take profit before the S&R lines say about 5-10 pips for safety.

found another(?) version of this trendline. it has only the .ex4 and a manual in pdf. some1 may have modified it, the email in the indicator is different from the pdf. don't know what else is modified.

How to trade using support & resistance line ?

 

Hi,

 

Any experts or guru who trade using Support or Resistance(S/R), please

kindly give some advise as I often have these issues

 

1) fake breakout, that trigger my stop loss

2) price will breakout and retest the S/R line again.

 

Often, I will try to trade based on S/R with pattern setup, but

often get killed by the retesting of the S/R by price again.

I using indicator like stochastic but still not able to get

good result.

 

Any good method to solve this issue.

 

Thank you ^:)^

Re: How to trade using support & resistance line ?

 

I trade support/resistance, trendlines and basic channels...

What I can say is there is no magic indicator that can help precise entry without being stopped out.

The better one is MACD divergence on double top or double bottom. MAke sure it is a perfect V or inverse V price pattern. If not, don't force it.

 

The most important is your screen time. The more you watch and "feel" the price, the better you will. There is no shortcut --- it can take over years to get it.

Re: How to trade using support & resistance line ?

 

Hi everyone,

I had some ideas to share about support and resistance:

a) volume is one of the magic data points that really brings the probabilities further in our favor when analyzing support & resistance. probably most of you all know that 'tick' volume is available from most forex data feeds (Esignal has a really good one aggregating 200+ bank's forex ticks). while it's not true lot volume traded, the amount of ticks per given time period can be seen as 'activity', when there's more activity professionals are interested. when there's less activity, most professionals are not very interested in those prices. there's an art to interpreting these degrees of professional interest in prices via volume & using that to triangulate with support & resistance. some of the basic ideas are:

1. if prices are 'cheap' in the eyes of the big players that move the markets, often when prices are continuing to head down at this 'cheap' level of support one might see tick volume less as the bars go down,indicating that professionals are not interested in lower prices

1a. however, very often professionals, sensing that other market participants are interested in lower prices, will move the bids lower to buy at cheaper prices, in a way sucking the public in to sell. the turning points of these situations often see ultra high tick volume and can occur around bad news numbers.

Support and resistance, prior levels, etc....can give us a forecasted zone to be looking for this kind of volume activity

2. often in the sequence of support becoming the spring board for higher prices, we'll see ultra high climactic tick volume as price touches & sometimes breaches support by a little, but closes in the middle to high end of the range; next very often when the professionals truly want to take the market up, we'll see price attempt to go down again to support-in a sense testing whether the sellers have lost interest-often this test will be on lower tick volume, indicating that the professionals are not interested in taking the market lower...this will all be happening right around support.

3. then, if we really are in a rise from support sequence, often we'll see a sudden push upward away from support in price on decent tick volume, as if many professional groups all at once realized that there was a 75% off sale on socks. often the volume & support/resistance trader will miss that entry and enter on a retest of the rising slope trend line that could be respected in this hypothetical move up

4. then at resistance, we might see price approaching resistance, maybe ready to stop and turn around, maybe ready to just pause and congest for a while. but often as prices become 'expensive' near resistance, tick volume might dry up a little.

4a. another common scenario is the opposite of the climactic ultra high volume at support. we'll sometimes see very positive news/numbers coming out, prices will surge toward resistance on ultra high tick volume, and prices will close in the middle to lower end of range on a fairly wide range (same at bottom climactic at support,often with fairly wide range), indicating perhaps that professionals knew they wanted to take the market down, but were using the euphoria of the public's buying on good news to enter the market short at much better prices

---alot of this material comes from the pdfs of Richard D. Wyckoff, Hank Pruden, Tom Williams, and Todd Krueger....

----sorry, if this was boring and you guys already know all this stuff. -live long and prosper \\//, :)>-

Re: How to draw support & resistance line

 

Hi friends

 

Ive recently started to go more in depth with horzontal s/r lines but sometimes or most of the times, the s/r lines become clustered togther and its impossible to predict where exactly the price would bounce off from.

I'm willing to learn on what Im doing wrong.

Thanks

Re: How to draw support & resistance line

 

i am no coder or anything but looking at the code i get the feeling if you simply comment 1 line out you can get it working again.

 

 

 

if (ChecarValidadeConta(0, gi_76, gi_80, gs_84)) return (0);

 

i edited this line incase anybody is wondering, i get the feeling this is calling the check to see if the time has passed, the other option would be to simply reverse the file to mq4 then search for 2009 and replace it with 2090 or something then save the file and reload it into MT4

 

i cant test this currently but here is a modified version, let me know if it works or not

here is a working one but i dont know if its any good
