Our website which is mostly for intraday trading is three weeks old now and users during this time were more than we expected, nice! Many people ask us, the
trend line indicator is not bad and some intraday trading system using it is what you can get, but are there ready recommendations with its use? Welcome, almost ready resistance and support levels strategy is here!
For each of the 28 currency pairs are now automatically calculated resistance and support levels, which form the trend channel. Actually, now it has become available on our website, but algorithms were developed by us long time ago.
There were many questions during the development, for example, what is the right resistance and support levels, how to calculate and draw it correctly as many different options are possible. But the work is done, we are happy and don’t care is there any other similar methods. In addition, when it is possible, for each pair are calculated not only one, but two formed channels, ascending and descending. And we also have trend line indicator, it is still there!
It is assumed that intraday trading happening on hourly charts, but if you think that 4H for analysis will be better - let's discuss. In general, resistance and support levels strategy, using trend line indicator can be following algorithm, based on common rules for trade using support and resistance levels:
We sell into the channel from its borders. Even more effective option – first wait for price rebound from the border (check it using trend line indicator, that’s why we have it) and do your trade after.
If both (resistance and support) levels are based on one same point on bar chart, then this point is an important level. Just "important", many interpretations, for example, through it can draw a horizontal line and expect price turn near it.
If the price is inside ascending channel, it is better to buy (support level), same rule for sell if the price is inside descending channel. This is only an option, opinions are different.
All these rules are basic, remove or add to your taste. Thicker levels are more important than thin - an important resistance or support line is stand on bigger number of bars and some other rules. Frankly speaking, sometimes (but quite rare) I like to draw the line differently by hands, but on the whole machine (one day it will become my personal ATM machine) works very well. Don’t forget to check trend line indicator before buy or sell using levels, it helps.
So, for those who use resistance and support levels, our intraday trading system may be at least that with which you can consult when making trading decisions. For the rest – channels strategy is simple and works very well all the time. You are welcome to
