[Support/Resistance] How to stay ahead of the pack?

This is going to be the second post on Support/Resistance Zones. Click here to read about the difference between looking at Support/Resistance levels as Lines or as Zones.

In this post I am going to talk about how I use 2 simple techniques to stay ahead of the pack when I trade the markets.

1. Using Equidistant Channels to mark slanting Support/Resistance Zones

 

2. Using Rectangle Tool to demarcate Horizontal Support/Resistance Zones 

It's a very simple technique. But it gives you a powerful visual signature on what's going on this specific trading instrument at the moment. 

This is how you can use this technique only if you love to trade in a range bound trading environment. 


If you're a Breakout Trader, you can use rectangles to demarcate sideways price action & make your entry after the breakout.

And this is how I use both of these simple techniques together to stay ahead of the pack when I'm trading the markets. 


Start using them from today itself. And don't forget to comment your experiences, views & feedback.

Good Hunting to you!

Support/Resistance Lines vs Zones

Every trader in this world loves or hates Support & Resistance levels simply because they play an important role in any kind of trading system. Fact is that most of the traders lose money at Support & Resistance levels. Why? Just because of GREED! < You always want to catch the exact top/bottom? Don't ya?

I used to trade with age old Support/Resistance lines for a long time & after going through a lot of hardships, I found a new way to demarcate support/resistance levels in charts! Not as lines but as Support Resistance Zones.

How to mark Support/Resistance Zones in your charts? 

This is how I roll! :D
I use Trend Channels in my trading platform to identify Support/Resistance Zones!



Start to see Support/Resistance levels as Zones! You'll be amazed by the results!
