Hi all,
Here is a quick tutorial on how I draw support and resistance lines. A few things to keep in mind are use multiple time frames to get a more comprehensive understanding of trend and to determine which lines are more significant than others. Also, by using these lines you can set more accurate limit orders and save money by not having to pay extra fees for market orders. It is important to NOT enter long positions as we near areas of strong resistance. We should be taking profits at those levels and entering longs when approaching lines of support. Additionally, this allows you to set a tighter stop loss because if the line of support is rejected then it invalidates the idea that the asset is increasing in value. Of course, you need to use indicators and do a more comprehensive analysis but this should be a helpful tool to help you manage risk. I plan to make more of these videos laying out trend lines, dynamic lines of support and resistance, fibonacci retracements and spiderlines etc. If there is anything you want me to provide a tutorial on please leave a comment and I will get around to it as time permits.
Best,
Brad
