In Trading, Objectivity Trumps Subjectivity
“Every trader is a steaming hot bowl of bias stew and must maintain self-awareness and lucidity behind the screens as the trading day oscillates between boredom and terror.”
The above quote is from a good friend of mine and veteran FX trader Brent Donnelly. It completely nails the biggest challenge for new and even experienced traders: being as objective as possible when making trading decisions.
Yes, as you become more experienced, subjectivity, market feel and experience are part of one’s decision-making matrix, but early on you do not have that luxury.
If you start each day knowing that price action in the market is random it will remind you to think objectively. There are, however, repeatable patterns that occur again and again…..it’s your job to identify them.
That’s where Support & Resistance levels come in.
Definitions: “Support” and “Resistance” Levels
Many technical indicators and tools can be subjective and challenging to learn. This is not the case with support and resistance levels.
Support and resistance are terms for two price levels on a chart that appear to limit the security’s range of movement.
The “support level” is where the price regularly stops falling and bounces up.
The “resistance level” is where the price normally stops rising and dips back down.
The more frequently a price hits either level, the more reliable that level is likely to be in predicting future price movements.
Understanding Support and Resistance Levels
Remember, the more informed and objective we can be with numbers, the more confident we can be with our trades. That’s important because, although price action is random (a fact that has been proven time and time again), there are repeatable patterns we can use to get an edge.
Two of those objective data points we can use to gain an edge are support and resistance levels. These are two of the best tools we have when it comes to swing trading. Why? Because they give us strong data points that suggest where an instrument is likely (and unlikely) to go.
But this is really key: Arbitrarily cataloging each price level that appears to be relevant as a support or resistance level isn’t going to get you far. That’s why Aspen Trading takes a unique approach to support and resistance levels.
With Aspen’s Support & Resistance Levels, we measure where trades (prices) occur in terms of frequency. This gives us a sense of where market participants are wagering prices may go.
That’s about as raw and unfiltered as you can get in terms of displaying what has taken place. There’s no room for interpretation - this is raw data that can be used to get a sense of where prices may be heading.
Learning The “Four Sets” of Support and Resistance Levels
There are four sets of support and resistance levels that are part of Aspen Trading’s S/R framework.
Each set of support and resistance levels is unique to a specified period of time. We display each of them in different colors on our charts when we analyze trades to make it easy for us to understand the data as we get comfortable reading charts.
You’ll see each of these levels on display in the charts that follow below. The four sets of support and resistance levels are classified as follows:
There are four sets of support and resistance levels that are displayed by Aspen Trading’s S/R Analysis Tool. Each one is unique to a specified period of time that we then display directly on the chart. The levels are classified as follows
- Intra-day & short-term traders love the GREEN levels
- Swing traders gravitate towards the ORANGE levels
- Medium-term traders like to see RED
- And those longer-term folks dig PURPLE
IMPORTANT:
These lines will change/adjust until the end of the specified observation period is complete.
Once the observation period is complete, that range will then be displayed on the chart as a set of dotted lines that is shaded in to serve as a reference point for traders to know the key levels from the prior lookback period. This can often be very helpful.
What’s the distinction between the 4 color levels?
Essentially think of these levels on a rising scale of importance. While GREEN levels are certainly key, they do not hold the same level of significance as the PURPLE levels.

$GPN - more weakness and decimation than indexes reflect
Market isn't just liquidating the high momentum, hyper-growth, type stocks.
Traditional valuation metrics and dividend seem to be of little interest at the moment, for $GPN investors.
GPN - More Upside VS Downside Potential#GPN i recently made and uploaded a video on GPN discussing how this company has had solid earnings and even established a partnership with PYPL to start accepting crypto currencies as payment, aside from the fact it's a global processor for credit and debit cards it has a SAAS service it provides for business owners as well. All in All i feel this play has been dramatically run down looking at the chart you can see a long standing support line which dates back years it has recently broken through potentially being a false break, i would never advocate anyone buying into a falling knife nor would i give anyone that kind of financial advice but i do see that when this play starts to get some volume and interest will be a great opportunity to make some nice profits i am bullish on this play long term it's literally all about finding a floor and it starting to climb out of this downtrend still makes for a good one to add to a watch list.
Bottom FishingHow low will she go?
Other payment processors are following GPN down, but if I remember correctly, this one started plummeting first.
The top is ugly, and GPN has fallen to the 100% of the complicated multiple top pattern. You can get a guesstimate by drawing a trendline from the head to the neckline then projecting it downward. The neckline can be found by looking at the shoulders and where the leg up and then the leg down that form that peaks of the top. Often it is clear and is a level of support until broken. This one was not so clear and finding a neckline can be subjective.
Unfortunately, a bad, ugly top can go further than 100% and hit lower fib levels like the 1.27% etc. You can look for a point of confluence where price may gel and stop falling due to support at that level. It may be a gap, a long legged doji or a consolidation zone that you see to your left. When a security has fallen this much, sometimes it is easier to find a support zone on the weekly timeframe.
A bottom may form, or a zone of consolidation, but do beware as it can fall again. An inverse head and shoulders can be a good bottom, but these can fail as well during a strong downtrend.
Sometimes I use William's alligator which consists of short term moving averages and when it starts turning up, and the shorter moving average (5/red) starts crossing through the other 2 (8/white/ and 13/blue). William does not look good right now )o:
Oversold but oversold conditions can last for extended periods of time just as overbought levels can.
The longer term SMAs look terrible right now and price is under the 50, 100 and the 200 SMA. They are sloping down. Negative volume remains high. Short interest is 1.83%
No recommendation
GPN huge payments processor at supportPayments co GPN saw sales up 27% in august earnings . Covid D stalled the reopening and GPN slid back. Now at LT support.
$GPN - note the selling volume in August 2021and that volume carried through in early September.
Would like to see it close above $168.74 and to see the CMF reverse trend.
Is Global Payments $GPN oversold?Stigmatized with legacy payment concerns?
Non-participant in recent market rally.
Arguably oversold ...
Can we might anticipate a bounce:
• to the mid $170s (see green line) or perhaps
• low $180s (see anchored VWAP, yellow line)
Does OBV ever really act as a coiled spring?
Consider as candidate for accumulation on further weakness, in long-term investment portfolios.
Pull Back Fishing How low will she go?Appears financials may not be the industry that folks are in love with right now.
Most in this sector had a huge run up. I am not sure if big money runs sectors up or if we help. I guess we follow.
It is like an industry can do not wrong, until they are done with it. Perhaps they run it up, make their money, and fly the coop.
