Support is a price level where buying is strong enough to interrupt or reverse
a downtrend. When a downtrend hits a support level, it bounces.
Resistance is a price level where selling is strong enough to interrupt or
reverse an uptrend.
Support or Resistance Trading
The Support or Resistance Trading is usually set a 5-minutes time frames:
- If an indecision candle forms around that area, that is the confirmation of that level and I enter the trade. I usually buy as close as possible to the support level to minimize my risk. Stop will be a break and a close of a 5-minute candlestick under the support level.
- Take profit near the next support or resistance level.
- Keep the trade open until you hit your profit target or you reach a new support or resistance level
- I usually sell half-positions near the profit target or support or resistance level and move my stop up to my entry point for break-even.
- If there are no next obvious support or resistance levels, consider closing your trade at or near half-dollar or round-dollar levels.
Advices
- A similar approach will also work when you sell short a stock below a resistance level.
