ellliottt Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 Support-Resistant In forex trading, the price is formed actually follow the market mechanism, meaning the power of buy-sell in the market. Therefore, there are certain price levels are usually the psychological level of the "agreed" by traders. There is a price level that is perceived by traders as prices are already considered high, so that those who buy a tendency to do a take profit. Well, because it occurs in general, the price will usually be corrected (decreased). That is what is called resistant level. On the contrary happens, too. There is a price level which the trader is considered low enough, so that those who sell and take profit will perform as a result, prices will be corrected (increased). That so-called support level. Consider the following picture: Well, if we can find out the points-resistant support this, then we can know when to make buy, when to sell and when to take profit The problem now is, how to determine those points? The most common practice is to calculate the pivot or by using the Fibonacci benchmark The formula for calculating pivot points are as follows: Pivot point (PP) = (High + Low + Close) / 3 Support and resistance is then determined as follows: The first level support and resistance: First support (S1) = (2 * PP) - High First resistance (R1) = (2 * PP) - Low Second level support and resistance: Second support (S2) = PP - (High - Low) Second resistance (R2) = PP + (High - Low) Complicated ...? hahaha ... Do not worry ... you actually do not have to use their own formula and calculate these pivot ... I deliberately put here to make you dizzy ... lol ... just kidding ... Quote

ganthiraj Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 This MTF Indicator draws horizontal lines. You can change the parameter Ex: The TimeFrame can be set to 1, 5, 15, 30, 60, 240[H4], 1440[Daily] and 10080[Weekly]..... You can also change the BarsMax but should not be less than 55..... I do not have idea for the other setting. I am experimenting it and trying to use it in conjunction to Price action such as 1-Pinochio bar 2-DBHLC and DBLHC. Visit James16 Price Action Chart Thread...... I hope someone can share any ideas to this indicator. Hope this help, Quote

standart Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 market form in fractal which create ups and downs. ups is support and downs in resistance. by point out potential level of support and resistance, traders have clue what they need to do in trading. traders know where the entry level and open positions at the good spot or level.

myregister Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Simple but still proven to bring more benefit for trader. Support is good for the rising reversal while Resistant is falling reversal, but if there is a breakout and especially if the breakout is strong, the price could reach to the higher resistance or lower support.

The thread itself is flooded and so I haven't put the effort to read it. Also I heard that James himself is not active in his private site anymore. The supporters are running it. Any update on this thing? Quote
