Notice that this is a countertrend trade. If you want to minimize risk, do not take trades contrary to the trend. In this case you could have ignored the transaction, and gone long when the price bounced from encouraging longer trendline.

No I didn't and I am pretty mad at myself because I had this pattern during night if the it was moving nothing and I finally fell asleep before the breakout... And of course it was hard but I managed to miss the bounce from the lengthier trendline. I did pretty damn good now.

Hi Adeiaz1 and all traders out there!

I've a question in your mind here regarding drawing trendlines. Most of the eduional sources on the web imply that trendline are drawn on the shadows instead of the near of price. However 1 book I've read Trading for a Living imply that trendline ought to be drawn to the near of price. As my trading expertise is few, I am not able to judge if which is the proper way of drawing on trendline. I hope u all can help solve my grief and answer my question.

1)That is the right method of drawing trendline and why?

2)Another question I have is what gd source are there in the internet which explain the theory behind SR traces and trendlines? Exactly like Adeiaz1 stated that an uptrend informs tt demand is higher than supply and the SR lines(demand lines) etc. many of those websites teaches hot to spot and also draw but didn't have gd explanation behind. I believe that understanding why is as important as learning how to draw properly.

Thanks Beforehand and gd trading to each of

1. The way is just 1 way. Does it work?
Mainly because you have other traders drawing the exact same way. And I really don't mean just people who have 10k account. This drawing-method pull between where supply/demand changes lines. This is where supply/demand changes strength the location where you want your lines to be. So, traders will look to sell/buy and put stop/loss around this levels, that is the reason you will see rapid (big ) movements when price hit those levels again.

It is not hard. When drawing S/R lines to some degrees with success but utilizing a rule in your drawing will help it become stronger and clearer, improving in which you put orders and stop/loss.

This is also a way preventing you from filling up your charts with 100's of different lines. Attempt update your lines when you view new candlestick types from the way that is mentioned, but also help keep your old ones to a level to find out whether they are valid. Only practice will provide encounter to you. Studding price action around your S/R lines is a wonderful way of getting knowledge of price behaves here.

2. Attempt conduct a google on it (much of help eh?) Or conduct some drawing on your own chart to learn price reacts in your lines. It is rather easy after a couple of attempts.

This kind of drawing have supplied with powerful S/R lines so I am certain you can add this to your arsenal of tools with confidence.

When I don't have some obvious aid as in this 4h downtrend example, it functions taking precisely the same angle as your supported resistance-line and just place it where you see price reverse. Of course, when retested you won't trade it, but tend to be legitimate. Easiest way of doing so is: double-click your line (so that it get marked with 3 dots) and press Ctrl underside and drag it to a spot. Same angle attained!

Instance of wrong and right drawn lines.

It is not hard. When drawing S/R lines you could almost draw on them from everywhere to a few levels with success but utilizing a rule on your drawing will help it become clearer and stronger, improving where you place orders and stop/loss.

This can be a way preventing you from filling up your charts with 100's of unique lines. Try upgrade your lines when you view new candlestick types in the way that is mentioned, but also keep your old ones to a degree to see whether they are valid. Practice will provide you encounter. Studding price action around your S/R lines is a way of getting awareness of how price behaves .

Sry, jus discovered I spelled that your nick wrongly, lol.

So as u say it functions be coz it's jus lik an self fufilling phrophecy?
Well u hit it right when u said to stop having 100s of line in my chart.
Anyhow I will be aware of your point and attempt to apply it.
Meanwhile I will like to share my view on GJ, but I will like to admit tt I do not have 1 year of exp in trading that you mentioned in ur 1st post. Jus a thought translating them and I lik and at precisely the same time practice my drawing of tl/sr lines. Hope anyone can correct me if I'm erroneous

this is an hrly chart, it's showing powerful res at upper trendline and yet also showing strong support. It's best to remain at sidelines. Wonder is there a big move to ch whether it breaks the triangle...

My goal for saying that was just intended for daily updates on unique pairs

This thread is hopefully here to learn how to draw S/R lines.

Your greatest circle around 210.40 isn't perfect. You don't have some candlestick around this area. You might ask why price stopped at the level? Really where correlating with other time-frames is sold in, this is. Take a peek at the 4h (and 30min) chart drawn in the example last article, it will tell you.

Your right, remain of out ranging markets, occasionally I've experienced price simply to walk tru S/R without any reaction.

A large move will occur when we have so solid wedge like this. We don't know which way.

So the reason for the incorrect chart in post #101 is since it was not drawn at the point when the cited candlestick pattern formed?

Anyway Thank you for sharing the trick of holding ctrl left click for parallel lines didnt know .

Correct, because that specific pattern supply us where supply/demand alterations.

But keep in mind, this is not bible for trading, it's only a method I have applied for drawing lines

However, keep in mind, this isn't bible for trading, but it's only a method I've employed for drawing lines
