And how actually you're founding S/R?
And which line (from the bunch) is actual S or R?
(Only don't tell me, that they're all S or R).


I start with the monthly, looking for changes in direction, marking only lines within a certain amount of pips from current price.

Then drill down to the weekly and do the same, maybe fine tune some lines.

Image

Then drill down futher to the daily and do the same again.

Traded low of bar that broke trend line, but after further review I shoulda, coulda traded retest.

Lesson: patience
Homework: study charts to see how this has worked in the past.
Study incorporating zline/mighty zones into my entry criteria; particularly on momo candle entries.

Analysis is a reflection of ones self and how one interprets price over time; if this is you then how is it wrong?

Personally, I choose one level S&R per time frame because I want to know when I am wrong.

I also believe that it is best to use horizontal lines over diagonal (w/ the exception of finding equilibrium) to trade with.

Taking time to study; not getting in a hurry; all sorts of ideas going through my head; looking to develop some structure; getting pulled in so many directions; it's a job within itself to sort though what is worthwhile to study and what is not. To be continued ...........? Cheers all,

Since studying MO's Cash Zone combined with MZ's, I believe this combo to be lethal. I don't see anyway trading between cash zone extremes in confluence with MZ's, then again with longer term trend off of S/R, with targets dependent on momo/non momo PA, can be beat, for my style of trading 1 to 2 longer term trades per week. This is where I've been concentrating my efforts for the past while, and my like is growing the more I study it. I've learned a lot from you all in my short career in FX. Thanks and cheers,
