...Subjects that I would like to discuss:
(1) how to draw S&R lines more accurately (I have I think a pretty good understanding but I am open);
(2) what is the best way to combine and number candles;
(3) what is the best entry (I think that there is an ideal entry point after price closes over a line which I understand to be a little late);
(4) What extremes do we use for entry; and
(5) ideas for exit. I have thoughts on each of these topics...

(1) Price closed over a line, what line did price close over?
My definition of S&R is a line that price does not close over.
What if price closed higher and then closed into the previous candle?
Based on my definition of S&R, S&R could have been anywhere between the OC of the first candle but now must be lower than the close of the second because if price closes over a line then it is not support.
Where you draw your line in the sand should be based upon how you create a position.
If your entry pattern is 1u, 1u, 2u, then support is below a 50% retracement.
If your entry pattern is 1u, 1u, 3u, then support is below a 40% retracement.
(2) Highest close & 2 candles back + vise versa. Master price closing over a line before you go any further.
(3) The best entry is one in which price doesn't come back and shove a red candle down your throat hole
(4) The larger the time period the better...any extreme where it is likely that you can set an average before price closes over your line in the sand.
(5) After:
1. a large CC.
2. the 3rd or 5th or 7th

wave
3. price does not close higher
4. price closes over a line that you believe to be S&R
just to name a few.
