Using Support And Resistance To Trade The Foreign Exchange Market
It’s really important you master the skill of identifying Support And Resistance level to build a good foundation for your success as a trader. The issue most traders have with the whole process is they tend to over complicate it all and are just left with a very messy, confusing, hard-to-read chart. Sound familiar?
A quick search of the forums and it didn’t take me long to find traders posting up charts littered with Support And Resistance lines that are way overdone. Instead of keeping things straight forward and simple, this trader has gone overboard and created an environment that is impractical and just down right too difficult to trade in. There is absolutely no need for this and is extreme overkill.
Support and resistance are absolutely critical to making money in the forex. Without support and resistance, you have no boundaries that make sense. In essence, you would see what appeared to be random prices reversing direction for unknown reasons. While support and resistance don't necessarily give you the reasons, they do identify critical areas for every currency pair.
Most traders believe that Forex Support And Resistance mapping is meant to be a hard or complicated process, when it’s actually not. Some traders also believe they have more of an ‘edge’ or ‘insight’ into the market if they market out as many lines as possible, again far from true. So what I am essentially saying here is that you don’t need to go crazy with marking out support and resistance levels, in fact you only need to mark out the significant levels that are surrounding the current price movements.
Forex Support And Resistance make up the major boundaries of ranging markets, when a market is range bound the only levels you really need to have marked out is the upper resistance ceiling and the lower support floor of the range. We recommend to only trade price action signals from these 2 levels, short signals at range resistance and long signals at the range support is what we look for in price ranges.
Nearly every single technical trading system will rely on you the trader having the ability to correctly draw support and resistance levels on your chart. Mapping out support and resistance is really the most important core skill any serious traders will need to have a good grasp on. If you can’t draw your support and resistance then your trading as a whole will implode on itself.
