Best Support and Resistance Indicator.

Recommended Posts

There are many ideas about support and resistance indicators... depending on the platforms you trade on...

 

The ones I like best and use are:

 

APA Zones (dynamic supply and demand zones) on NT, TS, and MT4

 

anaPivotZones (support resistance lines) on NT platform

Hi SadScorpion

 

IMO choosing highs & lows are fragile & risky support/resistance Bcoz they are out of range, or in an Xtrm volatility zone (like spikes) ;

they are tests 2 find a compromise accepted by all... or a possible break out !!!

 

Who knows ?

 

Who will take care of irrationnality and base their decision on it ?

 

***********************

 

But the moment when big hands Xchange there contracts in a range, identified by volumes, is a very interesting zone of support/resistance lines.

 

Bcoz When Prices moves with a (good ;=)) signal, contrarian traders + scalpers moves back price to these lines, and they Bcome very secure points of entry in the identified trend.

 

Then, last support/resistance lines starts 2 B a secure take profit zone or, if it is a BreakOut, leaving time 2 the trend 2 develop itself until new support/resistance lines appears 2 sold the position.

Hi Johnny

 

ThanX 4 the interesting TRO links.

 

Why and when a price become 2 B a Support or a Resistance, is that the question ?

 

My graph is not based on High & Low Elliott Fibo retracements, even tho it looks like this.

but rather a full strategy based on identified zones of price/Volume/Time ( POC) Support/Resistance.

nota bene

 

 

Volume by Price bars prices should be watched as potential support/resistance during a pullback.

 

it is important to understand how Volume by Price works.

 

Current Volume by Price bars should not be used to validate past support or resistance levels because the indicator is based on all the price-volume data shown on the chart.

 

This means six months of data for a chart that extends from January to June.

It may appear as Volume by Price identified support in March, but keep in mind that the indicator data extends well beyond March, which is essentially the future.

 

To effectively identify support or resistance in March, the chart needs to end at or before March, not after March !!!

 

 

For this reason we need to draw FIXED lines at EACH identified POC.

 

Then, we will use these identified estimated different sup/res lines in the near future time axis to open a position in an eventual pullback.

( secure entries and Take Profit Zone ( reversals ?) on the graph below).

 

Watching a moving POC (Point Of Control) in a "Market Profile" in a data playback mode will illustrate well this moving concept.

SR.. There's that newer volatility based S/R. I like swings and Fib clusters.. The best/most reliable is a special case - a lot of you have seen it - where price is moving in a channel (i notice it particularly in bear channels) and price will come up to the resistance TL.. often couples with candles, momentum signals, even cycles. That's probably the best trade, just not terribly frequent.

 

Generally... s/r for me is TL s/r. INDICATOR. Ah, right. In the indicator case... i hear market profile is worth looking at?? Maybe getting some order book numbers archived and correlated to prices over time?

Yeah, I like it too. It's good for S/R on the small timeframes and supply/demand on the larger ones. The thing that I think is the best is the fact that it gives you the area where the turn is expected. The market is dynamic and we have to be dynamic. Price doesn't always turn on a line but making it an area really turned my trading around. They even have trading plans and videos from other traders then the creator. I just think that's really cool.

Support and Resistance MetaTrader indicator — as the name of this indicator suggests, it displays the support and resistance levels. It shows them directly on the chart, providing an easy help when you want to set stop-loss or take-profit level, or when you want to see the next market target. This indicator uses the standard MetaTrader Fractals indicator (by Bill Williams' method) and has no changeable input parameters. This indicator is available for MetaTrader version 4 and 5.

    • Date: 22nd January 2025.   Netflix Earnings Surge Driving the NASDAQ to Monthly Highs!   The NASDAQ increases in value for a fourth consecutive day, gaining momentum after Netflix stocks rise more than 15%. Earnings reports are gaining speed for the technology sector, but why has Netflix stocks seen such a high and sudden rise in demand? Netflix Stocks Increase 15% Supporting the NASDAQ! Netflix stocks have been one of the best-performing stocks within the NASDAQ, rising more than 79% in 12 months. However, even for Netflix, a 15% rise in less than 24 hours is considered substantial. The quarterly earnings report was made public by Netflix after the market closed on Tuesday. The earnings report confirmed the following: Netflix beat their earnings per share expectations - $4.27 reported vs $4.21 expectations. Netflix’s revenue surpasses the previous quarter - $10.25 billion this quarter vs $9.82 billion in the previous quarter. The online streaming company confirms projects to expand into live sport and event streaming will proceed. In addition to this, the company’s forward guidance for 2025 remains positive. Netflix is the 10th most influential company for the NASDAQ meaning the positive earnings data and bullish price movement supports the overall price of the NASDAQ. In addition to this, the positive earnings improve the sentiment towards the entire US technology sector. Investors will now turn their attention to the quarterly earnings report for Intuitive Surgical. Intuitive Surgical stocks on Tuesday rose 1.94%. How is the Economy And Politics Affecting the NASDAQ?     The US stock market is witnessing an upward correction after struggling in the last weeks of 2024. The bullish price movement is a result of a sharp decline in bond yields, the new US administration and earnings season. Investors remain relieved that bond yields have fallen back down from the 5.00% level. If bond yields continue to decline further, particularly below 4.50%, the move would be deemed as positive for the US stock market. President Trump took office on Monday and so far the pro-US rhetoric from the President, Vice President and Secretary of State continues to support the stock market. So far, the main concern is how upcoming tariffs can negatively affect inflation and growth. However, some economists advise tariffs will become the “norm” and may have a lesser effect compared to 2018. However, this is something traders will continue to evaluate and monitor. The VIX this morning fell 0.83% lower and trades more than 5.70% lower over a 7-days. The lower VIX indicates a higher risk appetite towards the stock market. If the VIX continues to decline a strong buy indication may materialize. On the most influential stocks for the NASDAQ, 82% rose in value on Tuesday. However, Apple stocks, the most impactful stock, fell 3.19% due to poor sell data. If Apple stocks continue to decline, the NASDAQ’s upward trend may come under strain. In the meantime, investors over the next week will continue to monitor upcoming earnings reports. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis The price of the index is trading significantly higher than all Moving Averages on a 2-hour timeframe and relatively high on oscillators. These factors indicate that buyers are controlling the order book. However, price action also confirms the latest impulse wave measures 3.43% which is normally the point at which the index retraces. This is something that investors may also consider. The retracement potentially also may be triggered by Netflix buyers quickly selling to cash in profit after the sudden 15% bullish surge. If a retracement does indeed form, price action and the 75-period EMA indicates that the pullback may drop as low as $21,391.30.     Key Takeaways: The NASDAQ increases in value for a fourth consecutive day, but price action signals a possible retracement before continuing its bullish trend. Netflix stocks increase more than 15% due to strong earnings data. Netflix beat earnings and revenue expectations by 1.39% and confirmed projects to add live sports streaming to its platforms. The VIX trades more than 5.70% lower over a 7-days and US Bond Yields remain at recent lows. On the most influential stocks for the NASDAQ, 82% rose in value on Tuesday.
