The proper way to use support and resistance levels in trading (multiple time frame analysis)
Support and resistance levels are without a doubt the most important parameters in technical analysis. These are specific price levels where a significant price bottom or price top was formed in the past on multiple time frames. And it is precisely because of that existing top or bottom that technical traders assume that that particular price level will once again become a key level for supply and demand when price hits it again.
Support and Resistance Screening Filters in ChartMill
Support and resistance are technical price levels that are important for investors whose strategy is based on technical analysis and price action. However, fundamental investors can certainly benefit from these price levels as well. After all, these are specific price zones that are watched by a lot of buyers and sellers and where there is a lot of price action. That allows for better timing of entries and a better delineation of risk.

Trend Following Swing Trading Strategy Guide

Close positions as quickly as possible when it is clear that the trend has ended. Thus, the purpose of a Trend Following Swing Trading Strategy is not to predict tops or bottoms. The typical trend trader will try to identify the main trend before taking a position and then open a position in the direction of that prevailing trend in order to maximize potential profits. In this video we take a look at some trend following entry techniques.
