this one is different... the other one was only a level price sensor..
this one is called Market Profile
it can also help to determine support and resistance areas...
How is the best way to yse this to determine support/resistance?

look at the average white lines... define levels where more orders are... you have to asume that some traders would try to keep orders at those levels. And there are more probabilities to find those traders in leveles of many orders. I'm not sure if this could be exact.

all of those levels of "a" I tihnk have been hunted or stopped and now "b" and "c" levels are in play in my opinion.

I have drawn it even better. Looks like it's ready to break on the upside.

I am already long on this one.
Yeah I confirm, I think it broke upsde a few hours ago. Grats. Thats a rare one. *Diamonds are Forever* no pun intended.

Hello guys
I folow this thread with great interes and i was thinking to give you some view of trend line trading.
For trendline breack i like to have 2 retracement before trendline breack then i waithing for another retracement (pulback) to curent swing low or high for entry in trend.....also keep in mind to look at candlestick pattern for better entry.

Regards
Catalin

Hello Catalin,

Let me say I like your drawing style and your approach. I also believe you might be overcomplicating stuff just a little bit.

I would suggest that you look into higher TFs to look for major "S/Rs". Let me say that S/Rs (horizontal) work as pivot lines or as I call, CRITICAL lines just as trendlines are as well.

Let me expose my technique for finding these CRITICAL lines.

I usually switch to a TF that is good for my trading style (usually D1) and switch to the LINE CHART (old school). I look for peaks and valleys. The more coinciding peaks/valleys, the more valid a S/R is.

I saw your trade on cable today, and I believe you could have antecipated a bounce up for a trade even before. There's support @ 1.9815 area.

Also, I see that you placed your S/L at the support. I would recommend that you placed your S/L below the support line altogether with a reverse order (SHORT) @ S/L level. Not above it, not below it. Many trades could end prematurely due to wrong S/L placing. I usually place stops based on critical levels (LINES).

Below I provide an example.

Cheers.
