I pulled up the U/CAD daily on the big O (oanda) and notice that although price was in a hurry to get to the basement, there were some pullbacks and stalling in zones near these levels... 2200, 2000, 1500, 1100 and now around 0800. For all of the previous 00 levels, price broke through and went to the next. So this can beg the question ....one that I wonder about....when does old resistance become outdated?
Unfortunately there's no easy answer to this. It really is more of a 'feel' thing. You can often see price respecting S/R levels from 10 years ago, not because it's magical, but it's because what a lot of traders are looking at.

A round number or SR level isn't a brick wall it's merely another piece of confluence for your picture. When these confluences line up we have a high probability trade. And even those fail.

After a while of practicing you keep seeing the same setups again and again and you develop an instinct. There really is no substitute for practice.

I have taken half profits off the table to set this up with a 100pip s/l and still b/e if I am taken out.Its now a freetrade and if U/J goes and tanks this month Ill look 4 another position at a major s/r level.It would be ashame to just b/e on a 100pip run but the potential reward is worth the risk 4 me

Here is something to not miss...I am preety sure the market will donate money to your account if you focuse on seeking price action around the upcoming area of resistance (Please pay attention to this area ) rememeber support or resistance is not an exact price but an area of intrest to investors.

Here is my go at it...well if you see in the weekly chart we just broke a major trendline showing us that huge amount of selling orders would get triggered...

Then the other thing I see is trying to stop a train with a little candle showing me more off a pause then a true reversal. Concetrate on the pair and wait for the retest of the breakout and that should be pretty neat as a trade...

It is better to take PINs with the trend or in the range. CT PINs doesn't work if they are not big enough. Maybe it would be good idea to take opposite trade.
