Trading Stocks with Support and Resistance Levels
Understanding Support and Resistance in Stock Trading
Support and resistance levels are critical concepts in stock trading. They represent specific price areas where stocks tend to stabilize during declines in upward trends (support) or face obstacles during upward movements in downward trends (resistance).
During an uptrend, short-term and day traders aim to buy at support levels. Conversely, in a downtrend, they strive to sell at resistance points.
Identifying these levels is crucial for determining precise entry or exit points in trades. Traders should develop effective strategies using tools like Point and Figure charts, Fibonacci numbers, and Gann angles to calculate support and resistance.
Day traders particularly benefit from these levels since their trades conclude by the end of the trading day. If a trade goes wrong based on these levels, it won’t affect the next day’s trading decisions.
For day traders, determining support and resistance must be more immediate and responsive to the current market price compared to long-term traders. While markets have limited daily movements, day traders need realistic expectations and practical technical levels to inform their decisions.
A Simple Strategy for Identifying Support and Resistance
This straightforward method can be effectively applied in any market to isolate support and resistance:
1. Track a 3-day moving average of the highs for resistance and a 3-day moving average of the lows for support.
2. Treat the 3-day moving average of highs as your resistance level, and the lows as your support level.
3. Use a filter by drawing the support line of the lows when a 3-day high occurs within the last 3 days (you can adjust this to four or five days based on your strategy). Similarly, draw the resistance line only when a 3-day low has happened recently.
This technique is simple yet effective for trading stocks and commodities on a daily basis. When calculated correctly, these levels can significantly enhance trading outcomes.
