Support and Resistance Forex trading strategy is a widely used forex trading system based on horizontal support and resistance levels. The candlesticks’ highs and lows form these levels. A breakthrough of these levels after a period of consolidation signals a trend. This strategy doesn’t require any mt4 chart indicators except for the ability to draw lines (at least imaginary).

Features

• Well-defined low stop-loss(SL).
• Relatively high success rate.
• Unclear target levels.

How to Trade?

1. The support level is formed by the lows of two or more candlestick bars that include a relatively straight horizontal line with no lower lows between them.
2. The resistance level is formed by the highs of two or more candlestick bars that form a relatively straight horizontal line with no higher highs between them.
3. Consolidation is a period without any market trend, forming near support or resistance level, with relatively small candlestick bodies.
4. A close below the chart support level signals a short sell position.
5. A close above the chart resistance level signals a long position.
6. Stop-loss(SL) is set to the low of the previous candlestick (for the long positions) or the high of the previous chart candlestick (for the short positions).
7. Take-profit(TP) can be set relatively to the stop-loss(SL) or as a trailing stop.

Example

Support set-up:

Resistance set-up:

A period of chart consolidation is clearly seen on both example charts. In both cases, the chart support/resistance level is formed by two candles for a short period. Stop-loss is placed close to the entry-level. Take-profit couldn’t be clearly set at the position entry moment, but a risk/reward ratio(R:R) of not less than 1:2 could be used efficiently.
