I already mentioned a set of static S&R's that are very nice to trade with, and they do have a way of completely deleting emotions from trading. They are very simple because the personality is such that "this is where I enter, and this is where I exit". After I explain mine to you, look at the ones you are observing, and if you see they have the same basic characteristics, then you are on to something.
My S&R's come from my own proprietary formula that assesses a trend's range and the range of corrections within the trend. They are an excellent instrument for counter-trend trading, and in grabbing short quick pips.
The 2 groups of candles in the ovals show the 2 trades this week on the GBP/USD using exclusively my S&R's. The 2nd line from the bottom is at 1.6273. It is what I call my WP (weekly pivot). It is the opening price for the week. The vertical to the left shows the 1st candle of the week. At the beginning of the week, you don't know for sure which way price will go, so let the market decide, then place the trade once the next level has been hit. The market decided to go north to start the week, thus, my WR1 (1st weekly resistance was hit. The object in trading static S&R's is to have an entry to go short at the WR1, or an entry to go short at WS1. The Fibo lines have nothing to do with the status quo in their usage. They are drawn from my WP to the WR1, WP to the WS1, WR1 to the WR2, etc. Once the WR1 was hit, then your trade for a short kicked in. The conservative target and one that is almost certain to be hit everytime is the 38.2% mark. It is labeled, in this case, 61.8%. In essence, it is the 1st Fibo line it meets up with. Notice how the line was taken out, by a small margin, and then came back down to hit not only the 38.2% line, but also the 50% perfectly.
After that trade is cashed in, you still have up the entry to go long at the WS1, but you will now have an entry to go short at the WR2 with the same game plan. This time the WR2 was hit perfectly, and then the Fibo at 38.2 was hit quickly, and even made it all the way back to the WR1.
At this point, you could be tempted to think, "That was a lot of pips left on the table." You're right, but this is a way to make pips with a conservative target and not sweating it out much.
Again, these are the kind of results you should be able to witness with nay static S&R's. They are also the kind of trades the least amount of thought goes into.
Some may think I cherry-picked a market to make observation look good. This is what I would invite anyone to do. You name the market, I'll plot my S&R's are my chart and show you the production thereof.
FYI, I post the S&R's ahead of time on my thread, "Some of my forecasts". They are done for many of the Indian markets as well as the forex markets. I trade only forex, as I live in the USA. I follow many of the Indian markets because they are the main interest in this forum.
