Stocks Technical Analysis Basics Part 5

Windows Support and Resistance

We talk about a rising window if the lowest price today is higher than the highest price of yesterday, while a falling window occurs if the highest price today is lower than the lowest price of yesterday.

Windows resistance and support levels

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Figure 4.12: Windows resistance and support levels.

In figure 4.12, look at how windows constitute important support and resistance levels. The entire area of a window represents support or resistance. The support or resistance of a window is broken only if crossed with the closing price.

The height of the window is not important

The height of the window has no importance (figure 4.13).

REMARK: It can be worthwhile to pass on support or resistance from a lower time frame like, for example, an hourly price chart to a chart with daily prices (or visa versa).

A certain support or resistance area is possibly a window in the hourly price chart, but it is not visible on the daily chart.

Confirmation of Support and Resistance

Turning points at a support or resistance level often are confirmed by candlestick reversal patterns.

In the chart in figure 4.14, notice the first reversal with a hammer pattern and the next two reversals with engulfing bullish patterns.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
