Support and Resistance: The Levels Everyone Agrees On
No indicator is older or more ignored than drawn levels. Find, draw, and trade support/resistance — the fights everyone knows about.

Support and resistance are the oldest honest tool in trading: levels where balance of power swings. Drawn well they explain most of the day's action; drawn badly they turn a chart into scribbles. The craft is choosing which levels deserve ink.
Draw Only the Levels That Matter
Quality levels come from significance, not density: swing highs/lows that paused real moves, round numbers that behave like magnets, and prior confirmed breaks. A chart with three meaningful lines beats one with twenty faded guesses — the discipline is literally chart hygiene. TradingView lets you save and reuse the levels so the map persists.
Trade the Re-Test, Not the First Touch
The high-probability entry is the role flip: support broken becomes resistance, resistance broken becomes support — after the retest holds. First-touch entries pay the market for its noise; the retest trades with the new role decided. This is where candlestick rejection patterns earn their confirmation value.
Marry Levels to the Price-Action Read
A level with rejection at the marker, shrinking volume, and a thesis from the research-check beats a level with a single distant touch. Levels forecast the arena; the pattern and the plan decide the fight. Size the same as any setup and journal whichever way it resolves — the level's truth shows in the log.

Final Thoughts
Support and resistance are the market's shared map: draw few quality levels, trade the role-flip retest, and confirm with price action. Fewer lines, keener eyes — and the levels earn their ink.
