As you say, it's concentrated price levels, either by volume or by time or by effort or any combination thereof. The source of the buying and selling is irrelevant. As for your "guessed visual" question, I'd have to know your strategy and your tactics. I don't much care about the bid and ask or about T&S. .................................................................................................. The thinking with regards to the concentrated price levels is that there is always a reason that demand or supply happens.... For example....you pull up a daily chart ....you look at the concentrated price levels....and you think about this scenario... Stock float: 200,000,000 Price accumulation levels: 10% lower...visual support Negative news: price declines 10% to same level in am... 5x normal daily volume...at the mark The 5 min stops...at the mark...green kicks in...I'm in... Price regains 2%...red kicks in...I'm out... Sound familiar...unfamiliar?..ie...no extremes..no play ?
If you're buying a strong bounce off price support, that seems okay by me if it fits with your tactics and risk tolerance.
dbphoenix...thank you for your responses... To me....the LT chart tells me where the investors like it...when the price moves in extremes...not normal...then the LT players have some thinking to do...In the past they liked it here...why not like it here...again...no fundamentals have changed... You see the visuals...it's not Friday afternoon...or next to a holiday...If it drops to the next visual...they should like it even more...green starts...you add...when advances to next visual...I'm out... Sound familiar....no extreme...no play ?
As long as we are talking about S&R, is there a way to backtest S&R levels with Excel or VBA? How would you define it with formulas? DVB
No offense, but I think that's what most traders call them...the Pivot and its corresponding Support and Resistance levels. And, as far as they're significance goes, I don't think you give them the weight they deserve. But, you're right, this discussion doesn't really belong on this thread...

Yes, that's what most traders call them. That's why I used the word. As to significance, I give them the weight that is justified by their performance. And as to the thread, there have been, as I said, two lengthy threads on the subject already. Again, anyone who's interested need only do a Search of Trading using "pivot".
Not trying to nit-pick here, but you didn't use the word. You said pivots. That's why I asked you if you meant the S/R levels to be included in pivots. And, you said yes, if that's what I call them. And I said most traders call them S/R levels...
