    I do at times use other tools for trading but what I was trying to show in my journal was that you don't need a lot of indicators to trade. Just one method and patience. I price did not break support or resistance it is better to wait and stick to your plan than it is to change your plan and go the opposite direction just to get a trade done. Win or lose. That was what I was trying to show more than anything. I also use chart patterns like flags and pennants for my trading as well.

    Yes, it should be simple and it does work on any time frame you wish to trade.

    Good article on s/r. Thanks for posting that. Once s/r levels are known, the next step would be to establish entry and exit techniques to take advantage of theses zones.
    I have found some good stuff on how to trade with the zones. A little different than Gary's method. The method looks to sell against R and buy against S, instead of a break out methodology.
    Anyone interested can send me a pm.

    You are correct about this. Once you have established how to define your support and resistance zones the next thing to do is decide if you are going to trade the reversal or breakout method. Both work just fine I just felt a little safer with the breakout method. I have done the research into the reversals as well and I believe there is good money to be made that way.

    Good luck with it,
    Gary
