Why Your Support & Resistance Lines Don’t Work ($100M Trader Explains)
Summary
The host, a former Wall Street trader, explains five essential criteria for effectively trading support and resistance: trading in-play assets, identifying clean levels, observing proper consolidation, gauging emotional reactions, and ensuring multi-timeframe agreement. He argues that most levels are noise unless these specific conditions align, allowing traders to distinguish meaningful setups from random price action. By applying this framework, traders can improve their selectivity and risk management, moving beyond blindly trading every horizontal line on a chart.
