  1. Ayumi, please explain what you mean by (stay out or trade near major support / resistance only.)
    I often look to take trades that a product of broken support or resistance.

    Please don't think this is a knock against what your saying, I am always open to learning other techniques, strategies, and other ways of interpreting what the market is doing.

  2. Hi Trin Cafe

    Thanks for dropping the question here :)

    Actually I am not a good breakout trader, I look into bigger time frame, to find out the major resistance of the market, then zoom into intraday chart to decide where I would enter.

    Often the market like to create false breakout, or create a high that is more significant before coming down, therefore i get killed 7/10 of the time :) *shy*

    However, once we get it right, then this trade near major support / resistance can ride for 3-4 days for a decent profit that can usually surpass the losses...

    May be u can check it out with some historical chart :)

  3. Thanks for the clarification, I didn't realize you are holding on to positions for more than a day. Trading breakouts can be difficult and lead to being whipsawed. Discipline is key when trying to get into the early trend. Allways easier said than done I know :)
