without looking at anything else, if one traded with just support and resistance, what goes wrong? trading ES or YM support/resistance calculated based on both daily and 5min charts. no fibbonachi/elliot/fundamentals.. thoughts?

great response and analysis, Kiwitrader! your trading experince shows in your respose, eventhough I dont fully grasp the "feeling"behind the cycle. thanks for taking the time
