Quote from steve46:
I refer you to "The Stock Trader" by Tony Oz.
The gentleman took only longs in a shitty downtrending market using primarily support and resistance to find entry and exits.
I myself have been using support and resistance for slightly more than a decade....Retired last year....no need to work again...
My mentor used support and resistance for a period of 40 years, retiring with an estate valued at approximately 70 million....
So
I am pretty sure I have said this before but what the hell....
Support & Resistance only "work" to the extent that the trader understands the concept of "tests". Traders who know how to wait, and watch and evaluate how price acts as it "tests" support & resistance, are able to make decisions that result in profit....Those that don't have the skills or the judgement, well no one is going to stop them from making decisions, but the outcome tends to be more or less random...
I am of the same opinion on the subject.
