Class trade: CSCO using 2 Day 2 Min chart

SETUP CHART - Find high time frame support and resistance and take long trades near support and short trades near resistance 1. change the 2 minute chart to a 60 minute chart 2. look for the highest high of the last X number of days on the chart and place a horizontal trend line on the high 3. look for the lowest low of the last X number of days on the chart and place a horizontal trend line on the low (this is the range of the last x number of days visible on the chart) 4. look for pivot lows above the lowest low and pivot highs below the highest high and place horizontal trend lines on those pivot highs and pivot lows ( a pivot low has a higher low to the left and to the right) 5. look for any areas of prior support or prior resistance and place horizontal lines across those candle bodies 6. if the last hour or two are similar highs and lows, draw horizontal lines on the prior hour high and low. ( you can trade the 60 minute channel) 7. look for any vertical trendlines to break (downtrend lines or uptrend lines) on the 60 minute chart and draw them on the chart

8. return the chart to 2 minutes and add the additional criteria to only take the trades when price is near the support and resistance lines
