Support and resistance basics
How to mark zones, avoid exact-line thinking and combine levels with risk management.
What are support and resistance?
Support is an area where buyers previously reacted. Resistance is an area where sellers previously reacted. Think zones, not perfect lines.
How to mark levels
Common mistake
Beginners often expect price to reverse exactly at a line. Real markets can wick through a level, retest it or break it completely.
Better workflow
Mark the zone, wait for price action, then plan entry, stop loss and target. If the stop is too wide for your account risk, reduce lot size or skip the trade.
Support and resistance are context tools. They work best with a complete trading plan.
