Technical Snapshot Swing Trader Notes

Two entry points are typically provided to accommodate for different trading styles and risk tolerances.
All entry signals will be canceled once opposing support or resistance areas are hit.
Alternate entries can be taken at the current price, without a retracement to support or resistance, using a tighter stop loss.
Using support/resistance levels as ‘levels of interest' and waiting for evidence of buying or selling pressure at these levels before taking action is likely to enhance the odds of success.
Once one support area is broken, the expectation is that price will likely to trade lower to the next support area. Similarly, once one resistance area is broken, the expectation is that price will likely to trade up to the next resistance area.
Once profit starts accumulating in a position, it's prudent to manage the trade using trailing stops or other personal risk management techniques to avoid giving back any accumulated profits.
