Auto-Support/Resistance (Auto-SR)

What we had before– Daily and EOD Auto-SR scans– Auto-SR drawn in all timeframes

What we have just introduced in the new Beta– Auto-SR scans now supported in all timeframes

(down to 1-min)– Scan supported for Partial candles also (makes

finding breakouts much timely even for intraday traders)

– EOD timeframe is Daily timeframe updated at EOD



Partial/Full Candle Scans What are partial and full candles? E.g., 5-min timeframe chart:

– At 10:17 am, the last candle contains only 2 minutes of data, hence we call it partial

– The candle will become “full” only at 10:20 am. Till now all scans were full candle

based, except Daily for which we had EOD and Daily timeframe scans (updated every 1 min)



Partial/Full Candle Scans All timeframe scans can be updated

– Every 1-min (i.e. for partial candle)– At every full candle

E.g., 3-min timeframe scan can update– every 1 min (Partial Candle)– every 3-min (Full Candle)



Scan Alerts are generated on partial or full candle– Either first time in a partial candle– At end of every full candle (just like in

Investar 5.1 today)

Partial/Full Scan Alerts



Partial/Full Scan Alerts E.g., 5-min timeframe

– Set support/resistance breakout scan alert at 10:10 am

– Breakout happens at 10:17 am– If update frequency is:

1-min (partial candle), scan alert will be generated at 10:17 am

5-min (full candle), scan alert will be generated at 10:20 am



Determining the Strength of a Trendline or

Support/Resistance How many peaks or troughs does it touch?– The more the touches, the stronger it is.

At what angle is the trendline?– The flatter the trendline the stronger it is.

Volume accompanied by trendline break?– The stronger the volume, stronger is the

trendline. How recent are the touches on the

trendline?– The more recent the touches the stronger it is.

How long is the trendline?– The longer it is, the stronger it is.Copyright © 2009-2015 Proseon

Tips for using Auto-SR Keep the default settings – scans are done

using the default settings Make sure your chart duration has the

number of bars that you have selected in Tools->Options. E.g., if you have 240, then you should have at least a one year duration.



Risk/Reward Ratio 1:3 is a good risk reward ratio. Risk: maximum loss you can have. Reward: maximum profit you can

have.– long trades:

Profit = (nearest resistance – close) Risk = Stop Loss (LT: 10%, ST: 5%, Intra:

0.5%)– short trades:

Profit = (close – nearest support) Risk = Stop Loss (LT: 10%, ST: 5%, Intra:

0.5%)



Stop Loss Strategies Stop Losses are put based on type of

trader:– Long-Term Trader: 10%– Short-Term Trader: 5%– Intraday Trader: 0.5%



What timeframes to use? Long-Term Traders (Holding Period > 6 mos)

– Use Daily and Weekly charts. Short-Term Trader (few days < Holding Period <

3 wks)– Use Daily and 1-hr charts

Intra-Day Trader (Holding Period < 1 day)– Use 1-hr and 15-min OR– 30-min and 5-min OR– 15-min and 3-min



Auto-Support/Resistance Scans

Crossing Support/Resistance Support/Resistance Breakouts High Risk/Reward Ratio (Risk/Reward ratio

> 3) Near Support or Resistance (within 0.5% of

simultaneously with Investar 5.1
