RE: Support/Resistance Calculations

Hi,

Support/Resistance is a visual process. The more points the lines touches
reverse and the more long term it is in place, the more valuable and
predictive it is becoming.

I read in S&C magazine a piece about evaluating the strength of S/R by
volumes. Calculating the over supply/demand the line was repelling is giving
a clue on the next time it will be attacked. In the same piece, it was said
that S/R is a zone and not an exact value. I quite agree. Take it as it is:
a level at which the people that lost money want to breakeven (resistance)
or where buyers consider the security to have real prospect for value
(support). It is a small war of supply and demand and a big chunk of
psychology of the masses.

It takes time to really select the right S/R because of the noise of the
markets.

Newbie help please.

I have been eyeballing support and resistance levels and using
horizontal lines on pricecharts.

I desire to become more sophisticated and use Metastock formulas to
determine primary and secondary support and resistance levels. Any
hints as to how to go about this.

Thanks.
