Differentiate Retracement from Reversals with AbleSys Support/Resistance (S/R) Dots

You have entered a market and are holding a position. But now the market is moving against you. Is this current move a retracement or a reversal? If it is a retracement, it is a temporary pullback, where prices will bounce off support and resume the direction of the original trend. If it is a reversal, prices will break through the support level and continue to move against the original trend. Retracement or reversal? It is a typical question that traders face every day. You wonder:

Shall I surrender and take the loss?
If not, how much money am I willing to risk?
Should I set a stop-loss based on a percentage or dollar loss? How do I choose a percentage or dollar loss that will work?
What if I take the loss and then the market resumes the trend that I anticipated? Do I re-enter the market?
How about sticking with my original strategy? Maybe I should hang in there no matter how much drawdown I experience?
Is there a way that I can identify the support levels when I buy?

Yes, #6 is the most important question! If you knew the true market support levels, you could use them to test market strength. When a market tests the support level, if it cannot penetrate that level but instead resumes the anticipated trend, that movement more likely is just a retracement. If you wanted, you could even add to your position at that time. On the other hand, if the market penetrates the support level and closes beyond it, it is likely a reversal. You would do well to exit the position and cut your losses short. Identifying an objective support level is the key to determining if the current move is a retracement or a reversal. So now we ask, is there a way to identify objective support levels?

Risk Disclosure: Futures and options trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
