Thank you very much!
[54]
Alright guys let’s dive right into it.
[55]
When I draw out my levels for any stock, be it small cap penny stocks or mid cap large
[60]
cap stocks.
[61]
I always always start drawing on the daily chart first.
[64]
The daily price and volume levels are the most significant.
[68]
And why is the daily chart the most important tool?
[69]
To answer that question we must understand what exactly is a candlestick chart.
[74]
The chart is basically a visual representation of major transactions, both on the buying
[80]
side and the selling side.
[83]
So this chart maps out the price levels and where that big money decide to buy.
[89]
And the reason i say big money is because it’s the funds, the banks, and millions
[94]
of dollars going in and out of the stock that can actually move the price of a stock such
[101]
as $ROKU.
[103]
This company has 16 billion market cap.
[106]
So to move the stock 5% up or down you need…hold on
[111]
So basically you need about 2600 worth of lambo money of either buying or selling to
[120]
move this stock 5%.
[122]
And That's what i mean by big money.
[124]
They are the money that can cause major selling, which creates resistance levels.
[131]
And vice versa, where the big money buys up the stock, create support.
[134]
So let's draw some lines.
[136]
The first thing I i always do is mark out the price levels that show major volume break
[142]
out on the daily chart.
[146]
Daily Volume tells you is the amount of shares bought and sold on that day.
[151]
And when we see major volume break out on the daily, that means those areas are where
[157]
the big money in the past decided to buy or sell this companies shares.
[161]
Ok so now that we’ve drawn out major price levels that had volume breakout.
[166]
The second thing I look for is whether or not there are gaps on the daily chart and
[171]
mark out those levels as well.
[173]
Because if you think about it.
[174]
There had to be major selling or buying from the big money to create that overnight gap.
[184]
Usually these visual gaps on the daily are caused by fundamental catalysts like earnings
[189]
or FDA approvals or fails.
[191]
If you look at ROKU, these icons on the bottom of thinkorswim daily chart are when they had
[199]
earnings report.
[200]
And whether the company beat on earnings or fail earnings, that fundamental news drove
[206]
the big money to buy and sell, hence creating these visual daily gaps.
[212]
And many times these visual gaps match with the volume break out too.
[216]
So lets go in and mark out those levels
[219]
Missed earnings, funds decided to get out,.
[221]
Beat earnings, big money see more upside so they pour money back in.
[224]
the value of the stock is determined by the company earning potential.
[230]
So if this publicly traded company said in their conference call that they expect to
[235]
be affected by the trade war and sales will decrease in the next quarter.
[241]
That means their revenue will decrease they can’t make money for their shareholders.
[248]
So that's why almost always see big money movement after each earnings.
[253]
Ok so after marking out the lines on that daily that had major volume and cause daily
[263]
gaps, the third step to drawing key support and resistance, is to smash the like button
[268]
if you haven't done that already.
[271]
I’d really appreciate it.
[277]
Ok the third step, We want to go in and adjust each horizontal price level.
[282]
The rule of thumb is this, you want each price line to have touched these candles multiple
[288]
times in the past.
[290]
Why?
[292]
Because like I said earlier, these charts are a map of historical transactions that
[298]
happen at these price levels.
[301]
And we want to see multiple buying and selling had been done in the past around those lines.
[308]
Thats hows us, thats the level the big money is using.
[312]
So usually I want the lines to have touched at least 3 times.
[314]
So let's do some adjustments here.
[315]
Once you’re done, a very quick and easy way to double check whether your support and
[317]
resistance lines make sense, is to flip the daily chart to the weekly.
[322]
The chart should still look very clean.
[324]
And I want to double check that the lines still land on major volume breakouts.
[331]
And still have touched the candles multiple times in the past.
[335]
So you can add or move them here if you want to.
[339]
When I’m swing trading for more than 2 days, I use the levels especially on the weekly
[346]
chart.
[347]
Ok so now that we have support and resistance lines charted out.
[352]
Lets go over some indicators i use in the charts.
[354]
And if you want to see how to use daily support and resistance lines to trade intraday, check
[360]
out these two videos.
[375]
I don’t trade intraday with 200SMA, like i said this is just a general guide on the
[383]
And these Indicators only ā€œworkā€ if the masses know them, and use them.
[388]
Thats why i think its so funny whenever people tell me they have this secret indicator, and
[393]
they’re not going to tell anyone.
[395]
Or they are going to package the secret indicators in a $5000 dvd.
[404]
If only you and your neighbor know the indicator and use it, its not likely to work.
[424]
Like I’ve said many times in the past videos, don’t rely on indicators or chart patterns.
[430]
If you rely on them you’ll always be one or two steps behind.
[434]
I’ve read many times in the comments that the way i describe charts and price levels
[440]
are similar to how Forex traders do it.
[443]
And that is completely true.
[445]
In 2016 I was mentored by a forex trader his name is Orane.
[450]
He started first in forex trading then moved on to trading penny stocks using the same
[456]
methodology.
[457]
He was sharing many free video lessons and ideas on a well known penny stock community
[462]
site run by a well known penny stock guru.
[467]
All his insight on the stocks and psychology is what caught my eye and I started following
[473]
him.
[474]
But of course, eventually he got banned from this guru’s site, because he was sharing
[480]
free ideas and videos that were much much more useful than the guru’s $5000 alerts
[488]
and dvd’s.
[489]
So after he got banned he moved on to work as a hedge fund manager.
[495]
And the fund started an educational program.
[498]
and that's where I followed him to from 2016 to 2017.
[502]
The program was expensive, that's where my lambo money went.
[507]
But it was worth every penny.
[510]
The training program no longer exist now because he has moved on from trading forex and stocks
[520]
and on to the next new venture for himself.
[523]
But we are still in contact, and hopefully i’ll get to interview him on this channel
[528]
one day.
[529]
But the way he taught me about psychology and how to use it to analyze daily support
[536]
and resistance lines was truly transformational in my own trading.
[541]
This method of charting and set up makes things simple and very clean to read.
[545]
I don’t use anymore indicators besides those I mentioned in this video.
[550]
That way I can focus on price action, trader psychology, and how the candles are reacting
[556]
to each support and resistance levels, instead of spending the time to check whether all
[560]
the bollinger bands, RSI, MACD and the stars in the universe line up.

Like I said before, my mentor came from a forex background.
[590]
I don’t trade forex, but I did find some basic forex videos that explain support and
[597]
resistance further.

I’ll leave them in the description below.
