Course 18 of 60 in the forex hub. The object is S/R as zones on FX: figures, prior day, session highs.

Round Numbers and Prior Day Are the Honest Ones

Round Numbers and Prior Day Are the Honest Ones. The honest one-sentence object of this lesson is S/R as zones on FX: figures, prior day, session highs. If you cannot say that without opening a platform, you will size the wrong clock. The failure mode that actually hurts accounts is lines on every wiggle. Write the object, then size. Educational only.

Analog, not identity: fewer levels, better levels. This page is not a lesson in crypto pairs or listed index futures. Different machine, different hours, different ruin path. Contrast the object with futures hub rather than treating every product as the same machine.

1. Figures

Figures is the first working definition. S/R as zones on FX: figures, prior day, session highs. People skip this because a chart is easier than a specification. A chart is not a spec. If you cannot explain Support and Resistance in FX to a skeptical friend without a screenshot, you do not understand it yet.

Keep a crib note: object, invalidation, dollar cap. Lines on every wiggle is how cribs get skipped. Do not skip. For the arithmetic habit, use stop calculator until dollars are boring.

2. Prior day / week

Prior day / week. Convert every pretty statement into dollars. The arithmetic below is illustration — live ticks, pips, and margins change. Re-read the live schedule.

If your level is 1.0837 and the figure is 1.0800, the market may care about 1.0800. Put $163 on the figure or don't.

If that arithmetic already exceeds your cap, the lesson is over: pass or step down in size. Passing is a position. Confirm the dollar translation with margin calculator so the notebook and the statement agree.

3. Session highs/lows

Session highs/lows. Context is not a trigger. Fewer levels, better levels. Use context to veto, not to force a click.

When in doubt, name S/R as zones on FX: figures, prior day, session highs again. If the sentence changed, you changed trades without admitting it. Related structure: free calculators.

4. Zones vs lines

Zones vs lines. Process beats mood. Write the rule that fires without a debate at the worst moment. If the rule is 'I'll see how I feel,' you do not have a rule.

Stops, flatten policies, and session boundaries belong in the same notebook as the thesis for Support and Resistance in FX. If the stop is a price, convert it with listed venues after you already know the tick or pip.

5. When they flip

When they flip. Limits: this page will age; specs, leverage caps, and dealer rules move. The live document wins. Educational only. Not NFA, tax, or a solicitation.

Re-read primary docs before you add size on the object of Support and Resistance in FX. See also previous lesson when the confusion is the venue layer, not the chart.

6. Mistakes, limits, takeaways

Mistakes: lines on every wiggle; copying size from a stream; ignoring costs; mixing this machine with crypto pairs or listed index futures. Another: treating Support and Resistance in FX as advanced because the vocabulary is long rather than because the dollar cap is written. If the sister asset class is the real mix-up, next lesson before you add size.

Maps go stale. Fewer levels, better levels. If this lesson and the live spec or statement disagree, the live document wins.

(Support and Resistance in FX education note 1.)
