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 minutesof 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 andDaily timeframe scans (updated every 1min)

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 fullcandle– 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 aTrendline 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.

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

– short trades: Profit = (close – nearest support) Risk = Stop Loss (LT: 10%, ST: 5%, Intra: 0.5%)
