resistance.
Support and Resistance

Price Alarms
• You can set price alarms on Metatrader or other platforms
• The price alarms can be set at short term or longer term support and resistance levels.
• You can also set a straddle alarm, which is two price alarms on the same pair, if it is trading in a tight range to monitor for a breakout in either direction.
Price Alarms
• If a pair is in a cluster or layers of support or resistance set the alarms outside of the cluster.
• When the alarms hit if you are in the main trading session check The Forex Heatmap ®.
• Spikes are not significant, areas of support and resistance are, if a pair spikes you can reset your alarm slightly higher or lower.
