Screen Overview
A tour of the Support & Resistance screen — market selection, timeframe selection, the Support and Resistance tabs, and the results table.
The Support & Resistance screener consists of four main sections: market selection, timeframe selection, tab navigation, and the results table.
Market Selection
Choose the asset class to scan using the sidebar:
- Crypto
- Forex
- Indices
- Commodities
- Metals
Only one market is active at a time. Switching markets reloads the screener with instruments from the newly selected category.
Timeframe Selection
The timeframe controls how support and resistance levels are calculated. Higher timeframes produce fewer but more significant levels; lower timeframes produce more frequent but shorter-lived levels.
| Timeframe | Description |
|---|---|
| W | Weekly |
| D | Daily |
| 4h | Four-Hour |
| 2h | Two-Hour |
| 1h | One-Hour |
| 30m | Thirty-Minute |
| 15m | Fifteen-Minute |
Timeframe Recommendations
| Trading Style | Recommended Timeframes |
|---|---|
| Position trading | Weekly, Daily |
| Swing trading | Daily, 4h |
| Intraday trading | 1h, 30m |
| Scalping | 15m |
As a general rule, levels identified on higher timeframes carry more weight and attract more market participation. A support level visible on the Weekly chart is more significant than one visible only on the 15-minute chart.
Support and Resistance Tabs
The screener contains two tabs:
- Support: instruments approaching levels where buying pressure has historically appeared
- Resistance: instruments approaching levels where selling pressure has historically appeared
Each tab maintains an independent result set. Switching tabs does not change the selected market or timeframe.
Results Table
The results table lists all instruments matching the current screen criteria. Each row includes the instrument symbol, current price, price change, up to three support or resistance levels, multi-timeframe performance metrics, and a mini chart.
Click any column header to sort the table. The most common sorting strategies are by Chg% (to find the most active instruments) or by proximity to the nearest level (S Lvl1 or R Lvl1).
Overview
Screen for instruments approaching levels where buyers or sellers have historically stepped in, to time reversals, pullbacks, and breakout watches.
Support vs Resistance
How the Support and Resistance tabs differ, what each says about buyer and seller activity, and how to use them to find setups early.
