Support and Resistance Levels - traders can use price action & combine this price action with support and resistance levels. A trader will wait for price to hit the support level to open a buy trade & wait for the price to touch the resistance level to open a sell trade. The concept of trading major support and resistance levels is a very popular method in indices. For example in a upward trend a trader might wait & only open buy traders when prices hit support levels - at the same time a trader will take profit once the price hits a resistance level & then wait for another pullback to open a buy trade again.
