Support and resistance is the most used method for FOREX trading. This is the reason it is one of the first strategies that Apiary Fund reviews. On top of being the most used, it is also one of the easiest methods to use in one's trading for the most part. What the areas, areas being the key word, of support and resistance show is a reliable spot for reversals or breakouts. Now technically, at any point and on any candle, you can have a point for a breakout of price or a price reversal. The support and resistance, however, shows a reputable place and an easier entry point than just any random spot on the candle.

I try to run through some things I can do to get me excited to trade all over again if I notice I’m starting to lack in my trading routine.

This gives you a chance to also go over price and time cycles, which gives you the chance to prepare your statistics as well. If you work full time and only trade part-time however, creating a work calendar will do wonders to keep your personal and work-related errands and to-do list organized, and you will feel less stressed out.
