How To Trade Support Turned Resistance Forex Trading Strategy

Be aware of obvious support levels on your chart and if price breaks them and heads down and later starts going back up, one of the first questions you should be asking is this: where is price most likely to reverse from?

Is there a broken support level nearby where price can reverse from? If that is the case, you need to pay attention to the price action as price hits the broken support level and watch to see if bearish reversal candlesticks form and use that as your sell signal.

Here’s how to trade:

1. place a pending sell stop order 2 pips below the low of the bearish reversal candlestick that forms when it hits the previous support
2. place your stop loss 5-10 pips above the high of the that bearish reversal candlestick
3. for take profit, you can use risk:reward ratio of 1:3 to calculate it or if not, use previous swing lows as your take profit level.
