How to Find Support and Resistance (Live Walkthrough)
When price stalls at a level, your edge is knowing how to find support and resistance accurately. In this post, I show how our Day Trading Software maps support and resistance levels so you avoid forcing trades in a range-bound market.
Watch: Finding Key Levels in Real Time
In the video below, I walk through exactly how to find support and resistance on a live chart.
You’ll see the software plot resistance with dot markers and grey out bars during “hands-off” periods. Dropping to a 5-minute chart helps confirm whether buyers or sellers are actually defending those zones.
What You’ll Learn
- How to identify support and resistance zones vs. random noise
- Intraday confirmation on lower timeframes (5-minute chart analysis)
- Reading reaction quality: clean rejections vs. weak bounces
- Avoiding false entries when markets are range-bound
How the Software Helps
- Automatic support & resistance mapping with clear dot markers
- No-trade filtering via grey bars to reduce false entries
- Context first: not just signals—full market structure
Quick Playbook
- Mark obvious swing highs/lows on your main timeframe.
- Drill down to 5-minute for microstructure confirmation.
- Respect plotted levels: if price pushes into marked resistance, don’t chase.
- Wait for alignment between structure, momentum, and software signals.
Bottom Line
Mastering how to find support and resistance is the foundation of consistent day trading. Be patient, let the levels and signals line up, and take only the high-quality setups.
