Are you tired of manually drawing support and resistance levels and Fibonacci retracements?

Please discuss methods for drawing past support and resistance levels and Fibonacci if you have any ideas or methods.

The validity of supports and resistances is directly related to the number of their collisions, and they should be checked carefully for the past periods, which is a difficult task.
These levels are not a specific line but an area in terms of market volatility.
Sometimes missing one of them can cause you to exit or enter a wrong trade.

For support and resistance I usually start by marking the obvious swing highs and lows on the higher timeframes like daily or 4h since those levels tend to hold more weight. I also look for areas where price has reacted multiple times because those zones often act as strong barriers again. With Fibonacci, I anchor it from a clear swing low to swing high (or the reverse in a downtrend) and then focus on levels like 38.2, 50, and 61.8 which often line up with structure. On Valetax I use MT5 for this since it makes drawing and adjusting zones and fibs pretty straightforward, and sometimes I cross-check with Analysis IQ to see if fundamentals line up with the technical levels.

One tip I always give in this case is that it is always better to look at the bigger picture. So if I am trading on 4 hour chart, I will also check the daily chart for finding the more valid support and resistance line.

What if you're not planning to stay long in a trade?

That way focusing on the target timeframe is advised. But if you want to know to what's the deal with a chart, look at the larger timeframes.

I think the main idea is to understand where price tends to react, not just draw lines for the sake of it. Even if you’re trading short-term, knowing what’s happening on the bigger timeframes helps you avoid trading straight into a major zone. It’s less about being perfect with lines and more about getting a feel for where buyers and sellers usually step in.
