Ignore These S&R

Why It Matters

Understanding when to prioritize timing and market aggression over nominal S&R levels improves execution quality and P&L, and prepares traders for the operational challenges of managing large positions where partial fills can materially impact strategy and returns.

Summary

The speaker advises traders to ignore lower support-and-resistance levels when order flow becomes increasingly aggressive, arguing that aggressive buyers will absorb discounted offers and fill trades rapidly. Instead, traders should prioritize timing and use larger position sizes when the market shows conviction, because entering on favorable momentum improves execution and reduces the risk of partial fills. He warns that as traders scale to very large sizes, partial executions become a major constraint—forcing strategy shifts like selling into strength rather than on the decline. Adapting behavior to market aggression and timing opportunities is presented as critical to building capital and avoiding execution headaches later.

Original Description

Not all levels in the market will hold, so never just steam in without considering. The clues are always in how the market is approaching the level.
