RESEARCH FRAMEWORK
Support and resistance rejection
A framework for testing reactions at levels that genuinely predate the trade.
Only the measurements the rule needs
Pre-marked levelsRejection candleATR
Conditions before an entry exists
- Level is marked before price revisits
- Maximum zone width is fixed
- Minimum room to the next obstacle exists
ENTRY
A defined rejection close or break of the rejection bar.
STOP
Beyond the zone and volatility buffer.
EXIT
Next opposing level or fixed R.
DO NOT TRADE
Levels drawn after the reaction and zones so wide they explain everything.
What has to happen before capital is at risk
1Timestamp every level
2Count untouched and failed levels
3Compare first versus later tests
4Include spread
Report gross and net results, the full eligible sample, maximum drawdown, trade distribution and any rule changes. Then repeat on data that did not influence the design.
Use the same protocol every time.
The CSV test plan records eligibility, costs, execution, outcome and rule adherence without turning an example into a promise.
