Hi,
Well it's more of an art that a science. In fact that's why I am looking for indicators to make it rule-based.
What I do is basically a mean-reversion scalping strategy on the 15 min timeframe.
- I use the recursive stochastics for a "cyclical" view - i.e. what was supposed to happen if price were cyclical. I assume there is a 20 bar cycle - William Bressert said so!
- I use the DSS r-squared for the actual momentum view - what actually is happening with orderflow.
When they agree - price has a chance to bounce from the S/R or supply and demand zone.
When they disagree - a new S/R or supply demand zone has a chance to form that will be a point of entry later when tested.
To identify S/R or S/D zones I look in the past - if cyclical stochastics said down but price went up then there are strong bids there so I can scalp the bounce or if price should break through - bids will flip to offers and support will become resistance.
I don't care much how I draw my S/R lines or S/D zones - don't think there is a "correct" way of doing so. I just use the closest round numbers to trade off.
Here is a pic from the recent euro price action.
