Trading 103: Refining Your Trading Bias with Key Price Levels on MT5

Step 1: Marking Key Price Levels on MT5 

1. Support & Resistance Levels 

Support: A level where price has previously bounced up. 
Resistance: A level where price has previously been rejected downward. 

How to Identify on MT5: 

  1. Open your chart and switch to a higher timeframe (H1 or H4)
  1. Look for areas where price repeatedly reversed. 
  1. Use the Horizontal Line Tool (Insert > Objects > Horizontal Line) to mark these levels. 
  1. Switch back to your trading timeframe (M5 or M15) and see how price reacts near these levels. 

🚀 Tip: The more times price touches a level and reverses, the stronger it is. 


2. Psychological (Round Number) Levels 

These are price levels that end in .00 or .50 (e.g., 1.1000, 1.1050 for EUR/USD). Traders naturally place orders around these levels, making them strong areas of interest. 

How to Use on MT5: 

  1. Open Market Watch (Ctrl+M) to see current price. 
  1. Add horizontal lines at round numbers near the current price. 

💡 Example: 
If EUR/USD is at 1.1032, mark 1.1000 and 1.1050 to see if price reacts at these levels.
