Notes and risk management
– Because the file set didn’t include 30 daily sessions, the “daily” support/resistance here leans on today’s intraday pivots and obvious round-number supply/demand. Before trading, overlay these levels on your daily chart and adjust to the nearest daily swing highs/lows and gaps.
– For 1–3 day swings, keep risk tight. If breakouts fail to hold above trigger levels on a 30-min closing basis, exit quickly and reassess.
