How To Trade Using This Indicator
Here’s a simple strategy you can use with the Resistance Price Alert Line Indicator:
📈 Entry Point
Place the blue resistance alert line just above a key resistance level. When the price breaks above the line and the alert triggers, evaluate price confirmation (e.g., strong bullish candle close) and consider a long (buy) position.
🛑 Stop Loss
Set your stop loss just below the breakout level or most recent swing high (for fakeout protection).
🎯 Take Profit
Target the next resistance zone or use a fixed risk/reward ratio (1:2 or higher). Trail your stop to lock in profits if the price continues to move upward strongly.
