What is support?
Support is a price floor — a level where buyers consistently step in. When price falls toward it, demand reappears and price bounces. The cleanest support is the same low tested 2+ times.

Tap the price level where buyers keep stepping in — the low that price tested more than once.
Stop-Loss Placement
LESSON · STOP-LOSS
Your stop-loss goes just past your invalidation — the level that proves the trade wrong. Far enough that normal noise can't tag it, but not so far you risk more than the setup is worth.
- Beyond the swing — under the swing low for longs, above the swing high for shorts.
- Leave room for noise — a few pips past structure, not right on it.
- Don't over-pad it — every extra pip is extra risk for the same setup.
SCENARIO 1 / 3 · BUY
…
↕ Drag anywhere on the chart to move the stop. Goal: just past structure with room for noise.
✓ Nice work!
You placed stops just past structure in all three setups — tight enough to keep risk small, loose enough to survive noise.
