Key Levels – Horizontal Support and Resistance
Horizontal support or resistance is often encountered at significant price levels.
Autochartist’s Key Levels identifies these levels and notifies traders when the price approaches or breaks through these important levels.
With Key Levels Autochartist automatically identifies these price levels as either “Breakout” or “Approach”.

Breakout: When a Key Level is Breached
- Breakout signals indicate that a significant key support or resistance level has been breached.

Approach: When Price is moving towards a known Key Level
- Approach signals are early warning signals traders that price is moving towards an identified key level of support or resistance
