Traders often fall into the trap of treating key support and resistance levels as absolute entry and exit points. A common mistake is thinking, “If this level breaks, I’m in, and I’ll hold as long as it stays above or below.” However, the reality of market behavior is far more complex. Price action frequently whipsaws around these levels, causing traders to endure multiple small losses before a decisive move occurs. While each individual loss may seem minor, they add up quickly—leading to frustration and missed opportunities.
Consider SPY’s 609.07 high from December 6, 2024. It took over a month to break back above, only to dip below six times since. Traders constantly faced the tough decision of whether to hold or exit, a challenge that becomes even more demanding when trading intraday charts.
How Automation Can Transform Your Trading
For traders stuck in low-probability setups, automation can be a game-changer. Instead of getting caught in the endless cycle of manual decision-making and fatigue, automated trading systems can help manage risk more effectively. While traders using options or discretionary strategies should still prioritize high-probability setups and reasonable stop-losses, understanding the long-term expectancy of trades is key.
This is where Andrew Falde and the Automated Trading Collective (ATC) come in.
