Use this simple strategy with HODL SR and become successful trader in no time.
- Add HODL SR to your chart from TradingView Marketplace Add-ons.
- Adjust the properties as per documentation. Don't forget to turn on Show Buy Sell Levels.
- The strategy is simple: Buy / Long on
green level, Sell / Short on red level.
Never sell in buy area (between buy level and lower SR level) and never buy in sell area (between sell level and upper SR level). - Place your limit orders in advance and cancel them only if you spot extraordinary market behavior (pump, dump, news, …). In that case, you are on your own. Position yourself on the right side and wait for market to calm down.
- Watch for 50% levels as they can act as Support & Resistance levels too!
- If the price goes against you (ie:
your Sell limit order executed, but the price goes higher to
the next level), wait to be sure the next level holds.
Don't rush or panic! When you are sure, resistance became support,
place a limit order on green level or market buy if necessary (that
should be a very rare occasion!) .
Do the opposite when the price moves down.

* I’m constantly monitoring HODL SRs impact on markets and I noticed that on certain markets, Hodl Levels became off spot and after removing from TradingView, accuracy returned back to normal. That’s why I will limit the number of subscriptions to ensure we all have an edge.
