Stop Loss Placement Options
Did you know that you can also use the support and resistance indicator to place your stop loss just a few pips outside of the support and resistance levels so that you do not get stopped out prematurely?
In my opinion, this is the best way to place stop loss on any trade: by using support and resistance levels. On the chart above, you can see and example of how the stop loss can be placed on a buy order. For a sell order, you will have to use the resistance level and place it a few pips above that level.
Profit Target Placement Options
You can use this support and resistance indicator to place your take profit order. If you are in a buy trade, then resistance levels provide options for you to evaluate and place your take profit order. Again, refer to chart above.

Another way that the support and resistance indicator can be used is for trade management purposes, mainly trailing stop. If you look at the chart above, you can see how you can trail stop a buy trade and lock in profits as your trade moves in favor. In this way, you ride out most of the trendy move and capture much of the profits as possible in that move.
