It is easier for a trader to view buy and sell signals in chart formation where the active currency can be illustrated as it moves up and down in value.

As I am sure you are aware the forex market just like any other market moves in waves but often in one particular direction known as a trend. It is the buy or sell signal that a trader is looking for to determine the direction of a trend that is all so important.

One of the most basic methods of trading used by all traders is trading of support and resistance levels. These simple levels are where the price has struggled to go past on several occasions creating and imaginary line at that level for instance in a buy situation the price might come up to a level then stop this is known as resistance in sell situation it is known as support.

Over a period of time a currency will display a level in which the trend cannot suppress it is when the breakthrough of these levels occur that a trader will use that as a signal to buy or sell. If the trend finally breaks through a resistance level then the trader might buy at that point, if a trend finally breaks through a support level then the trader might use that as a sell signal.

This is just the most basic of buy and sell signals there are many more complex signals that are used in conjunction with each other but almost all traders will use support and resistance to determine at least one entry or exit scenario in their trading.
