Can you describe how you creat the rhomboid that show on your chart?
There is strong resistance at 1312/1314 and SPX won't go higher today.
Ok rcks, I'll give it a try:
The original idea is from Gann, a chartist who was renowned the 1920s and 30s. He put the angles at a certain grade (I think it was 30%, I'm not going to look it up) and at the intersection points of his grid he put in horizontal lines.
For my grids I don't use a fixed grade such as 30% or 45%, nor do I use classical channels, which connect all the highs or all the lows of a move. I try to find the breakout points of a channel (one of Wyckoff's methods) and then I connect these breakout points. These breakout points are damn important for all kinds of applications - Fibs, fans and of course grids. And you'll notice that by connecting the intersection of these Gann/Wyckoff grids with horizontal lines you get reliable support/resistance levels.
rcks, you'll have to play around with minute/daily/weekly charts and by and by you'll get a feel for it. Here an example, check the black and blue grid (and disregard the green and red Andrew's Forks).
