Here is a simplified screenshot of one of the futures charts I watch during the day. This one is for the Nasdaq 100 futures basis March.
I am not showing the other trends I watch on this chart for the sake of simplicity, but you will get the idea if you look at the nightly updates.
The trends with support and resistance may be a little clearer when one looks at them this way.
For short term traders I would recommend the AlphaTrends website which is listed on the left under educational links. Brian is a very good technical daytrader.
"what should you do to avoid being an idiot or a swine? Merely this: You should do something great, you should lay aside all the foolishness of a more of less long existence, you should become resigned to the fact that you will seem ridiculous to a race of janitors and bureaucrats if you are to enter the service of Splendor. Then you will know what it means to be the friend of God. The friend of God!"
