Introduction

In this document I describe a day trading strategy that is based on Higher Timeframe (HTF)
Support and Resistance levels as they are defined in a trading method that is known as
Malaysian SnR. I will explain the basic principles of Malaysian SnR first and then describe a
daytrading strategy using these concepts.

Whats are Malaysian SnR Levels

Basically, Malaysian SnR levels are levels of Support and Resistance, that can be found at the
peaks and valleys of a line chart. This means that Support and Resistance in Malaysian
trading is not based on zones / areas, the levels are horizontal lines.

Figure 1: Example Malaysian SnR levels in a line chart

As you can see in the example above there are different type of levels.

 A-Level: Level at the peak of a line chart (looks like letter A)

 V-level: Level at the valley of a line chart (looks like leter V)

Beside the A- and V-levels there is another level type that is called a Gap. This level is located
at the Close/Open gap between two candles of the same color.

Fresh and Unfresh Levels

As already mentioned, the levels work as Support and Resistance and can be in the state
Fresh or Unfresh. According to Malaysian trading theory, if a level is fresh, it is more likely
that the price will react at this level - i.e. move in the opposite direction.

A level is fresh if it has either never been touched by a wick of a candle after the level’s
origin or the most recent candle that is interacting with the level is going through it with the
candle’s body (close above or below the level).

Here are some examples for fresh and unfresh levels:
