LEARN · THE CORE PROCESS

Work with the zone instead of predicting the zone.

A practical way to use Key Zones is to separate the location from the trade decision: know the area first, then let price behavior provide information.

01Approach

Know the area.

02Observe

Read the response.

03Decide

Apply your plan.

Before price arrives

Decide what would make the area relevant to your own setup. This might include the direction of the move into the zone, market structure, time of day, volatility, or other information you independently use. KeyLevel IQ does not prescribe those rules.

The advantage of a predefined area is that you can think through your conditions before the market is moving quickly.

As price trades around the zone

Rejection

Price tests the area and moves away from it rather than establishing sustained trade through it.

Acceptance

Price spends meaningful time in or through the area instead of immediately rejecting it.

Continuation

Price moves through the area and continues in the same direction with little evidence of rejection.

Indecision

Price repeatedly crosses or chops through the area without a clean response. Waiting can be a valid decision.

Ways traders may use that information

Different trading plans can use the same zone differently. A trader might wait for a confirmed rejection, wait for acceptance through the area and a retest, use the next zone for context, or choose not to act when behavior is unclear.

KeyLevel IQ does not designate one of those choices as the required trade. The zone is the common reference point; the setup and risk rules remain yours.

Avoid the automatic fade: A published resistance zone does not mean “short immediately,” and a support zone does not mean “buy immediately.” First evaluate whether price is rejecting, accepting, or moving cleanly through the area.
