 Big round numbers (74.00, 1.2700, 1200.0)

o Major? Brick Wall of Price

 Slower timeframe levels (auto levels)
 Trend Lines on the slower timeframe
 Double-tops and bottoms on the slower timeframe

o Focus on 1 market at a time, master your trading on the 1 market, and then expand.
o Traders love to make this harder on themselves by trying to do too much.
