Is there a PCF that can automatically identify and draw the support and resistance lines for my chart?

If you can define when support and resistance should be set, we can create a plot for you.

We need to know how you want the support and resistance levels determined.

I am not so sure myself. What parameters do I need to create a support and resistance line? Are there any common standards for this?

There really isn't.

Support and resistance is set by the person. How they trade, how they read charts and what they see all influence what lines are drawn by most people.

Let me know what you decide and I can run from there. I cannot give any advice regarding chart reading or trading.

One idea is to use previous price action
as support and resistance.

For example the lowest low of the last 20 days:

MINL20

The highest high of the last 20 days:

MAXH20

(the 20 can be made into whatever you like. If you plot
on your price chart be sure to select :("plot using price scale").

I use candlestick charts and I would like to know at which points in the last 30 days did the candlesticks hit a support and resistance point?

optionsgod,
The trainers cannot give settings, interpretation or investment advice. This includes defining support and resistance for you. I will move this topic to the Stock and Market Talk forum where other traders are more likely to see it and comment.

Support and Resistance Lines Formula
Pivot = (High Point + Low Point + Close Point) / 3 (example)
Range = High Point – Low Point

4R [4th Resistance] = 2R + Range
3R [3rd Resistance] = 1R + Range
2R [2nd Resistance] = Pivot + Range
1R [1st Resistance] = Pivot + (Pivot - Low)
H [Yesterday's High]
P [Pivot Price, i.e. Midpoint]
L [Yesterday's Low]
1S [1st Support] = Pivot - (High-Pivot)
2S [2nd Support] = Pivot - Range
3S [3rd Support] = 1S – Range
4S [4th Support] = 2S - Range

There is calculator here:

Is there any way I could use the formula above to create a TeleChart PCF that can plot the support and resistance lines for me for a particular stock for the past 30 days (1 month)?
