I use the following all the time...

S/Term:

Previous all day London/NY high and low (07:30 Ldn - 22:00 Ldn)
Previous Asia high and low (22:00 - 07:30 Ldn)

38.2, 50 and 61.8 Fibs of previous days range ldn/ny. (Only really if there's been a big move).

M/Term

24 Hour, 100 hour 200 hour SMA. Fibs as before.

L/Term

55,100,200 day SMA
same fibo points on ytd range
52 week high & Low

plus any other ad hoc ones that spring to mind (used to sometimes look at v major legacy currency ones like 3.00 usd/dem etc but not so much any more). In addition some that you cant really write rules for, you just have to spot them on a chart (trend support / resistance, sticky patch a few weeks ago, that sort of thing)

Only problem is keeping track of them all. I'm currently in the process of writing a bespoke excel based app that will take care of this for me in the pairs I look at (including rating them for strength, producing supp/res tree etc). Been meaning to do this for years and finally realised that I should just get on with it so started yesterday. Will report back when I'm done. Primarily for my own benefit (selfishly) but would be interested to see what people think. Maybe It would make good shareware or something.
