Strength Of Trendlines

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Can a pro who has been using trendline’s tell me of their experience when usually they are broken or when best to buy or sell off a bounce or when they break? After trading for 1 year I find it breaks usually on the 4th or 5th bounce more on the 5th bounce break and the odd occasion 3rd while the 2nd bounce is the strongest.

 

Thanks.

I got this from a blog which is excellent info on trendlines:-

 

Factors Affecting Trend Lines Strength

 

1. Timeframe's Length of the trendline

The Longer the timeframe, the more valid the trend line. A monthly timeframe trendline is more valid than a week timeframe.

 

2. Trendline's Length

The Longer the trendline, the more valid the trend line. A longer trendline shows a major pattern over a longer period. And is likely more important than a shorter trend line.

 

3. Trendline's Number of Hits

The more frequent price hit a trend line, the more valid the trend line. A trend line which is hit 3 times by the price signals a more valid than a trend line which only receives 2 hits.

 

4. The Angle of a Trend Line

The steeper the trend line, the faster the action of a group of traders. A trend line that has a 60 degrees angle shows a faster action of a group of traders than a 45 degrees trendline.

 

5. Number of Trading Volume relative to direction of price movement

The larger trading volume which is moving in the same direction of a trend line, the more valid the trendline. If price is moving in the direction of a trend line with a greater volume, it confirms the trend. If price is pulling back to a trend line with smaller volume, it also confirms the trend.

 

Channel Trendline’s

 

Price Channel is made up by two parallel trend lines. One trend line is connecting tops of price hikes while the other is connecting the bottoms of price declines. The wider the channel the stronger the trend. The steeper the channel, the more likely it is that price will break out of the channel downward.

When you are basing your strategy on trendline, make sure that there is no major event scheduled (earning announcement, FDA approval etc) for company - as these events are known to break the trend and start new trends.

i thought depending on how/where you draw your trend line a move of the price through the said line is the reason for the trend break.....not because of some major event.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
