demo — That's the traditional definition of a trendline. And, your two charts are almost identical, in that they present cycles, which each may more easily be explained with a channel with a dividing line in its middle. I prefer to stuff as ...

The Art to Draw Correct Trendlines

Okay, gotcha another'un. image This organizes, purty darn well,all PA and PA-close stuff. (I do NOT count language overlays (order flow), extra approximations (VSA or that sideways volume, both for nonstandard volume) or lagging stuff (you ...

Where is the EDGE in trading? The most important thing in trading!

demo — First of all, I don't have a lot of experience drawing pitchforks, only of trendlines and, less so, of channels. I'm not profitable, also. And, I realize the charts I posted could be unclear to many. However, all I gave example of was ...

The Logic Behind the Pitchfork

continued — One tiny, critical error in the last post's last picture, reflected my eventual attitude that lost me the longest-held account (24 trades, before a six-trade spin to margin call) I've had in months. I was facing my fears, taking on ...

Okay, I replaced my chart study to make one that reflects what you posted. IMHO, while there is a core of a pitchfork started, a channel extended from that pitchfork works better. image

The Logic Behind the Pitchfork

demo — Good advice. Just dig deeper into whatever system/method/strategy you use now. Other ideas how: Study why your indicators work and how they fit together, such as taking multiple samples of what seem to be the same shape for each ...

Well, that's the thing isn't it. Lots of methods are exchangeable, that is, average, in reading what the market is really going to do next. Then, one can differentiate a particular method through programming it, making it a little closer to ...

Price action is dumb, and you're lazy for thinking otherwise

No. How'm I supposed to understand what an unknown thousands' trading habits are? Your extra note socially contextualizes a chart study. In that case, trader confidence due to this contextualization'd be the only way to think of your extra note ...

Price action is dumb, and you're lazy for thinking otherwise

A good point. There'd be several grades of ability, such as price to move from one price to another within a certain time period, in relation to some indicator / drawing device / etc., in waves in such a relation, or in a unique shape -- which is ...
