  9. the last posting is a duplicate
    chartupload.com...i have no links to oscar,just that his upload facility is great
    now,back to p/f
    it is all about trendlines and the placement of trendlines...signals like double-top etc are looked for after you put on the lines
    you are quantifying the trend in numeric terms against bar/candlestick trendline is constant change per unit of time
    so,if you look to see if the chart looks right...well i cannot really determine if the chart looks right until i have put some trendlines on
    1.one box reversal using 45degree or subjective/connecting the right hand side of semi catapults
    2.2 and 3 box reversal both subjective and mainly 45 degree trendlines
    then you can move around box size and reversal to get the right feel
    so,what all the textbooks bar duplessis teach is that signals are the most important,whereas the placement of trendlines is the first point of call
    the trendlines are also acting as areas of supp/res.it is where the trend is tested and in most cases correspond to market retracements.
    so that is why you see the trendlines on as the only guide on the charts i post

  10. aapl
    2 hour data
    $4 box siaze by 1 reversal
    hilo plot was the best configuration..imho
    so,at this point,the trend tset will be at $560..the break of the trendline
    if price moves up,then so does the supp area
    this looks to be an important trendline..imho
