Welcome to Channellines!

Channel lines started as a pure technical analysis site based off traditional technical analysis of trendlines and their paired parallels. All technical analysis patterns and principals are based off channels (inclining and declining trading ranges) and their interaction with other channels of different slope or time frame.

I took it one step further. The "why" behind technical analysis! Why does it work, why does it not work? Is there a better way to play the markets and be more consistantly correct and profitable? There sure is. All based off the principal of averaging down. I can show you how to go long, or short, the market at just about any given time, and come out in profit. Don't believe me? I can show you!

Welcome again to Channellines! I am Winace!

Charts

A bullish perspective.....

I have gone long the NASDAQ at the close... I will not be holding extremely long, unless we drop more before a recovery. In that case I'll keep adding.



Missed opportunities...

This morning, I increased my entry thresholds. I did this, because it allows for a larger initial entry at a more extended level. The trade is still able to be managed, but you have more overhead due to the delayed entry. The draw-back of this is missed opportunities. I increased my entry threshold by 1%. One of the ETFs came with 0.25% of trigger before compensating. That opportunity passed by, with entry thresholds I used yesterday, I would have been in the trade and harvested 8-9% profit. The whole point is, the larger the account, the quicker the entry, the less missed opportunities. Cash is power, power captures opportunity.

Markets are pretty much neutral as of this post, I am sitting and waiting.

Intra-day H&S

The right side of the head reset some indices, which means this intra-day H&S pattern should complete successfully and not fail. The SPY target would be 81.50ish. I am not playing this speculative move, just a tid-bit.
