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 providing liquidity, or taking the "other" side of the trade.

This site is now taking a different direction, we (my trading partner(s)) and I, are using this site more as a trading journal. We will list our positions, in part, and discuss various topics and thoughts throughout the trading day. I encourage the learning process, not relying on a crutch to help you with your trading. The primary purpose of the blog will be just a place for us to write down ideas and thoughts, not to educate (although we will, some), not to assist in your acquirment of monetary gain, but a place to interact with other market participants. My name is George Swanson, also know as Winace. My trading partners/account owners are present, I will allow them to present themselves and reveal whatever of their identity they are comfortable with. Enjoy the trading day, I wish you the best in your market journey.

NASDAQ Channel intersection

Over the next few weeks, I do believe we have more downside potential than upside, I also speculate that is the way we go. The channels on the QQQQ, however subtle, shows a good point of intersection for a steep decline. This is speculative, of course, and will not affect my trading, but nonetheless, this is what the charts point to in my analytical point of view.

As far as trading playable extensions, it is far easier for me to find shorting opportunities than long opportunities. My test portfolio is self delta balancing, so a steep move, in either direction, should benefit my overall portfolio position. My delta, for each position, is also being averaged in, so a volatility crush, if it does happen, will impact me far less than most. Have a great day, I'll update the 10 position portfolio results later today.
