Trend Trading – Understanding Trend Clusters, Chapter 8

The succeeding discussion is based on our research about the creation of the TradeGuider computer program’s automatic trending system which consequently will make the automatic trend clusters.

Trend clustering’s principle is basically an essential part of TradeGuider. For numerous years, chartists have been observing the clear resistance and support of old trend lines on a chart. Before the emergence of computers, one person had to well draw trend lines on hand charts into the future.

The facility that holds large numbers of trend channels and stored by a computer allows us to attempt on putting markings where old trends entered through the chart’s leading edge. The reason behind this idea was to realize the possibility of a meeting between a sharp down-move and resistance after a heavy oversold of the market.

In fact, the results are reasonably shocking. The following examples are absolutely candid and unique.

The trends are meeting in the location where trend clusters were plotted. However, the point where they stop enables the trends to begin at diverging. Divergence will lessen their significance. The clusters provide resistance. Market-makers or specialist can take advantage of the opportunity of the spaces between clusters. Next, imagine the clusters as a hedgerow in the countryside rather than a solid obstacle.
