HOW TO DRAW ACCURATE TRENDLINES FOR TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Why draw trendlines?

  • Trendlines can be an additional form of support and resistance and are sometimes more accurate than traditional support and resistance levels.
  • Trendlines can help you identify the trend of the market whether that is bullish or bearish on short or long term timeframes
  • Trendlines can be used to draw trading patterns and establish entries and exits of a trade.
  • Trendlines if used correctly will help you to identify when and when not to open or close a trade.


How to draw trendlines

  • Decide what timeframe you are trading on 15m, 1hr, 4hr etc
  • Draw trendlines from wick to wick or body to body.
  • Connect at least 2 points with the trendline. The more you can connect the more accurate the trendline.
  • Be precise - inaccurate drawings of trendlines could end up losing you money by making decisions in the wrong areas.
  • Sometimes you will need to adjust the trendlines, this is fine as long as you are connecting swing points.
  • Always zoom out first to get the broader picture of what is happening on the chart.
