Dow theory basics

How to identify trends and trend changes.

In downtrends - trendlines must connect the descending peaks - left to right
In uptrends - trendlines must connect rising thoroughs - left to right

"Trend is your friend unless it ends"- T. DeMark:)

GOOD LUCK!

Kommentar:

FOR UPTREND TRENDLINE GOES ONLY BY LOWS
FOR DOWNTREND TRENDLINE GOES ONLY BY HIGHS

Both DeMark and Sperandao strictly follows this STRICT RULE
------------------
Trendline must connect 2 lows (highs) BEFORE THE MAJOR HIGH (LOW) and it can NOT cross price between those 2 points V. Sperandao

It is POSSIBLE that trendline will go THROUGH PRICES PAST THE HIGHEST CONNECTING LOW POINT. In fact, this is one indication of a change of trend. - V. Sperandao
--------------------------------------------------------
Trendline must connect 2 MOST RECENT major lows (highs) - T. DeMark

Trendlines must be drawn from LEFT TO RIGHT ONLY (AS RECENT PRICE ACTION IS THE MOST RELEVANT)- T. DeMark

Kommentar:

Has to be "RIGHT TO LEFT ONLY". Sorry:)
