Difference between a Trendline and Support/Resistance Lines?

I actually use moving averages to define trend. I don't draw trend lines. In real trading its better to use LL, LH, HH, and HH. Plus DB and DT. The double bottom and double top can also be referred to as support and resistance lines and yes they are horizontal lines.

If price has made BOTH a HH and HL then the trend is up no need to draw a trend line. Using an indicator that comes with some charting apps, you can have these auto created for you.

I prefer moving averages, which underline or overline price[no trader/investor bias involved ;
but a call those [moving averages]trend lines.LOL but true.And reguardless of ma trend lines or straight trend lines ;support + resistance are areas. I would not consider a dip above or below a 50 or 200 dma meaning much @ all.
