well , i do have the habit , to try and trade in "foresight" even if a particular channel or range etc.. hasent been formed per se..

the lines are there "just in case" ....

but in this case it played out quite well.. as u notice price reacted at the "mean"

no other line was in sight (trading in foresight) at best SLA could tell u a pot. reversal.. but with conjunction of the "mean" ... its easier to get out or pull the trigger... but thats just me..

I'm sure he was referring to the teal diagonal "trendline" you had drawn in your chart. He added a few more to show how they weren't very helpful compared to trading the extremes of the range.
 
to me that range and its mean got obsolete as soon as price didnt respected it and somewaht whipsawed thru it several times...

but one isnt lost .. as the 50% mark of the downmove is what one couldashoulda have focused on..

The point of the range is to show overbought and oversold conditions, then reverting back to the mean as it did. Then once new value is established a new range can be as well.

I disagree, but, again, I'd rather you post these charts to your own journal.
 
MadeMan,

On you previous 60 min chart, are you just plotting rth prices and not the overnight action. I ask because on 2/2 there was a spike down to 4085 that is not shown on your chart which really messes up you channel points.

wow , DB u never cease to amaze me..

but your lines start to multiply ;)

are those small ranges really that important ?

even if price clearly is on the lookout for new value? , ie todays oversold condition might be tomorrows new value..... hence making those ranges obsolete ?

dont forget a channel is nothing but a diagonal trading range

@bmwhendrix
i dont want to cluter this journal anymore , the chart i used is the most comon used in this journal (investing.com) ,even then price justed poked it and reversed...

cheers

Obviously yes.

If price is seeking new value, it won't be in a range.

True, but if the channels are drawn incorrectly, they will be of little to no use.
