[@rockemmanuel4700]

I love your video, man. It eventually solved my problem regarding my doubt over whether draw the trend lines at the wick point is better than body close. But you made this very clear to me by showing it on the chart. Thanks

[@Tradeciety]

Glad you think so!

[@vikrampandey3097]

Thanks...will help me pass the semesters❤️

[@360PhoenixFlip]

I've heard so many different concepts of where to place the trendline (be it at candle body lows, or wick lows) but my question is for your method: If you put it at the bottom of the candle body, then move up a timeframe, perhaps the candle bodies are simply wicks on a higher timeframe, do you consider that? Do you move your trendlines accordingly or not bother with multiple timeframe analysis? (quite a lot of questions sorry) but thanks in advance for any insight!

[@LinusLimMJ]

i move from the higher to lower time frames and i place more emphasis on the higher time frames so i wouldnt adjust the trendlines in the lower time frames

[@tt2166]

thanks guys. u earned a subsciber.

[@amazingnature9247]

[@Zak09876]

While trading with trendline can we use any indicators to get extra confirmation?

[@calvinliu9020]

what time frame is this ? what time frame do u recommend us to use to draw trend lines

[@ayoubes-salehy8980]

Thanks. We should to draw trend line in all frame ??? In monthly > in Weekly > in Day > in 4 h > finaly in 1h . ??

[@sk1motorsport]

someone answer this please

[@babyucon]

You draw trendlines on whatever chart you prefer to trade. I often trade the 15min chart and use trendlines if I'm scalping the market but for bigger potential reward, I think trendlines are more effective on 1hr charts and up (4hr, daily, Weekly, monthly).

[@getpaid2462]

Ayoub Es-salehy Only on the timeframe you Are using

[@getpaid2462]

KSA Wheels Say thank you !!

[@martinmalala2359]

better start from the day down to the M15 if you want to scalp the M15 so that trendlines from the bigger time frames guide you as to where you have support and resistance as they are stronger than those drawn on shorter time frames!

[@relaxingsoul1209]

Thanks sir 👍

[@motheanji6017]

Thank you sir

[@suryaa1717]

[@00benlee]

Beautiful video.

[@lebohangpatrickmoloi955]

Thanks.

[@Ay0hh]

great explanation

[@shandarahmed]

What time frame have u taken?

[@Lironmarko]

Hi guys i have a question thank you for a great video btw. when you draw your trend line, what usually you set as the time frame? (daily/min, yearly/weekly) i wonder whats the best time frame to see the trend lines. thank you so much for the lesson. Liron

[@Tradeciety]

Hello Liron, thanks. I use them on the daily and 4H timeframe. I mostly trade off the 4H and I find it works quite well there. Rolf

[@vikrampandey3097]

Depends what you target

[@MajaxiFx]

thanks alot

[@eddyvideostar]

To Tradecity: This video is good: Question: Will just using trend lines and a moving average as in this video be sufficient without the use of lower indicators as the MACD, RSI, Stoch. etc? I would prefer it to be as the video in order to eliminate clutter and the confusion along with it. What do you believe?

[@Tradeciety]

in my strategy, I use trendlines as just one tool. I also use a lot of price action/wave analysis, a moving average and Bollinger Bands.

[@harmiko4687]

man your my hero thanks a lot for this vid. Hoping that might help me gain some profit to join your courses!!!

[@henriquepacheco27]

Amazing vídeo, very simples explanation!

[@MrKarn0007]

Thank you

[@Deepakkumar-uf9nb]

Great Job, Sir...👏👏👏 But voice is very slow..

[@frefnurk1538]

Hello Guys, again thanks for the video. Question if i may, at about the 8.30 mark, you are using a third trendline on the GBPUSD , where you have started it confuses me greatly, why did you pick that starting point?? Please. Thanks in advance Anthony

[@Tradeciety]

Hello Anthony, the third trendline I drew connecting the swing highs from the short consolidation. The starting point could have been a bit further to the right as well at the real swing point. Let me know if this helps. Rolf

[@frefnurk1538]

Thanks Rolf

[@ShishirRajbhandari]

the line joining highs are trendlines as well ? or just the support line or channel

[@Tradeciety]

they are both but mainly describe the channel as support Rolf

[@ShishirRajbhandari]

Tks

[@paulmiltiades6612]

Thanks for posting vid.

[@jessieurena7583]

thank you!

[@malayalam367]

which time frame using?

[@wehttamak]

do you have payment plan for your course?

[@jdssurf]

Nice video thanks man

[@Tradeciety]

Thanks for watching :) Rolf

[@robortalien]

but how do you "know" if the price will go up or down? lets say its a downtrend and you get latest 3 confirmations on your trend line, but what now? will the pair go down or will it go back up?

[@nafism6969]

another great video

[@Tradeciety]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it Rolf

[@theprofessor8392]

amazing

[@Tradeciety]

I appreciate it

[@shivshankaryadav6140]

Nice

[@Tradeciety]

Thanks

[@sergiientepreunuer9651]

How much is MA on your chart?

[@SachinSharma-ox1wo]

Trendlines are Highly subjective. Horizontal support resistance is better than them.

[@ASV897]

Hey really good and easy explanation. Thank you very much for such good explanation. I have a question though the candle bars in your example charts are of 4Hour difference and I have seen the same in different videos. Is there any reason behind that to keep them in time difference of 4Hour? Is it okay to keep that difference to lets say 1Hour or 30monutes? will it affect the analysis of chart? please reply if you are reading this.

[@Tradeciety]

I trade 4H candles but trendlines can theoretically be applied to any timeframe. Rolf

[@ASV897]

Okay,Thank you very much for your help sir.

[@shami8628793]

trend lines are very subjective. cant rely completely on it.

[@lusavelambem]

I still don’t know when I should be buying or selling

[@randystude6488]

Exactly! That's what I was missing too. Great vid on drawing trendlines, but absolutely no mention of how to use them!

[@mbhb6512]

nice video.easy to understand.. thanks alot tradeciety.com

[@Tradeciety]

You are very welcome. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment :) Rolf

[@nickthewinner2194]

nice nice

[@rahulsanghavi5441]

Trend line is very subjective

[@thePM..]

Very quiet recording, but thansk anyway

[@chetanm2]

i think trend line is all about subjectivity....not certain ruled based.

[@Tradeciety]

technical analysis is subjective. That's why you need clear rules around your tools to form a real trading system.

[@daniel-blessmannjoroge6483]

there is...you should connect a minimum of three points, then the steeper the trendline the more likely it will break.

[@tfm_patrick]

Tradeciety.com well said

[@voivodtdnl3259]

Maybe i'm wrong. But It looks to me like you are trying to make your trendlines fit your price. But that's not right. One time you draw it through bodies, the other through weaks. It's got to be consistent, ether you draw it through bodies or through weaks. And there're some other corrections you are making to make your trendline fit the price. I know TA is not a science, but you are making it even more subjective than it is. That just my opinion. No offence, bro!

[@Tradeciety]

The most important thing about trendlines is not HOW you draw them, it's that you get the most confluence. This is one of the many reasons why so many people struggle with TA :)

[@blackstallion7644]

Tradeciety.com he's an amateur he wants to trade with trend lines :)

[@mpicos100]

it seem that drawing trendlines is very subjective, isn't?

[@Sara-cl4ql]

It was more informative, if you'd wait and show that your lines indeed worked or not. This wasn't very informative, I felt only random lines were drawn with a little bit of touching the charts. But okay, the rebounds were useful info.

Welcome to the family, Saman :) Rolf

[@650fx3]

is it really meaningless at 3:59 check see that we can use that upper trendline as a way of entering the bullish move for the price action came back and supported by some consolidation and continued rallying up ....wow using technicals you can tell whher e== the market is going indeed ...nonetheless thanks al lot follow my channelsearch 'oletrades'
