Line break charts

Lines (blocks) that extend the trend with every new closing high or low and reverse only when the last few lines are broken.

Die Idee in einfachen Worten

The classic three-line break adds a new line in the trend's direction whenever the close goes beyond the last line. The trend reverses only when the close breaks the extreme of the last three lines.

So wird gerechnet

Built from the closes of the timeframe on screen. Lines to break: 3 by default (⚙).

Up trend: new up line if close > last close; reversal if close < lowest of the last N lines
Down trend: mirror image

Anwendung

  • Spotting trend reversals with fewer false signals than candles.
  • A long run of same-coloured lines = strong trend.

Schlüsse ziehen

  • Lines are not time based: a quiet week can add no line.

Beispiel

US500 daily: eight green lines, then a close below the lowest of the last three lines draws the first red line.

Kurse in Beispielen dienen der Veranschaulichung.

Worauf man achten sollte

  • Reversal signals come late by design.
