Die Idee in einfachen Worten

How big was that move? How long did it take? Measuring past moves gives realistic expectations for the next one.

So wird gerechnet

Click a start and an end point.

Change = end price − start price
Percent = change ÷ start price × 100
Bars = number of candles between the points

Anwendung

  • Compare the size of the current move with previous ones.
  • Check whether a target is realistic within your time frame.

Schlüsse ziehen

  • Moves of similar size often repeat (see AB=CD).

Beispiel

The last three rallies in USDJPY each lasted about 12 days and gained 3–4 yen; the current one is at day 10 and 3.2 yen.

Kurse in Beispielen dienen der Veranschaulichung.

Worauf man achten sollte

  • Past moves do not guarantee future ones.
