Lines
Trend by angle
A trend line that shows its angle, useful for comparing how steep different trends are.
Die Idee in einfachen Worten
A trend that gets steeper is accelerating; one that flattens is tiring. Seeing the angle as a number makes comparisons easy.
So wird gerechnet
Draw like a trend line; the angle is measured on the screen (it changes if you zoom).
angle = arctangent(vertical distance ÷ horizontal distance) on screenAnwendung
- Compare the steepness of successive legs of a trend.
- Very steep angles are rarely sustainable.
Schlüsse ziehen
- Angles depend on the zoom level: compare them only at the same zoom.
Beispiel
The first leg of a rally is drawn at 35°, the second at 55°: the trend has accelerated, which often comes near the end.
Kurse in Beispielen dienen der Veranschaulichung.
Worauf man achten sollte
- Screen angles are not a property of the market itself.
Ein wenig Geschichte
Angle-based analysis is associated with W. D. Gann's work in the early 20th century.
