Guest Post: 45 Degree Trendline

Posted on June 4th, 2007
Written by Mr. White Folks

I’m lifting a section of Dorsey’s website to explain how I use the 45 degree trend line.
Bullish Support Line.
Serves as a guide for the up trend of a stock. Has a habit of acting like a brick wall. Stocks will often come right down to the bullish support line and then bounce off.

I was stopped out of my 1st trade this morning (red 1). My risk was extremely small (5 cents). The second trade (light blue 2) did not allow me a low risk entry. I watched as oil continued to climb without me.

I’ve been experimenting with different ways to use the PnF charts. With this particular setup (5/22), you have a gap down on the 5′ chart. A common strategy is to wait for the gap to fill, and then go short. As you can see from the 5′ view, it never filled. [...]

Trader-X had an interesting play with BIDU. It gapped down with the rest of the market, and rallied all day.

The Chairman is posting dummy trades again, and I am going to embark on a little experiment. What I would like to do is take his dummy trade of the day, and display it on a point and figure chart. I think it may prove to be useful, but only time will tell.
