Discuss Gann’s approach to identifying trend continuation patterns in the market.
Discuss Gann’s approach to identifying trend continuation patterns in the market. INTRODUCTION In the Foreword to this Class I made a claim that traders, without looking carefully at market direction, tend to rush into short trades with high percentage moves. Such a response may result from the subconscious influence that the movements of the financial markets has upon our psyches, with the fear ‘I have nowhere to hide’, being the most immediate, the longest lasting and the strongest of these influences, as an investor or trader draws to a close each day. Over the period of the work in this Class, the technical nature of the market in its daily patterns, has been charted, along with the psychological aspects with which the observer must deal. One of the key aspects of this is the use of the power of the financial market and how it is reflected in the behaviour of the man who desires to be in control of the outcome of his trading. What is a reversal pattern and how is it identified? I want to begin by defining what I understand to be a “reversal”. I use the definition because, as I understand it, a reversal is basically when a trend ceases, in whole or in part, and a new trend is initiated – usually with a relatively high level of volatility. The process is ongoing, as each day we make decisions based on what ‘we’ feel rather than what the’market’ is doing. 1. An uptrend that is seen to be intact may be on the verge of becoming a new high (H) or not. Or it may be just an intraday impulse resulting in high point(s). Many times the market recovers from a down move intact (continues the original trend), or for that matter, you may even see an impulse followed by a breakdown of a trend continuation pattern. What this means is that we, traders, as we place trades during these periods, are acting from a very rational point of view.

We expect the market to continue asDiscuss Gann’s approach to identifying trend continuation patterns in the market. What have you read? • Is it a top, a bottom, or a sideways chop? • Do you think it’s a top or bottom? • What’s your opinion of the status of this type of pattern? In light of recent news, what do you think of Gann’s view of what’s next on the market for shares of XYZ? The recent drop has been partly due to pessimism regarding the outlook for the remainder of the year, and the market remains vulnerable to weak economic news or a series of negative news articles that keep reverberating. Should we see a bounce (i.e. retest, breakout, or “reversal”) in the browse around this site or wait for confirmation/dismissal of Gann’s five-leg type for these shares? In light of recently released and widely reported news regarding losses at Caterpillar and J. C. Penney, is it still possible for the market to complete the second leg of the “V” pattern pattern, set up in the pattern, and begin a sustained climb higher? Do you think it’s a top, a bottom, or partly top and partly bottom? Where should we expect this latest swing to end? I believe the Dow will soon fall below 10,000. I’ll keep watching and wait for the second phase of the bottom to set in (we’ve been here before) then I’ll start looking to put some positions on. Looking at your chart I found some longs on LLL and SPY at long-term trend line support. In light of recent news, what do you think of Gann’s view of what’s next on the market for shares of XYZ?

A simple version of trend continuation buying will be a follow through pattern near a trend line and above the previous day’s high/low, or above the previous day’s open. A more complex version would be if the previous day’s low or previous day’s close was not a local low or low from the previous day’s trend.

What would the potential buyer do while waiting for the technical pattern and price to confirm that the pattern is a continuation? The seller will only continue selling out of fear of a trend ending in the direction of the previous day’s trend. Analysts may report the possibility of a trend ending in a free fall, so you may see a rising trendline and a steepening, widening crack/band. These are technical indicators, not financial indicators, but this type of progression could occur depending on how much momentum has been built before the trend ends. This is something that happens internally and is unique to every stock. Technical charts should not be the end all of your thinking when assessing a potential trade. The above is just a list of words that are used to try and describe a trading zone that would occur some time after the trend has ended. click resources ways that a trend might end include failure to make a local high, or fail to make a low after trending up, or if the entire trend line breaks down/ends. I recommend you give the charts a look to get a feel of it. How will you process them when you see a trend that starts building and ends in a freefall? Once you have a good feel for how a trend can end, ask yourself if that is what you are looking for. If the answer is no, move on to a trade that does what it is you want to do. We have the resources to do better than the majority of us can, given that we are self taught, part time and work in an extremely competitive global market. We are very lucky to be a professional fore
