I've been writing some about development lines recently and noted my remark, in a number of of the articles, of the suffering usage of that important charting tool. derivative warrant I do not have any illusions that a couple of articles by a somewhat unknown author may have any influence on the use of these lines; but when just a couple of traders see the value of lines and e-mini trading, then I guess I have inked my job.
Development Direction
You would believe that a sharp e-mini development direction (one significantly more than 60 degrees) would create a lengthier sustained e-mini development, on first consideration. But many experts (Bulkowski and Murphy) alongside some less extensive back testing on my portion, shows that sharp sides generally result in significantly smaller trends. (and thus, less profit) I considered that some, and the result makes sense in that a big number of traders are needed to simultaneously business in exactly the same path for the development to carry on at a sharp direction; if we put aside the sporadic low volume move, a considerable amount of trading to at least one part of the market is expended in sharp sides and to keep that direction and depth of a tendency whole would entail an extremely vast level of participation by individuals in a given e-mini contract. Is that probably? Certainly not, because the sharp development stage continues there would have been a significant number of traders who'd decide the market has protected an important amount of property and look to get gains, while the others would decide (at some price level) that the market has achieved overbought or oversold levels and look to business in the alternative direction. Sharp direction traits tend to be now more short-lived than their flatter angled e-mini trends. The very best traits come out to be traits in the 30-40% range.
Length and Variations
The length of a tendency relative to efficiency turns out to be less of a surprise. Extended lines tend to perform much better than short lines. Without major getting or offering force (depending upon whether the development point is moving up or down) the market can keep a relatively regular stage of shopping for or offering in exactly the same direction. That level of "irregular equilibrium" (a term of my very own invention) is more sustainable and effects in lengthier lines protecting more ground. Provided similar development direction, it stands to reason that smaller development lines will protect less ground. No actual shock in that remark, but how many individuals really take some time to consider development point period and how it might influence possible profitability?
When discussing support and resistance (SAR) it's been unearthed that the more touches and following price rejection over the SAR, the better quality the point becomes. Again, it will come as no real surprise that exactly the same relationship is valid for trends. At the start of my trading job, in the early'80's, the "old-timers" insisted that the more touches along a range would create a development point that was more robust. I just acknowledged it as an undeniable fact, and as it happens that the more peak or pit "touches" along a tendency point that result in price rejection, the greater the possible revenue in the development line. However, development lines with less than 3 touches had a larger likelihood of being breached. (Bulkowski and Farmer) I guess common reason would shape the facts of the prediction, as more successful checks of a tendency point that result in price rejection produces, at the very least, a psychological picture in traders'minds that the point will prove, in the long term, to become a hard task to breach.
In summary, I've stated that sharp direction development lines tend to be less profitable that slow sloping development lines. More, I've stated that lengthier development lines with increased touches causing price rejection tend to be better quality than less handled development lines. While neither of the probabilities alone will dramatically change trading effects, they certainly may change some of one's trading choices when considered in aggregate. More, that collection on development lines has been loaded with related findings that when included together could, certainly, have a profound effect on what you business development lines.
