This web site is dedicated to the art, construction, and interpretation of trendline signals as they relate to stock market charting.
Within these web pages is some discussion about why we believe trendlines are perhaps the most powerful charting tool available.
Before the advent of computers traders, speculators, and investors only had several ways to interpret market activity and that was either ticker tape reading or hand drawn chart construction. For those who did neither the game was much tougher.
If a small investor wanted to step into the big pond, years ago, he probably listened to his brokers advise about what to buy and sell. Today that is less and less the case as the investing public today is more sophisticated than previous generations.
Information flows more easily now and is accessible to the masses quickly. Opinions are everyone's stock in trade, (pardon the pun) and many people don't have the simple skills necessary to profit regularly. Listening to the variety of opinions can be confusing as many pundits practice to deceive.
Due to the technological advances in information gathering and the speed at which it is disseminated much of today's market activity has the same frenetic rhythmn to it as a video game as many people have learned to day trade which is only a click away.
