Technical analysts do not always agree how to define pivot levels of support and resistance. They do not always agree which points to join to draw a trend line. They do not agree on how to set targets from trend line breaks. With all this subjectivity it is impossible to test the effectiveness and profitability of trading using trend lines. From a desire to find more representative points of pivot, we found through study an objective way to draw trend lines. First they were horizontal support and resistance lines. Then with sloping lines we found we were able to project future support and resistance levels from our automatically generated Power Lines and then Power Channels. In this talk, Trevor Neil will show you how to use a constant approach to isolating support and resistance pivots. How to generate a series of lines which have proven predictive characteristics. From this a systematic approach has been developed and will be covered in full today.

Trevor Neil?s Sentiment Candles (TNSC) is an analysis and trading technique developed for modern markets and for the future. It is created to take advantage of new and changed market conditions. Classic Candlestick charting was developed specifically for a type of market which does not exist virtually anywhere now and will die out completely soon. In Classic Candlestick charting the position of the close is crucially important to the interpretation of the sentiment of a candlestick pattern. But today and increasingly tomorrow, markets have several official closes or no close at all. The basis for Classic Candlestick charting does not hold up for trading in modern times. TNSC reads the sentiment of the Candle in a different way which does reveal its meaning and can be turned into clear trading messages. TNSC has been developed for short and long term trading of modern markets which do not just have short exchange traded sessions. This is a new trader's tool for the new world and for the next decade.
