Time Frame Analysis In order to succeed in any market arena, you must have a firm understanding of how the time frame upon which you are focusing your efforts plays a role in determining your success in any position.

Toni’s Building Blocks Support/Resistance Levels Pace (aka Momentum) Trend Development

Support & Resistance Support & Resistance levels are price zones in the market where a security is liable to react in some manner that affects the trend which is in play as the support or resistance level hits.

Support & Resistance Support & Resistance levels must be thought of as zones and not exact price levels.

Support & Resistance Two Main Types of Support & Resistance used in technical analysis: Prior highs or lows Prior zones of congestion

Price S/R Notice not exact prices… support becomes resistance when broken Chart © 2008 IntelliChart

Congestion S/R Notice not exact prices… support becomes resistance when broken Chart © 2008 IntelliChart

Pace / Momentum Pace is a measurement of the momentum of a trend move in a security as compared to not only the average move, but also the most recent move on a given time frame.

Measuring Pace

Pace / Momentum Slower than average moves will often lead to continuations of the prior trend (A-B in pace chart). Currency Name, Convention (Base/Quote (Counter Currency), Symbol

Gradual Momentum Insert chart of a security showing pace…. Chart © 2008 IntelliChart

Pace / Momentum Stronger than average moves will tend to correct more slowly, by either basing or pulling back gradually (B-C in pace chart). They can also correct by rounding off at highs or lows in order to shift the momentum. Currency Name, Convention (Base/Quote (Counter Currency), Symbol

Pace / Momentum Comparable moves back and forth will usually create trading ranges until the momentum within the range shifts once again (E-J in pace chart). Currency Name, Convention (Base/Quote (Counter Currency), Symbol

The Nature of Trends Trends are the primary direction of price movement at any given time. They are repetitive, but the placement of a pattern in the context of the larger trend is key to identifying target levels or to assess if the setup is even viable in the first place.

Trend Development Most trend develop with two or three waves of buying or selling before a larger correction of that trend takes place.
