How to draw trendlines methodically for Continuation Patterns (CP)?

Rules for drawing Trendline for CP:

· Rules for drawing Trendline for CP is different from drawing trendlines for Valley’s and Peak’s.

· Most importantly, A Continuation Patterns can’t be used with valley and peak to form a trendline.

· It’s possible to see CPs before a new valley is printed. They will be irrelevant on how we draw trendlines since we are not allowed to use them to connect trendlines.

· We’ll only use CPs to draw a more aggressive trendline when 3 or more consecutive CPs have been created.

· So, we can create trendlines using 2 valley’s, 2 peaks or 3 CPS. As simple as that. You cannot form trendline using 1 valley and 1 or 2 CPs, likewise you can’t draw trendline using 1 peak and 1 or 2 CPs.

· We can create Trendline if we find 3 CPs in the chart continuously. Once the 3rd CP is created, we’re allowed to draw a more aggressive trendline by connecting them since we’ll consider price is probably over extended.

· Once this agressive trendline is broken, a new supply/demand zone will be created.

When Over-Extension Is Resetted

1. If price has been printing 3 or more consecutive CPs, we’ll consider that that timeframe might be in over-extension.

2. If after a series of consecutive CPs price creates a new valley, over-extension will be resetted and we’ll be allowed to draw a new trendline connecting latest two valleys
