#22402 RE: lowtrade #22401

Thanks low, I know what you're saying and I know what a black candle is, and I realize that this stuff isn't just a science but is also an art. I also get the purple & blue thing and I'm very comfortable nowadays (with special thanks to you) making such judgment calls on a chart eval... but, my main question is, why did you pretty much disregard the black candlestick?

Was it in order to get the look & feel you were perceiving from the chart... or was it another reason, such as a black candle not being very valid due to its nature and therefore you wanted your trendline to hit its closing price?

Or would you draw a line another time where you DO use the top of the black candle body instead of the bottom of it? See what I mean? Just wondering you had a reason re: black candle, or no and this completely falls under the "art" category?

I'm only talking about the 5/31 black candle as it relates to your upper downward trendline, nothing else. Since, if a person uses that top black candle body then suddenly the entry price would be around 14.50 instead of 14 which is a huge % difference.

Any advice on that, or is that trendline more of just a blue/purple thing and you had to cut through the "bottom" of the 5/31 candle to create the look-n-feel on the chart that you wanted? No other reason?

I know I'm being picky, but this is how some people learn... by hearing the specifics on a point that is vague ;-)

If it's just the "art" factor, then no other explanation is needed as I completely understand that (just reply with "art" if so, lol)

Here's a visual of my question regarding why not use the top of the black candle body, same as you use the top of a red candle body. Is it because you want to use the "closing price" of a black candle versus using the "open" of a red candle since the black one finished higher than the prior day whereas a red one did not?
