Why the selloff Today? You never know when or what is going to change investor sentiment. That is why it is always prudent to have safety stop’s at levels that tell you prices should not be moving back down through. If you’re trying to figure out what to do with lower trading positions, take one step back and ask, “what does this chart tell me?” If it is not a good bullish chart, close it out. First, that puts money back into your account as cash so that you have a much better perspective as to what to be doing next. This is why we recommend Trend Analysis.
Today’s lower trading does not indicate Any major change of investor sentiment, the trend is still above the 3 T-line, let alone the T-line. Until there is a confirmed sell signal, the selling days add strength to the uptrend. As long as profit-taking continues as the trend moves higher, exuberance is not participating. Continue to stay long utilizing the simple candlestick trend indicators. The T-line remains a valuable trend tool when a trend has both bullish and bearish days. The nature of the market remains the same, the strong sectors remain strong, the weak sectors remain weak. This is much more obvious when utilizing the candlesti
The weakness illustrated in the NASDAQ and S&P 500 over the past couple of trading days still demonstrated an uptrending factor, they could not close below the 3T-line let alone the T-line. Today’s positive trading in those indexes are currently negating any of the indecisiveness over the past few trading days. The Dow continues its steady uptrend. The prognosis remains the same, as long as the indexes continue to trade above the T-line, the uptrend is in progress. Healthy profit-taking along the way solidifies the uptrend by indicating the lack of exuberance in this market.
Candlestick charts provide an immense amount of information over and above any other charting technique. The color of the candles become a much more clear indication of what is occurring in investor sentiment. This is illustrated in today’s trading, the indexes opening very positive but now pulling back. The transportation index is selling off hard. A simple trend analysis technique is witnessing a major index or two trading lower while another index or two are trading higher. This equates to rotation in the market indexes versus a major change of investor sentiment. This is why we recommend Trend Analysis.

The nature of the trend has not changed. The Dow is up strong, the NASDAQ is lower, indicating no change of investor sentiment, merely rotations from sector to sector. And/or profit-taking, which is good during an uptrend. This keeps the exuberance out of the trend, making the trend more solid. Use the T-line as your ultimate trend reversal indication.
These are market conditions where candlestick charts reveal where the strong price moves are occurring. The NASDAQ is up, the transportation index is down, the Dow is flat. There is no change of investor sentiment. The trend continues and it is a healthy trend in the sense that there is no exuberance. This type of trend allows candlestick charts to perform as expected and with a much higher degree of probability that they will be profitable. This makes portfolio/trade management very simple.

Secondly, with those funds freed up in the account, an investor has a much better analytical strategy available.
