EURUSD : the yellow line is not a trendline
The yellow line is NOT a TREND line. As I have said many times, I do not believe in trendlines.
We should have asked, there are so many 'methods' out there teaching us how to trade FX - but just NONE of them is mathematics-related. Some may say Fibonacci is maths, but I think it is just numbers.
Calculus is an important branch of mathematics. It is a study of change and the rate of change in mathematical function. The rate of change is the SLOPE or how steep the line is.
So the yellow line is the slope. Since I know the slope, I only need one point to place the slope. Which is why it is not a trendline. A trendline needs two points.
Good luck.
