Fig.1.The TrueTL indicators explained on a trading chart.
Some of the trend lines are not visible unless you condense the chart. Also some of the trend lines are in the same level; hence not visible. This is the reason as to why you find that at some point a certain trend line may seem as if it has divided itself into two. If you condense the chart, you will notice that there are some trend lines that are brown in color. These trend lines may be either downward trend lines or the upwards trend lines or both. Then if you look closely, you will see that there are some nodes on some of the trend lines. If you highlight some of the nodes you will find it is a downmax or an upmax. This nodes can occur on the white colored trend lines or the brown colored trend lines. However the downmax and the upmax are found on the yellow trend lines.

- Buy – if a bar/candlestick cross a downtrend line.
After placing any order the trader should place stop levels.
How do the trader distinguish where to place the stop levels? The trader should place take profits of sell orders at the lowest level that the market hit in the previous day. In case of the buy orders, the trader should place take profits at the highest levels of the previous day.
For the stop loss levels, the trader should always constrain himself or herself to a level of 150 points that is 15 pips
