Strength Of Trendlines

[pipsaholic]

Hi,

Can a pro who has been using trendline’s tell me of their experience when usually they are broken or when best to buy or sell off a bounce or when they break? After trading for 1 year I find it breaks usually on the 4th or 5th bounce more on the 5th bounce break and the odd occasion 3rd while the 2nd bounce is the strongest.

Thanks.

I usually expect a complete break to enter a trade. Nevertheless, it's not unusual for a price to retrace back to below the trendline even after the breakthrough has occurred.
