Using Daily OHLC Quadrangles to Forecast Trend Continuation or Reversal
Summary
This indicator draws a quadrangle from the daily open, high, close, and low, while being intended for use on hourly charts. The described method visually compares the shape of the latest figure with its base. A narrowing smaller than the base is treated as a signal that the prevailing trend may continue by at least the base's size. An expansion larger than the base is interpreted as a possible reversal of similar minimum magnitude, while roughly equal base and ending widths suggest a correction or flat movement.
The document gives several numbered shape examples to illustrate these interpretations, but provides no statistical testing, chart data, or performance results. The forecast depends on visual comparison and should be understood as a heuristic rather than a validated rule. It does not specify how to measure the figure consistently, manage risk, or resolve ambiguous patterns, and its stated hourly timeframe scope may limit generalization.
Key ideas
- The indicator constructs a quadrangle using daily open, high, close, and low prices.
- It is designed for analysis on hourly timeframes.
- A narrower ending shape is interpreted as potential trend continuation when it is smaller than the base.
- An expansion beyond the base is treated as a possible trend reversal, while similar widths suggest a correction.
- The document illustrates the pattern rules but supplies no performance evidence or objective measurement procedure.
