The following demonstrates the presentation format and content...

 

Andrew Baxter: "The trading range is defined as the distance between the high

and the low for that particular trading session.

In our schematic on the left, what we can see is that our trading range is widening,

as it is on the right hand side also.  Here we would be looking at positive closes,

and expanding trading range which is likely to see a continuation of our trend.

Similarly, on the far side, a negative closes and expanding trading range we are

likely to see our trend continue.  Both of these patterns suggest that there is an

increase in momentum in the underlying direction, and that is reflected by the fact

that our trading range is growing.  We opened here and we have closed up here. 

The previous day we opened here and closed at this level.  So we can see that the

acceleration or momentum is increasing through that widening trading range."

 

Andrew Baxter: "In contrast, we can see the opposite when we get a contracting

trading range.  We still may have positive closed, but the contracting trading range

may be showing that the trend is about to reverse.

Likewise with our negative closes on the far side, together with the contracting

trading range, we may be seeing the trend about to reverse there. 

Both of these patterns are showing that the underlying trends may be running out

off puff and therefore likely to reverse."
