Point to Point Lines Don't Adjust to Time Frame


TomTeej

Question

Hi there,

Wondered if anyone could troubleshoot this or let me know if I'm doing something wrong?

Point to point lines don't seem to adjust when I drop the time frame. For example, I have one showing a breach with the daily candles:

But dropping to hourly candles, it's nowhere near:

Surely these should adjust like the channels do, or am I missing something, using the wrong tool?

Thanks for any help,

Tom

Hi @TomTeej

Thanks for the query

The point to point drawing tool remains on the same points regardless of the timeframe. Moving from one time frame to the other will result in different candles at your specified points i.e a point on a 4 hr timeframe will have a different corresponding candle on a 1 hr timeframe. I would suggest trying out one of the indicators, e.g we recently added the SuperTrend. All the best

Hi Anda,

But SuperTrend isn't the same thing.

If I use a channel on a 4 hour, for example. like so:

It adapts to the same price points when dropping time frames:

Is there not a line that can behave like this? I suppose being attached to the price action, rather than stretched between two points in time?

Cheers,

Tom

Found I can use the trend line, just annoying it stretches across everything...!

    • I think his partnership with Bitget is actually a success considering considering he also won 2 ballon d'or  and Bitget has continuously grown I the process. I feel more 20 million registered users in 5 years since inception is unprecedented. 
    • That's a wise call and it's important to also confirm that the exchange of your chosen should be in compliance and perhaps licensed in your country. 
    • Investing in crypto could be challenging especially the Fear of Missing out Lambo. This mostly affect traders trading strategy and ideology. Predicting the right time to buy is always cumbersome and that is why many analyst advise DCA because it curtails FOMO and gives you a long-term crypto trading mentality. In crypto Dollar Cost Averaging involves investing the same amount of money in a target token at regular intervals over a certain period of time, regardless of price. This will help to control volatility on your portfolios and minimize FOMO For example when you decide to invest $100 on a token and invest $10 daily or weekly or monthly till you fulfilled you $100 target investment on the token irrespective of the price of the token. This strategy helps a crypto trader to build his portfolio over the long term thereby he/she is not bothered by short-term volatility in the broader markets. This strategy mostly favours low-budget traders in building a strong portfolio but the problem most normally encounter is exchange minimum trading amount. One analyst advised on how to mitigate this was to accumulate on exchange that has lower trading fees and later send to where you desire to hold. He also noted that some of this exchanges are good in listing good projects for you to be among the early birds. Do you think DCA is the best method to accumulate token and which exchange offers the lowest tradeable balance and trading fees?
