How to draw and use trendlines 101
"Generally speaking, it is advisable to wait for three confirmed points of contacts before you start putting further attention to a trendline. Most traders make the mistake and connect the first two highs or lows and then get overly excited once price gets there again. However, a trendline is only confirmed if you can get three points of contacts. Whereas connecting two random points is possible at any time at any chart, three points of contacts are no coincidence anymore.
The next question that always comes up is whether you should use the candle-wicks or the candle-bodies to draw the trendlines!? The answer is: confluence”. Whenever you get the best and the most contact points and confluence around your trendline, that’s how you draw it. There are no fixed rules about whether wicks or bodies are better. Just look for a trendline that gives you the most confirmation without beeing violated too much. Having said that, I don’t mind violations of just candle wicks as much as of candle bodies." https://www.tradeciety.com/how-to-use-trendlines/ .... Based on the above there is more 'confludence' or contact points on my chart than Kimble's chart (the white one) since the bottom support line from 2001 is showing massive support on multiple points, which means that my chart of more valid and Gold has already broken above it's down trend line from 2011, my trend line is drawn exactly off of the fixed point (magnet mode) on tradingview, so there is no room for approximation on the placement of the line, the line is drawn in the only place it can be.
