Personalize charts and follow trends with the TradingView app.
Even if this is your first chart, you can't go wrong with a trend line. It is a beginner-friendly way of modeling price movement and one of the most commonly used chart patterns for de- and swing trading.
1. To start learning, select the "Lines" tool on the left toolbar.
2. You may also like the magnet mode. In this case, your lines will be anchored to the nearest OHLC points for greater accuracy.
3. For a downtrend before a price drop, known as a swing high, start the line at the local high (point 1). Click at the desired starting point of the line and try to draw the line through as many highs as possible. Click on the chart again to complete the line.
