Frequency of Occurrence of Pullbacks in the Markets

According to recent studies on a universe of tens of thousands of graphic patterns (27,000), the chance of a pullback occurring after a support breakout is approximately one in two.

Going into more precise details, these studies indicate that the probability of occurrence of a pullback is 57%. That is, in 57 out of every 100 support breakouts, the price will return to the broken support in the following 30 days (obviously, in 43% of cases, this return will not occur).

In addition, we can estimate that the price will drop during the 5 days after the breakout. Of course, all these data are averages, as you can guess. It does not mean that, after all the support breakouts, the market will drop just for 5 days.

Financial Options – Types and Example

A financial option is a financial derivative that involves a contract to buy or sell an underlying asset, such as a stock, currency pair, commodity or other, which grants the buyer the right to buy or sell the agreed underlying asset at a future date previously agreed, depending on whether it is a call option or a put option.

The main characteristics of an option are indicated by its own name. The term ‘option’ refers precisely to the fact that the buyer of this financial derivative has the right (has the option) to execute the provisions of the contract.

This well-known principle of physics was applied by Andrews in his trading and in fact, he gave a seminar called “Action-Reaction Course“, which allowed him to earn a lot of money. 

In this course, Andrew presented a methodology that made it possible to decompose the market trend by dividing it into two equidistant channels which in the graph looked similar to a trident, hence the name of this technique.
