High/Lows
Trend highs occur once price makes ‘x’ successive lows after the
high bar, where ‘x’ is the variable.
Trend lows occur once price makes ‘x’ successive highs after the
low bar, where ‘x’ is the variable.
Where the bars open or close is not relevant.
On the following chart we use 2 as our variable; 2 bar trend
high followed by a 2 bar trend low.

How to draw in short term trends
or waves using trend points
Here we have drawn in waves or short term trends using 2 bar
trend high/lows.

In the case of the chart using pivot points to determine the
waves, we show how using a 2 bar trend filters out smaller
waves.

The higher the variable used the more noise you’ll filter out.
For example, using a 5 bar trend will filter out more noise than a
3 bar trend.
