• Bullish weakness: Longer-term trend is bullish. There has been some temporary weakness, but the uptrend is likely to resume
• Bearish strength: Longer-term trend is bearish. There has been some temporary rally, but the downtrend is likely to resume
• Volatility Channels (Horizontal dotted lines) : Markets often retest swings. This is a volatility buffer to allow wiggle room.
• Volatility Channel: Think of the other side of a volatility channel of the distance it would take to close half the position to break even if the remainder was to hit the stop loss
• #n%: Think of it as a rudimentary equity at risk position sizing. It is 1% divided by the distance from the day the swing is recorded to the volatility channel
