Arrow Charts Theory
In Arrow Charting we attempt to look at the price action of a market on three different levels
simultaneously. The red arrows represent the strongest forces acting on the market, the black
arrows represent moderate forces, and finally the blue arrows correspond to the weaker forces.
If an arrow is pointing upward, then this means that "support" should be encountered if the
price falls to the low of the day over which that particular arrow is drawn. Conversely,
"resistance" should be found at the high of any day under a downward pointing arrow. When the
market reaches these critical levels there is often a few bars on the chart where one can
observe a battle going on between the forces propelling the price in the direction that it's
traveling and the opposing forces (strong, moderate or weak) symbolized by the arrows. By
observing this "battle" and where the market goes in its wake, the technical analyst can gain
insight into the trend that the market is taking. The red arrows tend to signify longer term
forces, the black arrows intermediate term forces and the blue arrows represent shorter term
forces. Thus, when viewing a finished arrow chart, the technical analyst sees a "three
dimensional" perspective of the price action instead of the traditional "one dimensional" view
seen on ordinary bar charts or even Candlestick charts.
