📈 Trend & Channel — every chart with its lines drawn

Every ETF, stock and futures contract with its trend lines, its channel and its ABC channel already drawn on its own candles — as a list you can filter and sort. You do not fit anything: each row arrives with the lines found overnight.

💡 The idea in one picture Imagine laying a ruler on the highs and another on the lows of a chart. Where the ruler touches several turning points without a candle poking through, that is a trend line. Two parallel rulers holding the price between them is a channel. This page does it for every ticker at once and tells you which ones are at a decision right now.

How to read the pictures

ItemWhat it is
CandlesThe ticker's own daily (or weekly) bars, ending on the newest bar the library holds.
Trend lineThe best straight line through recent swing highs (resistance) and through recent swing lows (support). Kept only if it passes through at least two swing points with no swing piercing the wrong side, spans at least six bars and stays at a realistic distance from the price. ×N is how many swing points sit on it.
ChannelA parallel channel built off a clean trend line. The far wall is the offset where at least two finer swings cluster (a ? means it rests on one swing only). Inside is the share of closes that sat between the walls since the base line began — the test that separates a channel from a fit.
ABC channelA second way to build it: the main edge runs through two swing points (A and C), the parallel edge through a real swing between them (B). It often disagrees with the fitted channel; when it does, the geometry is genuinely ambiguous.
Faint extensionThe same line carried forward a few bars so you can see where it sits against the price. Geometry, not a forecast.

The state words

LineMeaning
on itThe price is sitting on the line now.
nearClose to it (the % is shown).
farNot in play yet.
closed aboveThe price closed through it from below.
closed belowThe price closed through it from above.
ChannelMeaning
at the top / at the bottomPrice is at a wall.
mid-channelNo edge nearby.
above it / below itThe price has left the channel.

Extra words: closed through it N bars ago (a break in the last three bars) and tested it, held (touched and did not close through).

What "live" means

Live ranks how close a decision is: a close through a line in the last three bars, sitting on a line, or standing at a channel wall. It does not say which way the price will go — no column on this page carries a direction, a target or a score.

The questions (chips)

Click as many as you want — a ticker must pass all that are on. The number on each is how many pass.

ChipPasses when…
On a trend lineThe price is sitting on its resistance or support line.

Channel far wall confirmedThe far wall rests on at least two swings (no "?").

The page's address remembers the market, bars, filters and sort, so a filtered page can be linked.

🎓 Pro tipThe most informative filter is a disagreement. When the fitted channel and the ABC channel point opposite ways the geometry is genuinely ambiguous — a poor place to lean on a line. When they agree and the far wall is confirmed, the picture has more behind it.
⚠ Whether a line touch predicts the next bar has not been measuredEverything on this page says where the swing points are. A line is a place to watch, not a promise.

A routine that works

  1. Sort Most live first; skim the top 20 pictures.
  2. Tick Channel far wall confirmed to keep the cleaner geometry.
  3. Open the ones you like on the TA Chart and look at the averages and CCI.
  4. Check the same ticker on the Options Chart: does a wall or the gamma flip sit near the line?
