The Instantaneous Trendline by John F. Ehlers, Ph.D.
The Instantaneous Trendline by John F. Ehlers, Ph.D. Is it possible to have an instantaneous trendline? To say that a trendline is “instantaneous” may be presumptuous, but because you can compute a continuous trendline with modern technology and thus assess the action in the markets, the term is somewhat appropriate. A market can be in two modes — a trend mode and a cycle mode. That means you can describe the general market as a combination of the two. If you apply a simple moving average (SMA) over the period of a dominant cycle, the dominant cycle component can be completely eliminated.
