Trendlines on Range, Tick, and Volume Charts

NexusFi · 2018-10-14T20:16:06-04:00

It seems that the most common chart type is a time-based chart (time is on the x-axis). So then why do people bother drawing trendlines on other chart types? Because one trendline may be valid on a time chart, but not valid on the other chart types since the x-axis is non-linear with respect to time.
