Yuki,
the trendlines posted this morning were automatic, some formula was
drawing them, not me [I am responsible for the formula, not for the
results of the formula]
The results are unique [just imagine a formula with multiple
outputs !!!] as they should be.
I do not draw trendlines manually, it is not sure that I will be
objective, I prefer the automatic ones.

TA is nothing but a set of rules, simple or complicated, steady or
variable, but rules. When you write zig(H,3) you mean zig(H,3), not
zig(H,2.5) or zig(H,3.5).
Trading is fundamentally different, you may buy/sell even without
rules [to be more specific, there is no need to express the hidden
rules of your trading sentiment]
Bridge is a game, I have no experience, when other students were
learning Bridge in the university I was involved with more tough
games [horse races for example].
In TA there is no need to completely ignore the rules, perhaps there
is a need for better TA to cover these fast changes.
Anyway, when I speak for TA I am [and will be] always aligned to the
rules, else TA does not exist for me.
