Recommended is using the Three Line Break Charts in conjuction with Candlestick Charts.
Also recommended is starting out with Monthly compressed Charts.

Line Break Charts are always calculated based on the Closing Prices.
Therefore the Conditions are also on the Close.

The Conditions are:

First.              If the Price exceeds the previous Line's High Price, a new White(Thin) Line is drawn.

Second.        If the Price falls below the previous Line's Low Price, a new Black(Bold) Line is drawn.

If the Price does not rise nor fall below the previous Line, nothing is drawn.

Third.            If a Rally is powerfull enough to form 3 consequtive White(Thin) Lines, then Price
                      must FALL below the lowest point of the last 3 White(Thin) Lines before
                      a new Black(Fat) Line is drawn.

Fourth.          If a Sell-Off is powerfull enough to form 3 consequtive Black(Fat) Lines, then Price
                      must RISE below the lowest point of the last 3 Black(Bold) Lines before
                      a new White(Thin) Line is drawn. 
 
Than start out with a Monthly Plot.

PricePlot.     Use the Three Line Break Plot option for the Base Security's indicator Type.
                      Open a Chart and right-click the Base Security for its Properties.
                      On the Color/Style TAB, Click to select the Three Line Break for Plotting method
                      (the Price Style) and click OK.
