Description

A window is a gap. In an up trend, a window is a gap between the previous high and the current low. In a down trend, a window is a gap between the previous low and the current high.

 

Windows form important support and resistance levels. In an up trend, a pullback that moves through the support level "closes the window." In a down trend, a window is closed by a rally that moves through the resistance level.
