The Trend Factors Indicator is designed to project upside resistance levels and downside support levels by multiplying qualified highs, lows, or closes by a series of prescribed ratios.

Once the market has moved up approximately 1.0556 in price from a low, a reference high is identified.  Place the study cross-reference on that high or high day's close.  The Trend Factor Indicator projects down to the support area of .9444, as well as secondary levels.  Conversely, once a market has moved down to approximately .9444 in price from a high, a reference low is identified.  Place the study cross-reference on that low or low day's close.  The Trend Factor Indicator will project up to the resistance area of 1.0556, as well as secondary levels.
