TrendSpider will be presenting a new innovation in timescale price charts called the Raindrop Chart (TM). Raindrop Charts enable traders to visualize volume, price and sentiment changes in a new way by combining volume profile with candles themselves. In this presentation, the main characteristics of the Raindrop Chart will be dissected and compared to a normal candle chart. We will also review some interesting patterns that show volume flow throughout a trading session.

Attendees are encouraged to download their white paper of the same title prior to the webcast, to learn more about Raindrop charts.

He will discuss why these errors often get made and review the proper intention of several popular technical tools.  Mr. Thrasher will conclude with a review of the financial markets, sharing his personal insights and analysis for where we stand in today’s ever changing market landscape.
