Demistifying Tom DeMark Trend Lines

My simple interpretation of what the article says regarding TD Lines (Tom DeMark Lines) is as follows:

TD Points

To draw TD Lines one first must identify TD Points (Tom DeMark Points). In all cases, the bar to the right of the TD Point being tested must be complete.

A TD Low Point (Tom DeMark Low Point) is a low bar which has a bar with a higher low immediately before and after it.

Therefore, when the bar before and/or after the low bar you are testing (to see if it qualifies as a TD Low Point) has the same low (double or triple bottom), the point does not qualify as a TD Low Point.

A TD High Point (Tom DeMark High Point) is a high bar which has a bar with a lower high immediately before and after it.

Therefore, when the bar before and/or after the high bar you are testing (to see if it qualifies as a TD High Point) has the same high (double or triple top), the point does not qualify as a TD High Point.

TD Lines

To draw the current lower TD Line (called the TD Demand Line), connect the the next most recent TD Low Point that is lower than most recent TD Low Point, to the most recent TD Low Point, then extend the line to the right. The lower TD Line must slope upward.

To draw the current upper TD Line (called the TD Supply Line), connect the next most recent TD High Point that is higher than most recent TD High Point, to the most recent TD High Point, then extend it to the right. The upper TD Line must slope downward. (www.forum.vtsystems.com)
