Important Points in Base line and Lagging Span
・ “Border line” - The ideal top-bottom pattern that
introduces the daily change concept of “26 days” from the
base line to the lagging span.


Base line: the middle price between the highest and
lowest price in the past 26 days including the current
day (highest price in a period of 26 days + lowest price
in a period of 26 days) ÷2
Lagging span: current day’s closing price projected into
the past by 26 days including the current day

When the price makes an upturn
within 26 days from the expected low
"a," the base line goes up in 26 days
from the expected low "a," and
therefore stock prices tend to go up.
When the price goes below the
expected low "a" within 26 days from
"a," the base line cannot go up and
provides resistance to the increase in
stock prices, which increases the
possibility of the price going down.
When the price does not go down
below the expected low "a" and makes
an upturn after a period of 26 days, the
base line moves sideways and then
drops to become resistant to the rising
of stock prices.
The softer the downtrend, the stronger the market (base line). Why is that?
Stock price
Base line
When a dip to "b" is strong relative to the
expected low "a," the leveling period of
the base line tends to be extended. In that
period, if the stock price does not go back
up and exceed the high, the high of the
base line during the calculation period
becomes lower, thereby causing the base
line to drop again.
Ⅰ
a
26
b
When a dip to "b" is weak relative to the
expected low "a," it is relatively more likely
that the price will go up above the recovery
high. Therefore, the high of the base line
during the calculation period go higher, and
the uptrend of the base line continues,
making it likely to create a stronger market.

When the price makes an upturn
within 26 days from the expected low
"a" after hitting "b," then the lagging
span exceeds the stock price. (upturn
or buy signal).
When the price hits "b," which is
lower than the expected low "a"
within 26 days from "a," then the
lagging span remains below the stock
price. (continued downturn or sell
signal).
When the price does not go down
below the expected low "a" but takes
an upturn after hitting "b" in a period
of over 26 days from "a," the lagging
span is highly likely to go down below
the stock price again. (downturn after
upturn, sell signal).
The softer the downtrend, the stronger the market (lagging span). Why is that?
Stock price
Lagging span
When the dip to "b" is strong relative to
the expected low "a," the lagging span
tends to touch the stock price of 26 days
ago and thus is more likely to fall below
the stock price. There is a high
possibility of becoming a downturn.

When the dip to "b" is soft relative to

An ideal case is that the
line does not go down
below the base line and
makes an upturn in
about 26 days from the
second lowest bottom.

An ideal case is that
the line does not go
up above the base line
but drops again about
26 days from the
second highest peak.

The Strong Border Line Pattern and the Temporal Loss Cut
・ The value goes above or falls below the recovery high or the immediate low within 26 days.
26
The base line continues to rise,
and the stock price shows a
strong up trend.

 A rise from the second lowest bottom or a drop from the second highest
peak is often accompanied by a gap.
 Double of the increment or decrement of the initial move becomes an
equilibrium point.
