Quadrant Lines
are a series of horizontal lines splitting the highest and lowest
values of a security's prices into four equal sections. They provide
for day trading methods yet another set of useless lines that probably
do no more than clutter the screen.
To calculate them, find
the highest high and the lowest low during the time period under
question. The top line is drawn horizontally thru the highest price
during the time period and the bottom line is drawn horizontally
thru the lowest price during the time period. The remaining three
lines are then drawn by dividing the the two outer lines into four
equal sections. The center line (a.k.a. the "mean") is usually shown
too.
