Support and Resistance: Traders could open a long position when a stock's price reaches the channel’s lower trend line and exit the trade when price nears the upper channel line. A stop-loss order should be placed slightly below the lower trend line to prevent losses if the security’s price abruptly reverses and also vice versa .
Breakouts: Traders could buy a stock when its price breaks above the upper channel line of an channel . It is prudent to use other technical indicators to confirm the breakout. For example, traders could require that a significant increase in volume accompanies the breakout and that there is no overhead resistance on higher time frame charts
