From the chart above technical analyst constructs a rising channel by drawing a lower trend line that mainly connects the swing lows and an upper channel line that connects strictly the swing high.

However, traders and investors make good use of stop orders placed slightly below the lower trend-line to prevent losses if peradventure the commodity price reverses.
