While they look similar, a trend line break on many (not just one) random charts should end up being a loser over the long run, factoring in spreads etc. Now a trend line break on many real charts... over time should be a winner if we believe that the market participants will act upon it, generating higher/lower prices. Unlike randomly generated prices at every point in time which are random.
In hindsight, the random chart looks tradeable, but let me ask you... if you know ahead of time that prices will be random... would you trade a random generated chart breakout without seeing the whole chart?
Of course not, because you know the randomness is "hard-wired". Over time with spread you will lose.
In real trading, we hope to capitalize on repeated patterns that we hopefully perceive early enough when they are somewhat self-fulfilling prophecies because of current beliefs of support, resistance, and trends.
