    I guess you could fool around with them for a decade or so before realizing they are mostly extraneous. They do present a concise picture of history though, which can be useful for many timeframes depending upon what your trading style is.

    I also no longer use charts or indicators.
    What we've divulged should be more than enough to get the ball rolling for you all.

    Not to mention rolling them eyeballs :rolleyes:

    Seriously, haven't we heard enough of these empty chatters? If you got manly balls, man up and walk the talk. Show me some real time trades and I'll judge for myself whether you are a real trader. If you are, I will be your biggest fan.

    Oh, let's not forget, we are talking specifically about trading intraday rangebound price action. So don't try to play cute with me please.

    You decide to go the beggar's route, asking for free advice. So I leave you with the following quote from Tao Te Ching.
    "Those who know don't talk. Those who talk don't know."

    Very well said. I prefer that you don't say anything.

    First, note that it ain't my intention to berate you or your posts. But your comment that you don't "use charts" comes across as little disingenuous.

    Yes, I agree there are other ways to trade besides using charts. But those are more or less reserved for fast scalps. It wouldn't be very suitable for trading in the chop zone.

    Moreover, you haven't given anything to back up your claim. And having seen so many similarly unsubstantiated claims in the past, I can only treat yours as no different from theirs: spam.

    Yeah, that's exactly what I said to you some time ago.

    But IIRC, I said indicators are useless. I never discounted the importance of charts.

    I'd say more like ... a pretender.

    Don't use charts/indi's but I won't tell what I do use nonsense.
