    The fact of the matter is, every person is different - one person can look at a 5 sec chart and enter a trade in the right direction at or near a recent low/high..while another person will look at the same chart and do the exact opposite!
    Who will make money on the trade, and more importantly, why?

    No disrespect to Mr Brooks, as i don't know the man personaly, but after many years of winning and losing - having bought and tried a god few "courses" years ago - the conclusion I have come to is,

    Trading is as simple as ABC - but - the majority will take it to XYZ!

    When you get to the stage where you really understand what this means, then I think you will agree with me 100% and kick yourself in the ass for wasting so many years and so much money!

    Should def exit on 3rd chart, but I would imagine your stop was moved automatically to keep the dollar sign green as the charts progressed - if not you have a bit of explaining to do :)
    For an oldtimer you are very good at coloring, but the main color is right, and that is all that matters - nice trade.

    NT, I don't think I ever "followed" anyone, but I have clicked on your name, and for others, here is the reason why - as I think it is important!

    Not because you posted a nice color picture :)
    Not because you posted a trade showing a profit - actually, I prefer to see losing trades!
    Not because you ride a harley and probably have a big long beard:)

    I decided to follow us as you stated you are an old timer, and I truly believe you can always learn something of value from a person older than you - there is no substitute for real experience, and as i said previously - btw, I am not young myself, but not as old as you I think :)

    I believe that you were once a fool :)

    What if I show you something simple that can make you money and you can not make use of what I show you - what does that say about me, and more importantly, about you?

    If you can simplify your English so that is understandable, now that would be the first thing to do. :D

    I think you are saying that you could show me something simple to make me money, but i will not be able to make use of it...is that correct?

    LF, as VA has put it up to me, here is a section of what can be used to extract money from the market - show it to your friend as I think he might be interested?

    I am obviously not going to show too much as I am not charging any money, but if anyone makes money from what I show then please feel free to PM me and I will gladly accept a voucher (or bank transfer :) ) to buy myself a new pair of trousers, car, house, or even a small jet - depends on how well you understand simplicity and how much money you have to trade with!

    What this is not.

    It is not a standard chart.
    It is not a futures contract.
    It is not a complex combination of several instruments.

    What this is.

    It is a bar chart - a section of a layout for assisting with decision making as to when to buy/sell and when to sell/buy, with a pre-defined stop loss level in case it does not work out, which of course will happen some of the time, but not all of the time :)

    It is a stock symbol - go figure as it is very easy!

    It is as simple as it gets.

    Oh yeh - I will accept a harley as well as I might take NT up on his offer :)

    So, you either really don't understand simplicity, or you don't have much money - which is it :)
