    No one knows what will happen next. The best we can do is know what is more likely to happen next.

    Great quote-LOL, but true;
    another helpful hint= thats why they named it '' trend following.'' IT's NOT named trend prediction!!

    I have a trading book; that chicago trader warned ''the smarter you are the longer it takes.LOL'' True rebuke

    Wisdom is profitable to direct; good question original poster T-7................................
