  2. Level 6 - puts the bare minimum on the chart to show yes or no, should I get in or stay out.

    Level 7 - does this with many time frames and shows it on a list with colors, so you only get in when everything lines up

    (for swing and position trading stocks)

    It depends on time frames also, as not everyone are lower time frame preference.
    When using 4 hour and 1 hour charts, 2 minutes is not an issue.

    I've always said sometimes you can be too smart to make money in stocks. :)


    Anyway all this talk about options eliminating risk...how do options eliminate risk? Buying an option you are risking the premium. Selling an option you are risking purchasing shares above market value or selling shares below market value.

    At least, LTCM tried and failed. Market manipulation is part of the game.

    It’s not about chart. It’s about signal and noise.

    How does one sell an option and risk purchasing shares above the "market"???
    Are you suggesting one sells ITM puts at a discount to parity??

    How does one sell an option and sell shares below "market value"???
    Discount to parity on the call??
