I would probably first point people in the direction of thinking about what can be inferred concerning traders intent based on price action, and then consider marketsurfer's feelings. But that's me.
I'll put this series of three charts up against anything I've seen thus far of other "systems" posted to this thread, imo. EDIT: And, I would hope it goes without saying (thoug I nonetheless fell compelled to say it) that the market is at a "decision level" where a trader needs to be intent on judging the market's ... intent. Why? Because it is here that price can truly go either way.
Clearly "big money" is involved here given the lack of movement, the spread of the trades, and all the overlap. Same since Thursday. I'll let them work it out.
One of the more important aspects of the SLA which apparently a lot of people miss is the provision for getting you out and keeping you out of chop.

This is a good example of what I addressed yesterday regarding the intersection of diagonal and lateral ranges.
