    I misread that: I thought it read: " The greatest trader never."

    even though brooks talks a lot about wedges, triangle, trading ranges break outs and failed breakouts....... i am only concentrating on trends .....

    Trends have consolidations, wedges, triangles and ranges are consolidations. They breakout and trend resumes...or reverses. It's all part of the same dynamic, confusion about some of it is confusion about all of it.

    There you are!
    Hadn't seen you chime in lately.
    Glad you're ok.

    Hey I'm sponsoring an 18 hole turkey trot golf outing next week featuring B1 and Padua (above) with his 4 handicap... my money's on B1 and his mighty driver.... what say you Speedo? Do we go with Izzy or Palooka?

    patterns have a very low win percentage.....

    trends have a 100% winning percentage

    you enter with some expectation that the market is going to do something...if it disappoints or worse doe the exact opposite do NOT wait for for your stop to be hit .......close......and if you are made of ice and nerves of steel..reverse!

    .... and instead of the market reversing direction, it actually continues its journey.
    Instead of a profitable trade, you ended up with 2 losing trades.

    Never attempt to tighten your Stop too early.
