    Treat the chart like a computer game, as others have said the price action does different things at different times for a reason.

    Find the pattern or reason, and wait until it becomes boring and predictable.

    Richard Dennis made like $200 million from the Turtles when he was done with them. Most of them had lucrative careers afterwards. There is always a major trend somewhere. The strongest and weakest sectors change. All you need is to find it and trade it.

    Guess SunTrader is right.

    This is all pretty much generalized meaningless stuff. ;)

    And sometimes it does the same thing at different times for a different reason. You just never know the reason.

    This is the key. It doesn’t happen often but when it does it’s so obvious.

  7. Hello mute9003,

    My biggest ah moment so far is that:

    Selling trading education and courses and making good trading youtube videos is the fastest and easiest way to $1Million than actually trading everyday.

    Seriously the best business ever.
