    all that matters is as follows:

    does it make sense
    can i understand it
    does it work
    can i do it
    can i keep doing it

    if the answer to any of the above is NO..then there is something drastic wrong with the way you think..for..even a child could understand what i have explained about trading the MES..but then again..a child will not be a member of the "so many asses laden with books"..YET !!!

    does it make sense --> it makes perfect sense
    can i understand it --> yes, I can, finally
    does it work --> yes, it seems so, but too small a sample to be sure yet
    can i do it --> yes I can, still need some fine tuning but yes
    can i keep doing it --> I don't see why not

    I would add, Is it simple? yes it is, very simple indeed:D

    the man was frail..moved like a snail
    but mind was fast..all in the past
    he wrote some word..to most absurd
    but to small few..it confirmed "i knew" :)

    to Madame he spoke..it was no joke
    of how they ruin..the merry tune
    of course he knew..more than can chew
    for it intent..to keep minds bent

    you see dear sir.. it's not a blur
    if open eyes..and look to skies
    for up above..the white tailed dove
    in sky so blue..does soar so true

    to really see..or not to be
    one must off load..the shite so bold
    for History say..like yesterday
    today will be..no different see :)

    the fat arse boys..with all their toys
    will twist the brain..down to the grain
    but know you this..it is not piss
    avoid the bliss..with the OBVIOUS :)

    For the layout described in THIS post, and the quote above... How many bars are required per chart to see what "IT" is or what needs to be seen?

    I am asking this for a specific reason which may not make sense to most. I.e., say you could only see 2-5 bars per chart, would that information be sufficient to find entries.

    Hypothetically speaking, would this amount of visible information be sufficient? :confused:

    So I haven't been following your discussion but here is my take, based on my PRICE-BAR-ONLY methods/techniques.

    Out of the 9 pics... (I'll use Row:Column notation to point them out...)

    3 of them are inside bars, and a definite NO without further inputs.
    R1:C3,
    R2:C3,
    R2:C4

    R1:C2 suggests a bounce or a failed break. To me this is a long, with entry at or below OPEN of the 2nd bar, with a stop 3 tics below the low of first bar.

    R1:C5 and R2:C2 are continuation patterns. I will leave the precise entry/stop for you to decide. R2:C2 appears to be the better of the 2.

    The other 3, without more input, would be gambling. No trades here.
    R1:C1,
    R1:C4,
    R2:C5

    That was fun!
