"poetic bullish engulfing" vs "do your research" - jetheat, am not trying to raise the heat here but really, what kind of research is this - i can not agree more that preparation is critical before trading - but what does a chart with lines and annotations tell me - what i want to know is that when i enter a trade, i have a >50/50 chance of winning - (or alternatively my expectation of profit is > that of a loss) that's the only thing i care about - what i'd love to see from you is something like - if there is a poetic...then i am likely to make X of profit, because that's how much i have made in the past, for example... - i you tell me this, i will run this setup through my data and verify it, and if i am happy, i'll be v grateful to you - in fact, you are up for it, give me the setup and i will post the trades... - all the best.
