Nero, I only read the initial pages of this thread....until they made me laugh....
I disagree with you about patterns and most of the rest, they can be very powerful if you know how to use them, a pattern per se' is not such as powerful as when taken in the direction of the least resistance considering the market conditions, a clear sample is in EU in date 11/10/16 prices broke below (with a trend bar) a descendant triangle after making gently LH's and LL's (visually clear on the 4h, also a bear channel were shorting the tops would be entries before the BO).
I personalty do not use indicators but they can help some pointing towards the direction of the least resistance, in this instance at the moment of the BO RSI was below 50 and if you add a derivative MA to the MAGD, MAGD will be below its derivative.
I am not part of the 10% but I believe in trading there are not secrets but only skills.
