No No No. You don't have to be lucky using TA. The whole point of using TA is to use the analysis and tools that have proven to be dependable say over70% of the time. So you don't need luck, as you are using the law of averages. If these tools were not dependable the majority of the time...

marketsurfer >why wouldn't random entries give you the same or better odds??? Because you would have to be lucky to trade in the direction of the trend, which would be required to many money. Random entries would just be gambling.

>squeeze Forgot to say that the Athena Charts in that platform are just a toy compared to eSignal charts. If you want somewhat better charts, you must add Metastock to the platform. But then it's costly, and IMO is far from equal@to eSignal.
