Dave Landry "On Swing Trading". Dave was a contributor for years on Larry Connor's Trading Markets. Connor's of course co-wrote Street Smarts with Raschke.

It has to be defined in the context you are trading. A one hour bar or candle may have a number of swing lows or highs relevant to someone trading lower time frames. That same bar would be irrelevant on a weekly chart. A trader is looking for reaction points and that recognition comes with...

A low is a low and the numbers of bars involved in it's forming depends on the time frame you are looking at.

I am a gringo but have practiced Chinese martial arts and health practices for years along with a study of Chinese history and philosophy. Thought you might be interested in an occasional recommendation.

BTW, the Confuciun Alalects were not written by Confucius but by his followers post-mortem. The word Confucius was coined by the Jesuits to refer to Kǒngzǐ, pinyin.

Tao te ching was credited to Lao Tze but there is legend involved in that as well. He existed around the same time as Confucius, 500 BC. There are other schools of Chinese thoughts but Confucius and Lao Tze are the most prominent.

The one inch punch is a thing due to the short range bridging of Wing Chun. It is trained to focus jin force on a point in close space. Does it have the force of a good left hook....of course not.

HaHa...ditto, written the same but entirely different dialects.

Yep there is no Wing Chun without chi sau training or Sil Lum Tao (there are various Cantonese western spellings) which translates as "the little idea" which is not little but elemental to the art. Application gets expanded out in the other two hand forms, Chum Qiu (closing the gap) and Bil Jee...

The legend is it was developed by a Buddhist nun by the name of Mui Ng who taught it to a woman by the name of Kim Wing Chun. The story is highly likely to be apocryphal and was likely developed over time by various martial artists and can be traced back to the Red Boat Opera where martial types...

Fred, if you would care to know about the essence which I doubt, I can recommend the book by my teacher Michael Herrera which contains no bullshit, war stories or hyperbole. It's on Amazon.
