We traded similarly and I continued with adjustments and refinements while Al went in a different direction. We each have to find what works for us and that takes time and effort. Xela posts often, you should be able to easily find her.
Volpri posts a lost of specifics with charts relating to Al's ideas. Xela is also an avid advocate. I don't trade like him but used to trade with him and can vouch that he is very smart, has worked hard and knows his stuff.
I am a singles hitter and have had a number of longs on the way up, 67 was last exit....am not a pattern trader per say but note them within the context of my signals.
