The alternative is sitting your ass in the chair, choosing ONE instrument that is tradeable (sufficient liq and sufficient range on avg) and watching it everyday like a hawk. And while watching, taking notes about what you see....what happened when we made that 2nd new high or 2nd new...
Wow, you really know how to sweet talk a guy don't ya? :p
Unfortunately (for you that is), it's always been a steadfast rule of mine not to give in to the demands of the petulant ET malcontents and I'm very fond of my rules.
So if that takes away all credibility in Dalmationsurfer's...
LOL...do you think markets go straight up or straight down each day? Even today, amidst a rally, there were several short trends. One in particular came via the 19 min SPY chart around 10:46. But most of the signals I traded today were on the long side and rightly so...we went up a lot more...

Why don't you just focus on whatever it is that you do and stop being such a trading malcontent? All you do is complain about short term trading....you are WAY worse than these 'forex' folks you loathe so much...
777 is just a geezer who likes to make 'calls' but makes them in such a way that he leaves room for interpretation. This enables him to chest thump himself no matter what the market does. :D
He's harmless, he's just pure entertainment.
