    Forex patterns

    Yes you can be successful with inexpensive tools. I have had lunch/coffee with a couple of successful traders and each stresses the importance of keeping it simple. Your makeup is more important than any chart pattern. I think Van Tharp details in his book how randomly entered positions with...
