    Do you read each row left to right 30 sec by 30 sec? That is so cool. The cummulative and the bar total is cool too. The old drill sheet of drawing the lines up the page is a good "active" orientation to seeing the surges and profit making potential. It calibrates a person. I really...

    Why is it so hard to beat the market?

    There is a drill that I recommend to people. In my opinion it applies to all kinds of trading. It is simple and it changes how a person monitors the markets. It is the wash drill. If I am mentoring a beginner, often that person's print looks like 50% of his trades are wash trades...
