    Sorry, I was not specific enough. My comments are very narrow and just refer to aspects of trading on ET. Prediction is not a requirement for making money trading. Usually people who predict process data from markets to make their predictions. Often they use statistics. I feel the...

    Trends interlock on adjcent fractals. The ratio is 3 to 1. It is not a good idea to analyze different timeframes. On any time frame it is possible to observe more then 2 fractals. Faster fractals (as defined by events happening) are always inside slower fractals. This means a lot of...
