time patience somebody may have....but the sheer effort needed to write 4 books needs far more stamina than a long distance runner....not to mention editing the 'masterpiece/s',as you so aptly put it.
do not forget Brooks is not a spring time baby anymore!
thanks for posting charts,that is rare in ET...it is far easier to post arbitrary comments than explain something using charts.
your definition is your definition and while your 4 points are technically correct i would prefer to wait for a lower high or some other sign of major trend weakness...

you are too kind.....it does not really matter what i do or if i am the greatest trader in the world or not.
if you can help somebody, give somebody some hope in their life, or encourage somebody,as you have done,that is a great thing.
