Porgie has some good ideas, you just have to pick-and-choose the concepts that fit your current style of trading, that's all.
For instance, for me I'd say the no thinking, no times, no volume, no other markets, no news and no trailing stops are pretty much where we see
eye-to-eye, in that order.

Not for nothing, his comments about Thomas's library of free materials shows a similar appreciation of good writing on the subject of technical trading.
When I was taking the Thomas's seminar, a trader asked him why he didn't just use an exponential moving average instead of the
median price of the security, and didn't really
get it when it was explained to him that the median is a better reflection of the true value, and enables the trader to accurately determine whether the market is
reversing, or just pausing in preparation for resuming the current trend.
Good trading,
