trader vic: methods of a wall street master, like CF said, add to this some classical chart reading stuff and you basically get what this thread is all about. Mixing all the timeframes together is however another step I'm getting better at but still learning. The best way to learn is get yourself something like prorealtime.com and reread the whole thread while looking at the charts of all the trades. I did it last weekend and am now doing it again this weekend (at a third at this moment) and things will become clearer. Be prepared to take some time and put in some hard work, it won't come by itself, but the more you see charts the clearer it becomes. I won't claim I see everything in realtime, but I'm seeing things better now, although there's always room for improvement as yoohoo clearly has shown.
