Some general thoughts......... seems to me, that two things are necessary to do in preparation for trading,ongoing intraday trading..... One is to always draw complete and accurate trendlines,and S/R lines,...and Keep them current....and the second thing is to Watch the PA carefully and to do these two things simultaneously.....and have the picture clear before entering a trade.... such that when you can see the PA moving into a triangle terminal, and you know there's going to be the big movement coming soon.... the trendlines pointing down will show what is likely If its going down...and the other trendlines up will show that direction...and from that perspective, while waiting for the big move.... my own personal plan (intraday,trading off the 5 and 15 min.chart)...would be looking to jump on board whichever way it goes.....but at least one can 'see' what the possibilities are....indicated by those trendlines.
