galvin,
Try your game again via the below chart. In fact, one of your questions in your opening statement was about "context".
Guess what, this is a real-time chart that has not had any context info removed in such a way that no trader actually trades that way.
Now ask your PA experts about this chart.![]()
Approx. half the people would see a higher low and initiate a long. Approx. half would see failure to break through resistance and initiate a short with the momentum. A few would see nothing and not react, and a few more would see something completely different and act according to their views.
Difference of opinion is what makes a market. Nobody knows the future with anything greater than 50% precision.
