"My college ag business teacher didn't believe in them so they were not to be learned."

That just blows my mind...I'd say more but not the right forum...

Key to learning charts is drawing on them everyday...draw trendlines, resistance lines, mark your pivots...and ask yourself...are we climbing up or down the mountain...Markets continually cycle up and down...This is what gives you the feel of the market...

Best of good trades, Spike
