So breakouts are where a person might want to make sure they are employing a runner? You dont know when its going to turn around and of course you dont know definitively how strongly, but its a relatively reliable phenomenon and for a person that is much more clever than I am, if you notice the ...

Its interesting, looking back at my old posts, I have definitely grown alot. Even the chart I posted above has several good trades that I didnt mark at the time I posted but see them now. Cant believe I was actually complaining about it at the time. I swear, these last few days/week or so have been ...
