Terry... "Tell me about it, been there done that. That's why I am here trying to learn about TA." I took all the bookmarks I had for the stock threads and deleted them. I don't need the hype or the attacks that dominate in those posts. I feel they are very harmful to a trader/investor who is just trying to stay somewhat in tune with the market or a particular stock. Stick with this thread Terry. You will learn something. I've been here for about a year now and can't begin to tell you how much I've learned about correct TA from the participants. Of course, I have been my own worst enemy when it comes to bad trades. Not following my system is the biggest reason. Seems I always get bitten when I second guess my indicators. Always take the small loss before it gets bigger. I personally believe somebody that can start trading using TA at the beginning will be more successfull than myself do to the fact I have to "unlearn" all those "bad habits" that I obtained with when I started investing. Conviction is a rare commodity... J”hn
