George - <<So how do YOU do it?>> I have this crystal ball - just kidding although it would be less work. The Guide is a book for teaching you how to find, draw and project these patterns into the future. The Guide presents this charting discovery step by step, slowly adding more clues and indicators that will help you fine tune your projections, as you learn. Although I have been using Inpathique for some time now, I still keep the Guide beside the computer and reference it several times a week for the rules to a pattern that I may not have seen for awhile. It is a reference guide and as they say, it is intended to be used. There is no existing software product on the market that will take a High-Low price chart and automatically plot the Inpathique patterns for you. Personally, I use Freelance Graphics from Lotus. Others use spread sheet graphics programs. Using the rules, clues and indicators presented in the guide, I manually draw the Inpathique patterns onto the high-low price charts using my graphics software. It makes it easy to nudge, erase, move, copy etc until you find the pattern that fits ALL the rules. Like most things, practice makes perfect and if you want to predict short term moves, you will want to master it and work at it. If you are a buy and hold type of investor, you will be able to use Inpathique fairly readily and early on to find the best buy and sell points for the long haul. Don't worry about filling in with colours. I do it to try and make the patterns stand out to others. Personally I do not bother. I do use colour like they do in the Guide for the various lines so a combination of colour and line style quickly communicates to me what the line means. Once you have the pattern, it extends into the future easy enough and the Guide shows you where the best and safest places to buy and sell within the patterns are. Greg
