Anyone can put out a YouTube video of anything and brand new self-directed traders who are watching these types of things thinking that what they are viewing are the right things to do, better watch out for that. New self-directed investors and traders also spend waaaay too much time on looking for the magical combination of indicators, settings and colors or formulas they think will show them something that is going to help them make more money. There are no shortcuts or bells that go ding to tell you to enter the right position so stop looking right now. All you need to see is right in front of you on the price chart and that is price and time, those are the only things that professionals care about and nothing else. You can certainly use your trading chart like a crystal ball to tell you where price will go with a high degree of confidence and I will tell you how in Trading and Investing using the Smart Plan Method.
