Hi Z, very good post, I learn t from a friend of mine and buy watching the market live for 2 years before I even entered it. Charting is the way to go and setting your charts up right,I was very lucky that my friend spent 10 years studying charts and make the fine adjustments to them that give you the right indcators on when to buy or sell,but each time you put a buy order in you still get a lump in the throat that is share trading, but you know there is 80% in your favor 20% against you,read anything Gann he was the master share trader it will help. These days I can look at a share and say not yet keep a eye on it,Buy,don't bother, or sell, just by the chart's. Charts will tell you everything, if everybody says buy and the inductors on your charts say no follow the chart! With charting you can on many stock what is the entry or exit points, but even then we never get it perfect but we get a lot closer than some. It all helps CheersPete
