On a more serious note, have spent alot of time playing around with charting software, knew absolutely nothing about charts when I first started out. They help ALOT.
I just you put Haspete and Robbbbb on your fav list they're 2 of the best and very easy to follow even for a novice.
This guy is also very good and you'll learn alot from him.
