for me it's always been about Volume and Price.
charts are a great tool but they are still lagging indicators. Volume and Price are in the present moment and can be monitored as the markets move.
charts have their limitations which has been even more comprised by algo's and HFT's ,...suxs for traders,..especially options.
but,...Pivot Points really, really assist where price potentially is going.
Pivot Points have been the magic bullet for price direction.
