Reading charts is NOT the answer in Pinkyland. I know how to read charts. Those of you that use charting believe in them because THEY MAKE you do something. If you believe, you do what charting tells you to do. Takes away that 'thinking' part of decision making.

It works to your advantage sometime, as in this case, MOST of the time they do NOT. As a believer, you disregard those. Good luck. Glad it worked out for you especially in regards to PVDG.

Using my 'methodology' didn't for me because IT DOES NOT MAKE DECISIONS AUTOMATIC. It is NOT that my methodology for decision making does not work - it did work. I SAW THE SAME THING YOU DID. Two or three decision points for that matter. One higher than .05.

Yet I still have to think! I ponder additional factors that come into play (like Jane). Unfortunately, consideration of them AND knowing I could be making a mistake did not deter me from staying put.

Hindsight, for sure, makes me 'feel' like a fool. Better yet though is the fact that it forces me to recognize the weak links in MY decision making and I make 'improvements' to MY methodology as a result (If I am not stupid as suggested). I am better for my loss on paper, as yet.

Thinking is what I like about playing the pinkies. As you get older, you tend to toss more of it aside. Not me. I keep thinking and living with it. Decision making is the blessing of life. When you no longer do that, you are done.
