Charts? I use a candlechart to scalp in a sideways, flat market. How is that using technical analysis? The chart used to simply give a snapshot of the market pattern.
My candlechart is simply that, just the candles. Nothing more.
The fact is, people like you can't understand how a guy like me can call the market movements spot-on without 10 computer screens filled with lines, graphs, clouds, sqigglies, and moving averages and relative strength indexes.
