ajtj: I saw a post on one of the "clear water" threads which referenced some TA Book author saying candle bodies should be used instead of extreme highs and lows. Just because some person pens a book doesn't make him or her right or even an expert for that matter.
I've been doing this for over twenty years and it did not take me more than a few months of trading my own money to figure out which methods works better more often.
When risking capital at price and trend line intersection points and or at price and pattern controlling trend line intersection points, loose plots are a good way to lose money...IMO
