I have always tried to follow the price, volume & trend, but often stumble without regret when proven wrong.
The market has no mercy and slaps ALL of us around....ha ha
What I now see developing is an attempt to go up. I present things most chart followers do use....trends, support & resistance, etc....but to me, volume with price push (up or down) is critical at inflection points....currently, we a very close to a push higher, so I will observe whether or not volume confirms should that happen.
Yeah, some don't appreciate my efforts, but that's life on a message board.
