you should open a demo account(for free) at a broker to practice for a while. I use Oanda.com. Riding coat tails can be dangerous(especially if it's me :-) Reason being, I/we may exit a trade in a hurry and not have time to post that we exited etc...see where i'm coming from? It's fine if you look at the chart and determine the same thing as someone else does, kind-of like a "heads up"
