Jerry you wrote "but i use strictly candlesticks for daytrading, and P&F for longer term set ups and some very solid intraday plays, using simple default charts off the daily"

Why?
Because I thought you were a P&F guy from beginning to end.
Yes. Very interesting....
So to sum up your system (1) P&F for TREND (2) Then candlesticks to use that TREND
