Another way is to watch the chart "as it's being drawn" as I like to say. For this I much prefer line charts as opposed to candles (candles seem too "bulky" to me). These line charts really help you see which direction the price is heading - in conjunction with watching the tape of course. Every bit of info helps but I really prefer the visual that you get with line charts. Here's a snapshot of ATRN's 2 day chart below.
(I was only kidding about trading on pure emotion). Thanks for all your tips!
