One thing that I should point out, which I failed to do in my last post is that trendlines, alone, should not be your only indicator. It is just a part of the whole process. A mechanic should have more than one tool , and so should you. Use all you can learn about fundamentals and TA, together, to get the complete picture. A stock may have a great chart, but, if the companies fundamentals are skewered, then just the TA is not much good. So, another tool for your pouch could be recognizing patterns. Like Elliot Wave.
