Interesting article. Only question is those pullbacks on the illustration charts are pretty clean with most days having lower highs not giving many false signals. Unfortunately when you look and most charts pull-backs are messy with many days taking out previous days highs so you would ultimately have to try 5 or 6 times to get the follow through back up to the swing high which I would imagine would eat at your profits.

TA can really work if you know what to use....It will not work if you use the wrong indicators in the wrong time frames. For day traders a 4 and perhps 2 hour chart with stochastics and Fibs can work well. I can prove it to you.

No need, I know it can work well. Especially if you take off the fibs and stochastics.

You don't have to have charts cluttered up by a plethora of indies to make trading profits. This article is a perfect illustration of that

I have to disagree here. You simply CANNOT have enough lines and indicators. I am building a 3d trading movie theatre to prove it.
