Well, my apology if I came across as too harsh. I just felt it was unnecessary to compare yourself to Padu, no matter what a failed trader he says he has been for the last 20 years. Plus, he is a complete idiot savant when it comes to self-denigration. So don't believe everything the dude spits out of his mouth. Anyway, carry on.
trend lines are extremely subjective and so extremely powerful and versatile and, so, if mishandled, can be most destructive. handle with care. But explore its possibilities.
Did Brooks really talk about a broadening channel? Sorry but I think you made this shit up. Suppose the trend is becoming flatter. This only indicates we're heading for a rangebound market. As such, the chance of a trend reversal is also high. So why would you enter here? You'll just get chopped up.
