  • Directional Movement and ADX.... Navigating trends or just lost at sea?

  • Stochastics, MACD, and other Oscillators: Are you sure you want to look at these?

  • Gann angles: Great in theory, and looks good...but does it work?

  • Fibonacci numbers: Highly ridiculed by all. But perhaps there’s something to them?

  • Elliot Wavers and 20/20 hindsight: The best “wave count” always comes after the fact.

  • Bollinger Bands, Regression Bands, Uni-Channel Bands, or Marching Bands:  Which of these will help — and which ones won’t?

  • Commodity Channel, Donchian Channel, Kelter Channel, or Disney Channel?  What channel should you be on?

  • On Balance Volume and other old-school Granville goodies....Old-school charm or just old news?

  • TRIN, Arms, or Legs…Do people even look at this anymore?

  • Pivots or Divots: Is your account hitting the green or just playing through the rough
