Re: Daily Charts Are Meaningless...

<<I think a daily chart and Taylor go hand-in-hand. >>

I actually do use a daily chart for the Taylor stuff --- busted... but taylor bias only uses last few days (generally 4 days) -- and looking at a daily chart is tough not to get some overly bullish or bearish bias that extends back further than 4 days... if you are a short-term trader, it is very easy to get a bias looking at a daily chart which might show the last 60-100+ days of trading -- a time-period that has cost me money over the years -- so I try to just block it out best I can and focus on lining up the last 2-4 days and the intradays...

I do see some use in weekly charts actually for bigger picture stuff -- I just think the daily timeframe is the most difficult timeframe of any to make money from looking at... classic MACD & MACD histogram, 3/10 oscillator, ADX, stochastics are all (more than) useless on the daily timeframe, in my view... will often just lead you to a bias that will lead you astray...
