Re: Random?

JW - it's easy for people to say the markets are random b/c from a bird's eye view they are - sometimes up, sometimes down, sometimes makes sense, sometimes doesn't, etc. etc. It's also easy for the random theorists to put holes in your 'see this trend line hold' ideas by saying you just cherry pick the obvious times a line may have held.

And the other side of the coin technical trader can point out many times a trend line, support area, etc. held over and over and over again.
