read the chart

I opened up a random chart and went through drawing trendlines and picking out patterns. It seems like a helpful exercise in recognizing patterns that you can pick out regardless of the time frame. Of course hindsight is a completely different matter, but if you get in the practice of just watching price and the patterns it creates it may give you encouragement in real time. recognize how price has a tendency of correcting/pulling back from momentum movesalso notice how trendlines (whether horizontal or at angles) morph from support to resistance or from resistance to support.
