hey karenb54 did you read my post from last night? I tried to overview using patterns to make trades there. If you read it and it confused you, sorry about that! Basically you're looking at charts from different time frames (really short term would be 1 minute, 5 minute, 15 minute and then longer term 1 hour 4 hour daily weekly) and trying to find patterns that indicate price is going to make a decent size move up or down. The harder part is figuring out when to stop trying and just take a loss! Any questions definitely fire away - happy to share and help whereever I can.
