Explainging why traders use their imagination to see shapes

(please excuse my if I jump around a bit in this one. My brain is about exhausted after such an exciting week)

In my years of experience I have received much advice from traders

They have said 'use the head & shoulders' 'use the rising wedge' 'Elliot Wave says this' 'blah blah blah'

Yet none of those traders have been able to tell me WHY any of their recommendations work

After doing deep research into trading markets I have found out the truth behind how the market and how it works and can back that up with reason

So please be careful where you source your information from. Make sure they know WHY their chosen tools work. And if they can't tell you, move on
