Here’s an update to my earlier trade post regarding head & shoulder patterns on the weekly charts of several Indices. You can read the original article here and you can read the 2nd part here about when the DAX hit its target within a few days. I also spoke about the Dow Joes 30 and the […]

As I mentioned last week I’ll start putting up my weekly strength chart for the Currencies I watch. 1. CHF 2. YEN 3. AUD 4.EUR 5.GBP 6.
