TradersCALM - Traders Drop the Baton

First, consider you take a lot of time, trouble and much expense to buy a beautiful new six-seater people-mover - leather seats and top of the range technology - and then decide to lock it in the garage to rot away : seem sad to you?

But many traders do the equivalent as a matter of course - looking for a pattern in the path of the market as an indication of a low risk entry point :

           
Elliott wave traders look for an ABC to complete,
           
chartists look for a head and shoulders pattern,
           
Gann traders look for geometric angles and price percentages,
           
moving average observers look for cut-overs,
           
point and figure charters look for congestions,
           
cycle spotters look for seasonal and other cycles ...

Then, having invested so much time, trouble and expense observing market path, many traders now lock their market path concept and experience 'in the garage' : they appear to say, "I've had my fill of market path, I am now going to look for market direction."

It is as if a relay runner had carried on running after she had dropped the baton.     Calm traders seem to do similar market path investigations to other traders, but do not drop the baton - many trade market path not market direction.
Show me an introduction to trading market path.
