BarroMetrics Views: Success and The Trader
Last week, we completed the final Habits of Success for 2011.
In some ways, I considered it a huge success. We saw some very determined attendees who put in an incredible amount of work - and judging from the ‘final test’, reaped the rewards.

Sure hope I last longer than one day! No sooner than I posted “I’m Back!” that doctor benched me for a week. I’m supposed to be taking it easy for next two or three day; BUT the work is piling up. Anyway, let’s turn to the S&P for today

BarroMetrics Views: I Back!
It’s been a tough month or so.

BarroMetrics Views: One Day Reversal?
Q: When is a one-day reversal not a one-day reversal?
A: (Tongue-in-cheek) If it does not occur at a Barros Square (G)!
I am not a fan of a the one-day reversal pattern UNLESS it occurs within a context that supports the reversal. This is different say to a Head and Shoulders pattern […]
