I've traded stocks and commodities as a "chartist" for years. All the study that some people put into the companies and commodities they want to invest in seems just silly to me when the price charts tell such a complete picture. Markets (stocks, bonds, commodities, crypto) are heavily manipulated by the big players to their favor and you can use charts to spot trends in the history of their manipulation. Winston Churchill once said "The further back you look the further forward you can see". Use price charts to notice trends. The one most important attribute to be a successful trader is to learn PATIENCE.
