The Canadian Stock channel (BNN) used to have a morning guy that had a great quote.

"A five year old with ruler can do this!" So why is it so hard?

Well, here's a chart the 5 year old would have done very well with.

$DJW 20121008

The bottom line seems to be, when the trend line breaks, I should open or close my trade. Well this is the global picture. It helps you see the big picture.

It has hugged the line for a while now. I'll be respecting the breakout or continued support. We seem to be at the decision point.

Good Trading,
