I know this is probably a cheap question, and may not deserve answering. But, how do you get a clear picture of price movement, time and the basic chart pattern in general, you know trends and ranges. I notice myself, when I am looking at the charts, it is a bit confusing tracing from the right to the left with my eyes in relating price to the chart pattern and the time intervals. Is there something here that might enlighten me!
I am not exactly clear on your question, but i just note the major swings and what price they occur. then take everything relative to that. If i really need to drill down or note something i draw it on my charts or write it in my notebook. Its just that simple
