40 Years on the Chart
The method got
simpler,
not smarter.
I’ve traded through five recessions and two crashes, and every indicator that promised to replace judgment. None of them survived a real drawdown. One thing did: knowing where price has already been.

What changed
Less on the chart. More in the account.
Early on: I added tools to my chart, thinking the next one would finally explain what price was about to do. By year ten I had twelve of them. By year twenty I had none.
What replaced them: four decades of watching the same behavior repeat. That single observation has outlasted every strategy I’ve retired.
No cost. No card.
Just the room.
