    Never do I try to time the market. With Lloyds I'm waiting for confirmation of an uptrend. This is managing risk.

      Compliment? What a lovely chart you are? Do you speak to your charts?

        You beat me to it..was ready to paste the same.

        I’m still confused how someone who waits till the “time“ a trend reverses is not timing the market.

          Are you saying history is not past tense?

          Your charts show historical trends (the specific parts of the past that you choose to include) and you then try to extrapolate the future from the past.

          What you don't do though is include the fundamental reasons for the past trend impacts, and the triggers for the markets today.

                  Because that's not TA anymore. Generally I'm only interested in TA.
