Oh My Gawd Odanny, you are so misinformed as to be considered hilarious. First of all, this is NOT about predicting but about knowledge of what computers and algorithms depend on and use to trade. They are 70% of all the trading done in the market and they use specific chart data to trade on. They trade every day off of charts, given that they automatically buy and sell at levels where previously buying and selling occurred.
Here is a sample of what they do. The blue line is the 200 10-minute MA and all three indexes (the DOW, the SPX and the NASDAQ) were down strongly at the opening but when they got down to the line, they bounced up strongly, each and every one.

Why would they do that at that specific level?
As such, what I do is assess the odds of those levels generating bounces or selloffs and as such, I "play the odds". My approach is not to be right or wrong but to make more money than I lose, so that at the end of the year, I am profitable.
In addition, I am a trader and not usually a buy and hold person, and that means the I enter a stock using a specific level of entry point into the trade and I use a close-by stop loss and never enter a trade with less that a 4-1 reward-to-risk ratio based on where support and resistance level are located (where in the past the stock was bought and where it was sold). This was I can be wrong 75% of the time and break even (at least).
As far as my experience, I have been doing this for 49 years. I was trained by the best 2 companies in the industry back in the 80's (Merrill Lynch and Pru-Bache) and I was in charge of millions of dollars of clients money.
Last but not least, I write a weekly newsletter since 2007. Here is my most recent one (last Sunday) and it is #955.

By the way, I gave 2 mentions in this newsletter. They were EDC and MMM and I bought on Monday EDC at 50.15 and today (3 days later) it is at 55.47 and I sold MMM short at 144.92 on Tuesday and today it is at 144.31.
All these trades I gave a desired entry point, stop loss point and objective.......based on chart support and resistance levels.
Simply stated, I don't predict, I follow the big money based on knowing how they trade.
Remember one important thing..............fundamentals on the market and on stock do not change every day (perhaps a few times a year) but the computers and algorithms trade EVERY DAY! They don't trade the fundamentals, they trade the charts.
