Eye of Newt and wing of bat now let our cauldron boil

LOL!!  Yes T/A can seem like witchcraft to some.  It's only a secondary DD screen for me, as far as the timng of my purchases goes, once I know what I want to accumulate which is based on primary traditional DD.  And admitedy T/A offers limited clarity on thinly traded stocks which rvx is most of the time.  T/A is about mapping and predicting crowd psycology and how that affects price cycles, but if you don't have a large and rapidly growing crowd then any one oddball seller or buyer can be the dominating and driving force in the SP for a long time just based on that one individual investor's personal circumstance and not because a broad crowd concensus.  So use  T/A on thinly traded stock at your own peril.  There's my cautionary statement!   JMHO
