machetes ouch :-) I will preserve your true identity :-)

bigBaby, There are many perfectly legitimate ways of trading. No one way can be said to be the right way or the wrong way. Success depends upon developing your own personal "edge" and applying strict MM disciplines. The market will always eek out any weakness in your system, you can be sure of that. I agree that charts do not predict but patterns repeat time and again and some traders like to capitalise in this way. I also feel that there is no way anyone can be on top of all the fundamentals which are dynamic 24/7. Perhaps the combination of both would be the ultimate ? Ashraf employs both which I feel is very sensible.

Klondike, it was my mother's father who was the race horse owner/trainer. My father was a lawyer and only gambled for some light fun. My Grandfather in question was thrown out onto the street when he was only 10. His mother could not afford to feed her children. In those days street urchins were rounded up and put into the workhouse. At age 16 he left the workhouse and became immediately self employed. At age 21 he had started his bookie biz and was a founder member of the British Horse Racing Association. That man had 3 wives unbeknown to my gradmother. He had 16 children in all and educated 8 of them in private schools. My mother's family were 6 children and he formally married my grandmother when he was age 55. She then left him after a turbulent life with him :-)

I think you are right about the blood flowing down the line. I started my first company when at Oxford doing engineering at age 19. I never looked back and have never worked for anyone else. Although grandpapa was a rogue I have great admiration for him because he had a teribble start in life but he made good. I never met him but he is recorded as having been a very tough but generous man.

I personally regard horse racing as a mug's game unless you happen to be the banker (the bookie). Market trading is the same in that we need to aspire to becoming the banker :-) banking is a numbers game.
