[amibroker] Re: Historical trendlines

Jayson,
I will not agree at all.
Looking at the math is not easy.
The reason is simple, when the maths are applied.
I was in front of a pure symmetrical converging trendlines formation 
two days ago in Light Crude RSI.
The maths equally anticipate the bullish or bearish breakout, since 
we were only 1 bar before the fact [far from the office now, can not 
post the gif...]
I was waiting, thinking and checking an ocean of parameters without 
any "robust" output.
We talked that much these days for robust solutions and, if I'm not 
wrong, there was a spirit to avoid following anything not robust.
Life is different, Crude oil is tough, the symmetric wedge was there, 
it was more than real, it was fully formated and 1 bar before the 
unavoidable breakout. This is the real thing, you can not turn the 
face to reality and search for safe places, there are no safe corners 
in the market, you should be there to make or to break, just like a 
binary  PMPB switch [push-to-make-push-to-break].
Now I know that it was 70% emotional/30% technical to select the Long 
side. The next day was great, oil was going higher and higher, 
everybody was speaking for the great news, many "analysts" were 
talking and talking with the words "after", "because", and similar 
silly things. I was on the right side, BUT, I know it was ONLY 30% 
technical and I was not talking to anybody and I didn't want to talk 
to anybody.
CSCO parallel breakout was more accessible I think.
