Yep, now the same meters and dials of the Tsjernobyl plant..........................
They weren't signaling "a fire starting" or "bad weather ahead" !!!!!

The trick is to stay flexible, let the market see you right by doing your analysis right,
andif/when wrong adjust.
Indications you are right on, but meters and dials etc are only static measuring tools,
not always in reality with the reality.
