Don't get me wrong -- I fully admit that price is used in the decision
making process for a large number of traders. All I am saying is that
the *very last thing* that happens before the price bar hits your screen
is that a buy/sell transaction has taken place in the pit. I totally
agree that traders use a vast array of indicators (including price) to
come to their decisions, however there is still the last step before
price movement -- buying and selling.

This could very well be the case. You know, "A winning trader can win
with a losing system and a losing trader can lose with a winning system"
and all that.

Yes, I actually suspected that this might be the case, due to the
fast-paced environment. However, like I said, there can't be any harm
in at least having a look. Thanx for your comments.
