Mark Brown or Others,

I didn't see the post the other day that Randall alludes to.  But I've
encountered this thought before as we all have.  I've been puzzled as to
what this point actually refers to.

Can someone (perhaps Mark) point to one or more examples (symbol, date/time,
indicator, etc. or gif) of something looking good on a chart (to a
knowledgeable technical trader) that doesn't work in real trading?

Thanks in advance.
