Its an interesting point. Most of these guys started out small. It took them 
20 to 30 years to get to where they are. 
I also got caught up in 5 min. bars/tick bars  / stochastics / missing ticks 
etc. 

Lynch  (in his book) mentions that if houses were sold on daily / intra day 
prices, we would all be paupers. 
Again, I am neither a proponent of / or against all this stuff... when when 
too much time is spent arguing about memory leakage, missing ticks ,  the 
main mission of this list seems to lost. 

All my profits have been buy & hold ;  or long & long exit of daily bars;  
All my losses were of intra-day bars. 
And BTY, I have never used stochastics, RSI etc.  

I have heard a lot of tutors / gurus/ etc. Murrey Math, Ulrich, RS Houston 
advertise  their $ 3 k courses etc.  I doubt if they will show me their 
statements. A prominent "cycles" guy at a local club drives a shabby car and 
doesnt pay his bills;  but he has a newsletter & opinions of the market.

But why go to them when you can listen to Lynch, Buffet for free (Barrons ). 
and these guys have a track record. 

I use excel / lotus / windows a lot.  They  have a lot of flaws,  but I guess 
I have to live with it. 
Just my 2 cents.
