Wilt the average age of traders become lower as our youth, watching their parents trade all evening, become addicted to the markets? The impact of twenty-four hour trading has yet to be realized or measured. When the bar chart, as we know It today first came into existence, it revolutionized trading. Who would have thought ahead of time it would have so great an impact? It brought many into the market who would never have been there at all. It made possible all ol the charting services. It was indirectly responsibfe for alf of the technical analysis that we see today, as chart watcfiing went from merely pattern recognition to the charting of technical indicators astised today. Even candlestick charting derives from the concept of the bar chart, Think of all the books, newsletters, advisories, and magazines that have derived from the concept of the bar chart and how to analyze it. What would followers of Andrews. Gann. and Elliott do witfiout the bar cfiart? Are we about to see a similar revoUjtion in trading? Because of the constant shifting and changing that concerns tfie trading world, and because its intpossible to place everything into a book, or even a series of books, I fiave started a newsletter.
