It was only after I embraced market cycles that I truly began to understand what to do with all the "lines and levels" I had learned to draw on my charts. Early on as I began teaching myself to trade in the late 1980's to early 1990's, there were not many books available to read about the subject of charting. I found myself gravitating towards price (instead of news) because my mother was a bit of a market timer (although not trained nor conscious that she was indeed market timing).
