“To illustrate this point, let’s think about the sky. When our ancestors originally studied the sky above them, they saw what appeared to be a random mass of stars. As they continued their observations, however, they came to realize that specific patterns of stars were always present. And not only were they always present, they were also so consistent that people could actually establish calendars and chart navigation based on those patterns. Of course, we know now that the sky is not random. It is based in the forces of gravity. The point that I am trying to make is that this is quite similar to the stock market. Prices go up and down, and anything can happen at any moment, but there are certain patterns that show themselves over and over again. And the good news for traders is that there's a good chance you can actually make money by recognizing those trading patterns.”
