Two charts

Brain's book: Dominant themes throughout the book include the fact that price is the most important factor to consider, nothing else (even volume, which often expands after price moves, not before); that one must trade only what one sees, not what one thinks; the supreme importance of avoiding large losses and protecting capital; how one should listen only to the market and to price action, never to opinions; and perhaps most importantly, that in order to have the odds in one’s favor, one must trade with the prevailing trend (and not just the major trend, but the intermediate and minor trend as well).
