This was London 2014. I am standing tall with the veterans Greg Morris, Trevor Neil MSTA MCSI ACI-UK and my friend Alex Spiroglou, DipTA(ATAA), CFTe who beat me to the Charles Dow Awards. :-)

Proud of you Alex Spiroglou, DipTA(ATAA), CFTe. You broke the door. Congratulations.

Market technicians bring a lot of value to capital markets. And in the world of markets, where it's easy to believe in your trading skillset, systematic training as a technician goes a long way in avoiding ruin. Over the decade, I have steered away from the subject to become a pure quant but my formative years as a technician have made me a better quant.

And just in case we forget, Charles Dow created the Dow Industrials Index, the Wall Street Journal, and the Dow Theory. Charles Dow was a true market technician and a successful indexer.

And if you think you are smart trader, you should try reading Alex's paper and set up your benchmark.
