You should look into other methods of trading. First of all it will make you a better trader. An excellent charting program is TC2000. The software is free and usually get it in a couple of days, they ship it pronto. A good book to start with is "Technical Analysis" by Michael Kahn for around 20 bucks. Then paper trade. The learning curve doesn't have to be a difficult climb. In fact the less technical you get the simpler trading can be. CANSLIM on the surface is a simple style of trading to use, you either satisfy the letters demands or take bigger chances, yet some can make it sound like brain surgery.
