Simple Line Chart With No Indicators

A month back I met a swing trader who uses plain line charts( on closing price) with volumes and no indicators at all; his reasoning been that line chart gives the best view of 'flow', pivots, and patterns. He trades metals and crude on MCX. I was struck, for I could see him pulling good money consistently out of the markets. Of course he's a good friend now.
Also I am reminded of a acquaintance who's been trading nifty futures intraday for years sitting by a quote machine and making money consistently without ever learning a single word of technical jargon.

Haha... they're a kinda shame to people doing research in 100 candlestick patterns, ichomoku, equivolumes, points & figures etc. etc.

Yes. It has been possible for me to find theoretically when the prices are going to spike. What is needed is a candelstick chart and volume. I will apply my theory now in the market.

Hey, I am just an amateur trader. Let me see if I am able to make money. :)
