I have shown how to increase the odds of better returns by paying attention to periods of sideways market movement as opposed to advances. It's not a science, it's a world of probabilities. When the odds of reversion to the mean increases, one decreases exposure or diversifies to a counter trend vehicle. I personally pay heed to VERTICAL charts in three-bar time periods, candlestick topping and bottoming tails, and repetitive returns to the same chart levels indicating support/resistance. It's straight from candlestick technical analysis. Lifelong learning does not deserve ridicule and derision.
