Abstract
The successful flight of an aircraft is often attributed to the finesse of its pilots as well as the dispatcher. It is a common practice in air crash investigations to put the blame of such a mishap on the shoulders of its pilots and the air traffic control unit.

The Blade Runner Strategy

The method that I preferred was the Blade Runner Strategy. The reason that I prefer the strategy was because the treading signals are based on pure price action (Archer, 2007: McDonell, 2008). As such, they are entirely founded on the principles of financial economics. Also, the method is suitable in this case since off chart indicators do not play a major role in it. However, they can be used as an enhancement tool since this is a speculative affair. Therefore, this enables concentration on the on chart activities thus maximising the value of the decisions that are made. Moreover, the Blade ...
