Introduction	I have had a long interest and experience in the stock market as a way of making money and building wealth. I am particularly focused on searching for and defining mechanical trading systems that remove emotions from trade decisions as much a possible. Fear and greed are at the emotional heart of financial decisions. It is essential that emotions be kept under reasonable control. "Paralysis by Analysis, Fear of Loss, Anxiety" all play pivotal roles in the lives and decisions of traders and investors alike. "Fundamental Analysis" which is appealing to many often leads to a "Buy and Hold" philosophy which can be deadly once you get married to an investment and "Fundamental Idea." Fundamentalists often ignore market behavior and underlying trends. I have come to the conclusion from experience that "technical analysis" regarding market trends and behavior have proven more profitable for me than fundamental analysis. "Potato Peelings" is devoted to documenting and sharing that pursuit with others. Sweet Potato Swing Trading is just my personal way of visually recognizing Moving Average Crossovers in different time frames.
