A few are: Fibonacci - price/time/patterns Gann - price/time/squares Line studies - trendlines, channels, Babson, Median Line, DGL Scaling - log, linear
And then sprinkle some Elliott Wave and chart patterns on top. Quite yummy when there is a confluence of techniques and indicators.

Hi Bill - I wonder if you could mention a few of these techniques by name? From there, I could Google to learn more about them...Thanks very much!

Once one leaves the world of system trading there are techniques for estimating future price and time targets that are quite useful. A estimate of future crossings might very well fit in this toolbox.
