I don't understand why people look at or care about their red line. The only one that matters is the profit GREEN line. If you could have a steady upwards red line that peaks @ $40 and a steady blue line that peaks @ $60 giving you $100, would you pick that over a $300 blue line and -$100 red line that give you $200? Make the most money however you can make money whether that's by getting to showdown or not.

If someone can clearly prove why having a good redline is needed to do that, I'm all ears. The blue line is EQUALLY as important as the red line but I never hear anyone critiquing that their blue line is underperformed. It's always the red line because that's the one that's most visible and usually negative and difficult to get positive.
