Out of the Thousands of possible set ups, why...

...do the 7-10 rules garner so much attention?

Why do we not spend more time discussing

1. Moving average cross overs
2. Break outs of known patterns.
3. Turtle trading
4. Trading wide side ways channels
5 Break outs of long tight channels (Water falls)
6. all the various uses of Bollinger Bands.
7. Volume and it's relation to price movement.
8 Gann angles and thier infinate applications.
9. Fibonacci, replacements, time, or even fib circles
10. Dojis, Hammers, Key and Island reversals.

There are a million set ups. 7-10 rules are only one of the "Tricks of the Trade". As far as I can tell, they don't seem to be any sort of "Holy Grail" or anything. Why do they garner so much attention, when all the others seem virtually ignored?
