Nothing except perhaps a trader will get there sooner with the help of a mentor. Otherwise TA is TA, whether you learn it on your own or are lucky enough to have a good mentor to learn a system from.

Art and watches I couldnt care less about. Fine wine on the other hand, now this is my vice :D

It's simple logic, if TA involves using past price to make trading decisions and if ones method involves using past price to make trading decisions, then ones method involves TA.

It's just so odd how some people have such a negative connotation when it comes to TA that they will do whatever they can to try and justify that their methods do not incorporate TA, even though they are using past price. It's baffling, yet provides some insight into the human psyche.

Newborn baby zapping your energy?

I have a name, but I don't whore myself out like some people here try to. For instance, I don't try and sell my old junk on ET, things like that.

Denial.....it's not just a river in Egypt :D PS Disciples? Why the religious tone, we are talking about trading here.

Don't shoot the messenger....I did NOT create this definition of TA. "A method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistics generated by market activity, such as past prices and volume. Technical analysts do not attempt to measure a security's intrinsic value, but instead use charts and...

Dodging my question can only mean one thing ;)

Price action trading IS part of TA, LOL!! If you want to play the semantics game, go right ahead. Once prices trade, they are in the past. You are not trading future price prints are you? Haha Just curious, if you do not believe price action is TA, then what is it?? Keep in mind...

I AM, but you are not providing a convincing argument. I use PAST price, past price is included as part of TA, therefore I use TA. You are trying to tell me I do not use TA and I'm telling you you are wrong. Why are you having such trouble with this?

My system uses PAST PRICE. What would you call it then? Definition of 'Technical Analysis' A method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistics generated by market activity, such as past prices and volume. Technical analysts do not attempt to measure a security's intrinsic value, but...

Thank you, we can stop the discussion right here then. Have a nice weekend.

Then just focus on the secret sauce. I agree with you by the way. I don't use indicators at all but I know the instrument I trade very well and have crafted a structured system (100% objective) around it. The secret is in the instrument and its tendencies. The more liquid a mkt, the more those...

Um, well then learn the INSTRUMENT and remove all indicators. This is also TA by the way. Learning the price movements of an instrument and creating a trading plan around that.

Your kind ALWAYS believes there is only ONE way to do things. No wonder you lack the creative thinking ability to forge out a winning system. Don't worry, you have plenty of company.

I'm sure he's waiting for either Rodney King or Ol' Yella to swoop in and lift the offer.

So because I have been trading for a long time, consistently and in large part due to a TA based system, that automatically makes me arrogant because I've created a set of rules that works? I don't understand, isn't that the whole goal of trading...to make money? :confused:

Oh please, the number of possible combinations of the different TA inputs would be impossible to test. My combination of inputs is still as robust as it was in 1999, adjusting for volatility when it expands or contacts. Otherwise, not much has changed in the SPY/ES
