    Yes, i personally have no doubt about it. But i suppose my definition of edge may differ from yours. I've been trading for decades. Had huge winning years and small losing years as well. 3/4 months is not that long and note i don't trade often.

    Do large banks and institutions use TA to profit?

    Yes, they do. Every single bank and institution out there looks at price charts, so by my definition they are use TA in the decision making process to make profits. Only the losing firms like Victor Niederhoffer and his ilk don't look at charts. Amongst my hedge fund manager and managed accounts...

    I have bought Al Brooks' Trading Course

    I'm still going through Al Brooks's videos. Well over half way through. I've been taking notes. Will not bother watching all of them. Should be done by the end of the week. Will report back here.
