No course as such, but you can read George Soros's The Alchemy of Finance where he discusses his method.

If you use a chart, you are using TA by (my) definition.

Brooks's course is to do with price action. This is why i bought it..to learn more about price action. It is not supposed to be about money management techniques (although tbf, he does touch on this).

No. TA does not predict the future. It only looks at what has happened (which includes your big trader behaviour)...you have to infer from that in an intelligent way as to what might be reasonable to happen next. Statistical analysis doesn't predict the future either btw. P.S. Why do you keep...

As an aside, VN has a lot of mumbo jumbo on his site that i personally had to call him out on, his analysis was really flawed. I don't want to discuss this here and now, but we can, if you wish, later.

Not a cogent argument at all. Say you took a cookery course by a top chef. The course is titled "How to make great tasting meals" . His focus is on how to make tasty meals. If he now does not discuss the nutritional value of his meals, would you then conclude that he is a poor chef?

What's the specific scientific basis behind stat analysis with reference to the markets?

Basis for TA is human behaviour tends to remain the same hence you have repeating (loosely defined imo) patterns. Sounds like common sense to me. To go to the nth degree with this thinking is not a good idea e.g. the guys who like to look at 5 sec bar chart...but then again looking at...

You could argue that about anything though...fundamental analysis, value investing, statistical analysis etc. You would be surprised at how many traders/investors are unprofitable using other methods than technical analysis.

My friend, it was either him or the market...

Brook's videos are more of a nightmare than a dream lol anyway, almost half way through the course...it's actually becoming better!!!!

Surf, you are a naughty boy! However, you are welcome to post your anti TA stuff though. I like to believe as traders we are not just into price discovery, but truth discovery too.

Yes, i try to avoid day trading...but recent intraday volatility i.e. bigger ranges does mean opportunity once again. But, yes, i am primarily interested in longer term stuff e.g. daily and weekly charts and I have quite a bit of inclination towards fundamental analysis. To put it simply, I'm...

Another point that Brooks makes which i completely agree with (i don't agree with everything he says, far from it) is that the markets are comprised of 95% institutions and maybe 5% retail. This means that in effect the institutions are trading against each other. They have NO INTEREST in the...

Brooks does not advocate trading below a 5 min chart for the simple reason that you can't make effective decisions quick enough and without emotion at lower time frames. Best to leave that trading for the computers that can.

My friend, i have been trading both professionally (institutional) and for myself for close to twenty years on and off. I have had many excellent profitable years and many losing (small) years. If you can read, there was a reason as to why i purchased Brook's course - see the answer i gave to...

u really need to grow up and stop looking at 15 sec bar charts!

PMSL!!!

is there a video player that i can watch brooks videos on at double the speed?

Presumably the economics, strategy, demographics, accounting/tax etc are for 'promotional' value as well lol
