    no, and it may well help the discussion to move on if he were to.

    Cont'd. Indicator the clue is in the name, it indicates, it doesn't tell. If you view TA from the "holy grail" perspective, ie. take an entry off of just a MACD cross or whatever, then of course you are doomed to a pitiful failure. It is just one piece of evidence (I don't use MACD...

    Is that an ET fad or something, to immediately call someone a shill if they don't agree with you (possibly because you don't have the intellect to construct a civil & reasoned response)? that's the 2nd time it's happened to me on here, bizarre. Stop being such a precious little princess...

    At the first hint of, "it doesn't work because it didn't work for me" then I'm right with ya. But until then, if we chartists have any faith in our own methodology, then surely we can stand up to a bit of cool, objective, intelligent scrutiny. & I don't mean, "nah nah, TA SUKS and iz for...

    He's made a good point already, studying vs. doing... Let's save the wise cracks and insults and not pre-judge, I can see this thread quickly degenerating into the debacle that was the T2W thread, if we're not careful.

    Good post, as to why some can do it in 6 months... Because they focus on developing skills and protect risk capital (trading small lots) whilst doing it. Ironic really, as if a novice trader focusses too much on profit, that's pretty much going to guarantee that they will not be profitable. I...

    So far we've got 50c + range, about time for another clue? Time of day? Behavioural? Wyckoff maybe?

    If you want to fail as a trader, study TA

    Here's a thought... Everyone has access to the same price data, OHLC... So why is it that some are consistently correct in their analysis whilst others are consistently wrong? Can we assume then, that there must be some variables present in the way that this generic data is perceived...

    As suggested by a few of the posters here, maybe take a look at yourself, by which I mean your own psychology, attitudes to risk, trade execution and management, etc. Are you taking trades randomly or are you waiting for your "edge" to set-up?

    If you want to fail as a trader, study TA

    What is this? The bloods vs. The crips? The jets vs. The sharks? The montagues vs. The capulets? Can't we all just agree that various methods of analysis have various applications and just get along? What is so bad about a holistic approach? Surely then TA has an application in...

    Bullverine, "our ability to forecast the past, makes us overconfident that we can predict the future," another psychological gremlin that you should be very wary of.

    So what if you're getting a leading divergence signal. Of course you wouldn't take it in isolation and you would need to view it with suspicion in the context of what other things are telling you. I think also there is most probably some ambiguity as to what certain people consider to...

    agree that the longer the tf the less noise, but what would you consider the shortest tf suitable for using ta and are you referring to any specific techniques or just generalising? Also, yeah if you listen to the news you're just reacting, not anticipating and the likelihood is that by the...

    His banning appears to have been more to do with a personality clash than any solid evidence of wrong doing. So please can we just hold off on the squabbling for a little bit? Try and avoid "going off all half cocked" until you have some solid facts.
