    Is Quantitative Analysis the only way to get an edge in the market?

    If you compare a computer's ability to do QA with that of a human's, that's one thing. But no matter what form of analysis a computer is programmed to do, how can it do any better than recognizing and riding a trend, which (some) humans have been doing for 100 years without QA? Not to say that a...

    Hypothesis: Technical Analysis only works in the immediate short-term

    Your solution of using a longer term MA will not be equivalent to that of someone analyzing the trends in higher time frames. There is no way to even compare these methods.

    Hypothesis: Technical Analysis only works in the immediate short-term

    A MA does not establish a trend. Analyzing price movement outside of the trend that's being traded will provide insights that a MA can't begin to do.

    I quit smoking, and, believe it or not........

    Good for you! Before I quit I could run 30 minutes at best. But after I got all that stuff out of my lungs, could run for hours and hours. Keep it up!!

    I quit smoking, and, believe it or not........

    I smoked my first cigarette when I was 13. The dumbest thing I've ever done in my life. But in the 1950's everybody smoked. Anyway, I smoked for 27 years, going through 3 packs a day for the last few years before I quit. I had tried to quit 1000 times before I heard at the age of 39 that if you...
