Are you good at price action and technical analysis?
- Thread starter longandshort
- Start date
Attention all ET traders.
My great grandmother with Zero education and can not even read or write, would always tell us and her kids the same thing when we start boasting about what we about to do or about to achieve. It was the same darn statement she
said over and over.
"Little old boy/girl, stop talking, I see better than I hear"
Can you guys/gals NEED to stop taking things so personally trying to prove to someone you do not even know your beliefs in trading is right and wrong?
Just trade however you feel and what makes money for you. No need to try to convince others that Price action, Technical analysis, Elliot Wave works and makes money. Who cares??
If it makes so much money, post your account statement or broker statement or something.

If you believe you want to teach someone or inspire someone, join kinfo for free and post your trades. That would be very helpful to us retail traders trying to research and work hard in peace.
Us retail traders have SO many things coming our way distracting us. Youtube, books, training, chart, losses, drawdown, emotions. Please let us work in peace and research and practice and test in peace and stop sending us in 1000 trading rabbit holes. State your trading method and proof of it working for +30 days and move on. Leave us alone please with the extra drama. We have work full time job this week and our family on our ass as well.
We are here to make money, not have long ass debates about trading theories. That is why us retail traders can not make millions of dollars, too busy trying different trading styles and getting off track.
I for one, can not tell someone else how to trade or what works, I rather prove it to them if I seriously want to help them.
I personally rather keep on coding and testing my trading ideas, and KNOW what works, instead of guessing.
I can tell you this, guessing and not testing have seriously held me back and put negative $$ in my account.
The purple arrow use to be me.

I took a look at your quiz. Is this your idea of technical analysis and price action?
If so, it's no wonder you don't believe it works.
Hello Laissez Faire,
I believe your feelings are the same as mine. Someone has to speak up for the independent trader trying their best. It is getting very annoying all the talking.
You are tired of the talking and drama as well I believe

You’re not asking the right question.
And what is your “hit rate” (your term), using whatever it is that you use? You know, for comparative purposes.The conclusion so far is that technical analysts/chart traders, on average, perform worse than a coin flip.
@SunTrader (and others): Why do you folks allows yourself to be "played" by these trolls? Did you really believe this thread was about testing your TA ability? C'mon, you're too naive.
So you’re telling me that you need more than just the price action of a stock to figure out what’s going to happen?
If all you want is to be left alone, why did you stir this shit up?Attention all ET traders.

I posted on another thread one of the signals I use which has a 64% hit rate. I’ll give you a hint, it’s not rooted in technicals or price action.
I don’t claim that trading is simple or easy or something anyone can do with just a chart.
