Quote from TraderZones:
You are upset that anyone would not be supportive of astrology? perhaps you can list all the professional advisors and vendors who have proven their longterm success? And if you are going to argue the "lunar cycle" - which is no more a secret than the January effect or the beginning of the month cycle, it needs to KEEP working, not just be proven by analyzing the past.
And secondly, astrology is trying to predict a person's characteristics based solely on things like zodiac sign, or unsubstantiated "readings".
Last I checked, the market is pretty made up of everyone - each month, many different ages, countries. So the "astrology" argument doesn't wash, as the market has averaged everyone together.
Searching the stars and finding something that seems predictable in the market is not necessarily "astrology" it is called "backtesting." It still needs serious walkforward testing.
A couple decades ago, it was "biorhythm" that were the rage. Except it did not hold up...

Quote from athlonmank8:
Maybe you could tell the guy managing $60 million on here that. What a dumbass right?
Sounds like he is...
Someone who reads the market and turning points with more accuracy than you could ever dream of. Also uses lunar trading/astrology in some of his analytics.
Ouch. Since when did waving anonymous people get substituted for proof? You didn't mention:
WHO it was
HOW PROFITABLE he was and FOR HOW LONG
his TRADING STATS such as sharpe, profit factor, drawdown
WHERE his longterm, audited results are tracked
Absolute proof that ASTROLOGY is his main method
Come on athlon, this is one of the weakest defenses ever! Hopefully you trade better than you debate
Other countries place a little more weight on it than we do. Keep that in mind
Ouch #2. You cannot seriously put up this kind of anemic defense, can you? And maybe if Martians use astrology, that has value also?![]()
