Quote from oraclewizard77:
No offense, but he did not. That is standard advice found in most TA books about trading a failed pattern.
Its possible to trade simple methods but it takes years till one is able to trade them profitably with real money on the hard right edge of the screen.
Also, standard TA patterns are not random, but they do fail, and sometimes those that fail reverse back up to make the original pattern work. There is no 100% reliable method which is why most people don't understand how to use TA correctly since even being 50% right you can make money, and sometimes being 90% right will lose you money.
