"the only thing that works is being real good at measuring support and resistance"
this the easiest way to tell an idiot, or a trading ideologue... not that there is much difference.
there is ONE way. there is no ONE thing that works, etc.
this is called extrapolating from the individual to the aggregate. it is a function of an ego. it has nothing to do with trading.
there are many , many, many ways to make money as a trader. there is no ONE thing or only thing.
you will see this ALL the time. when anybody makes this claim, you can probably discount everthing they say with reasonable assurance they have nothing to say.
i would never claim MY way is the 'right way' or 'the only thing'
it's A way, and it works. there are many many others
