rcanfiel,
Although your conversation and my too is completely off topic...
Your intentionally being disruptive to the thread starter request not to be disruptive and your intentionally bending the facts.
First of all, if your fee-base website was not taking subscribers...
Why didn't you remove the fee-based payment links?
I just looked at the time of this message reply to you and your charging anywhere between $125 - $4500 depending upon the length of the service.
Further, you stated at your own website that you've researched over 1500 different trading systems and only 1% had a real edge.
By the way, the website link I got the above info from is the exact same website link you posted in your journal thread.
It's the same website link that Magna removed and warned you about along with warning you about Collective2 (notice how I didn't mention your website link).
Simply, if you are true to your word that no attempts is to sell...
Remove the payment links.
Another fact, you have not proved that TA doesn't work.
Another fact, some at ET have proved that TA does work via either posting their P/L statements or stating the specific criteria for testing.
Another fact that's misleading by you...the link you posted in this thread involving Freecharts.com do not represent the popular TA methods as you stated.
My point...you keep pointing a finger at indicators while at the same time making generalistic statments as if ALL TA doesn't work.
However, I will agree with you about one thing...I haven't met a profitable trader that's consistently profitable via the stuff posted at Freecharts.com
Just as important, I have met profitable traders using s/r levels, custom Japanese Candlestick patterns, volatility analysis, custom chart patterns (double tops/bottoms, head & shoulders, triangles), divergence, breakout patterns, fading breakout patterns et cetera...
All the above I listed are TA and very popular while not even listed among the stuff at Freecharts.com
I will go further to say that the above TA stuff I mentioned is much more popular, arguably, than the stuff posted at Freecharts.com
Another fact, you specifically stated that supply/resistance and trendlines has value in another thread here at ET.
Both are TA and the issue is not if you use them are not.
The issue is that your running around ET stating TA doesn't have any value what so ever and we can review your recent posts if you denied saying such.
Yet, prior to those statements, you stated s/r levels and trendlines had value.
Thus, your lost or confused about what is TA and what is not TA.
It's a contradiction as simple as that.
I myself use TA although its not the only thing I use.
Yet, I don't use and never have used any of that stuff at Freecharts.com mainly because I'm a price action only trader (no indicators) that uses technical analysis.
Summary:
* You have a fee-based website, you posted the link in your journal to it and Magna removed it along with giving you a warning about posting that link.
The above info (your fees) I posted about your website I got when I first clicked on the link in your journal here at ET...the same link that Magna removed at a later date.
* There are traders at ET posting their P/L statements and consistently are profitable.
Guess what...they use TA and I strongly suspect they aren't using the TA at Freecharts.com
* The TA at Freecharts.com do not represent the popular TA :eek:
Heck, they don't even list one s/r level method out of hundreds of different types of strategies involving s/r levels.
* Freecharts doesn't even list price action only TA used by floor traders or institutional traders.
* Freecharts.com results represents their own personal interpretation of particular methods.
* It's a contradiction for you to say s/r levels and trendlines has value while TA does not have any value.
I'm just setting the facts accurate after you intentionally was misleading.
Last of all, I apologize to the thread started for the above off-topic comments.
