Why can't they be defined in a testable format?

Who besides you says they can't?

I feel like the OP just argues for the sake of arguing sometimes. He doesn't really want any proof that TA can be objective and can be coded.

Quote from jack hershey:

I gave him the simplest non subjective "setup" in the markets. He could "grow" his capital as long as he wants.

Three consecutive accelering volume bars at the beginning of a trend, where he enters at Acceleration = true. He exits before zero profitability or the end of the third bar.

He may not know a programmer who is sophisticated enough to write the ATS code or forward test it.

Coded TA does not work. That's a fact jack. surf

Fact? You know every trader who uses coded TA in the world?? Wow, impressive jack!

I betcha I know more of them than you do.

What does this answer have to do with anything? I'm asking if you know EVERY SINGLE trader out there that has a coded algo running based on TA? Meaning every coded system using TA has been revealed to you and you can say, with 100% certainty, that there is not a viable algo out there using TA.

The answer has to do with the your question. Your same reasoning is applied by UFO and bigfoot believers--- How do you know they "don't" exist?? There is no evidence of TA even being defined in a testable format, let alone evidence of some lone, mad scientist type cracking the market code via TA in his mother's basement. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE..... I contend that an objective, working TA system does not exist based on the lack of evidence. Could it exist, clearly it could exist, but so could bigfoot. It's MUCH more likely that folks are using intuition and subjective reasoning to make TA work. WHY is this so hard to comprehend? chart based TA is an art not a science. surf

Proving this to you would require revealing my system rule set/code and, as much as I'd like to see you eat crow, that pales in comparison to keeping that code-able ruleset away from prying eyes.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. My trading is far more important to me than proving a point.

This is a classic cop out.

No friend, I am not asking for your system, nor do I care-- NOT ONE investor I know would invest in ANYTHING obviously TA related, so I don't have any interest. Just reveal one small part, enough to prove my premise wrong such as one repeatable testable pattern in the stock market. thanks surf
