Technical Analysis does not work, never did, never will

Care to show the numbers supporting your hypothesis? You realize you can only identify ranges and trends in the past, right?

with that i can agree with you what has happened in the past has happened in the past whether its a trend or trading range and is not guaranteed to happen now or tomorrow.here is a rough example,in the last two days their has been a very strong demand for a share,the probability for that share today is that their will be more buyers and the share price will go up rather than the share will go down.buyers do not suddenly disappear(in general)

I have been studying this stuff for 25 years- both hands on, via others, and academically-- i have never seen TA properly quantified.

If I am wrong, I welcome the evidence. thanks surf

There's your problem right there. You're waiting to see TA properly quantified. You're waiting for evidence. Why? The TA that works is obviously valuable. Why would anybody hand it to you or any other internet stranger for free? What do they get out of it? An occasional thanks from a forum that is largely composed of lazy ingrates? Yeah, there's my great motivation for disclosing the hard-won output of my brain sweat. Get real. If you want it, you work for it. Otherwise you pay for it. Otherwise you go without.
But this constant panhandling (disguised as pique: "I won't believe you until you prove it") is really unseemly. Believe or don't believe, it's your choice. But some of us are just tired of hearing how much you don't believe. Not referring to this thread of course, it was started by one of your fellow travellers. But we are put out by the constant invasions into threads where technical analysts are trying to hold constructive discussions a and are getting constantly derailed.

Nobody who has the TA that works is just going to give it to a bunch of strangers on the net. What's next, you also want his car? His boat? His wife?

The problem is that if you could actually prove what you are saying ( and its scalable)

I could arrange to have you funded with more money than you can even imagine right now. You see that's what my business does-- articulating and introducing people with edge to folks that want to fund it and have the wherewithal to do it--you think I post on here because I have nothing better to do??

I have discovered real edge on this site over the last decade but it's very few and far between. Never has it been TA related. But I wish it could be!

But you will have another reason not to produce.

Thanks,

A few questions ...

What constitutes proof of TA to you?

Is there a website that features your business? Please give the URL.

Can you give two examples of non-TA edges you've gotten funding for from here or elsewhere? How successful have they been?

Thanks.
