Technical analysis

i bet 95%+ of the people here would randomly vanish into thin air.

I do not think that vanishing from internet forums is random. Careful observation can identify patterns that enable one to predict, for example, that marketsurfer is not going anywhere, but is in fact here to stay.
 
You make a lot of words but actually turn in circles:

1) yes re Romik we will need to agree to disagree. Others can see for themselves.
2) I do no recall ever having said my methods are better. Please point me to it and maybe I can clarify where you must likely take me out of context. I never volunteered my own approach to trading hence have no obligation, factual nor moral, to walk anyone through it.
3) I simply hold those accountable who try to give the impression away that by repeating to say "TA works" a million times it makes it turn into a fact. A lot of evidence and facts actually speak against the possibility TA consistently works. Dirt poor TA analysts or even certified TAs (whatever it means) have to turn to being book authors and course sellers to feed their families. You seriously think that self proclaimed quant guy Chan is successful? Heck no, else he would never write books and waste all his time flying around numerous blogs.
4) I am fed up with some of the TA clowns who make bold statements but cannot back up any of their claims. The same happened in the professional Quant finance forum of StackExchange. Over the last year tons of retarded TA apostles trolled and spammed he forum and they were luckily alost all booted off the forum. They seem to have found a new home here: All good with me but when someone makes loud mouthed claims they need to accept others challenge them on such claims. I can deal with being challenged on claims I make , my trading methods are not under discussion as I never made any claims about them.

With regards to Romik, we will just have to disagree. As he points out, if he was going to lie, he wouldn't lie about a trade that was a minor loss. But if your mind is made up that Romik is cheating, then so be it.

With regards to pumping your own ideas, that's fair, you aren't pumping, but you did suggest that your method is so much better, or rather, since you don't believe in TA, you suggest that what you do works and yet what the TA crowd does doesn't work. So now you have opened yourself up to scrutiny by saying that what you do works. Why should we trust you?

I agree, once again, that there isn't a good account here of someone taking PA/TA concepts, showing how they use price to forecast a direction, find an entry, show that entry, and complete this with either a stop out or profit, and do this for a sufficient series of trades to show that they are statistically beyond what could be deemed luck. I can tell you personally that execution is the hardest part of this game, and sadly, this is where I'm seeing the least amount of info here at ET.

So if you want to protect newbies, that's all well and good, but all you really have to go on is that nobody is showing the complete picture. But, and this is my strongest point, you aren't offering anything to advance this discussion any further. We all agree there is not enough proof, or as has always been my complaint, no demonstration of trading in the live environment, but at the very least, the TA crowd gives me something to go on. If I started to say your method is crap, you cannot possibly make money, how would you respond to my claim? In fact, why don't I try...

I dare @volpunter to show me, with enough proof, that he can make money in the markets because if he doesn't, its proof that he is just a troll.

The original chart posted showed fast and slow stochastics in extremely overbought territory. Yet the price action pattern displayed in the 7 bars leading up to the right edge offered favorable odds to further upside. This is why I switched to price action instead of indicators. Price action is a more reliable method for me because the behavior of price itself signals when to trade and in which direction to trade regardless of what indicators seem to be saying.

Well that and the fact that indicators suck.
 
Yes, it will either break to the upside or downside. Regardless you will of course credit TA for that fact. Lol.

Yes I would. And you would most likely laugh at it as you have in the past, repetition of your emotional state at same event confirms that price reaction at historic levels also isn't a totally random effect, after all prices are driven by humans and not terminators, like you.
 
How many green candles in a row increase the odds that the next candle will be in the same direction?

If you flip a coin 10 times and heads come up 10 times, are you in a heads trend??

Since you weren't satisfied with my earlier reply I'm taking another look at this.

One green candle is enough to increase the odds the next candle will be green. Yes it's a heads trend.
 
of course I laugh about it (you?) in this specific context. Especially after you removed your funny comments from your post. Let me try to paraphrase what you said "the level depicted on the chart is very important from a technical analysis perspective because the market may move up or down from this level". Another hilarious one of yours...
