Quote from marketsurfer:

The Short Term Power Rating needs to be above 8. These ratings are based on a non TA derived proprietary algorithm--or if you really like to stretch definitions it could potentially fit under non traditional TA -- I would argue that it does not.

Otherwise, you are correct.

By definition, to the extent that you are using past market data such as price and volume to arrive at a trading strategy, then that trading strategy employs TA. What you refer to as traditional or non-traditional is moot. I, too, think that most of what passes for TA is nonsensical. Nevertheless, I think it has value in its most basic form. However, one of the many differences between you and me is that I try to distinguish my opinions from fact.

"Tenant?" Try tenet, oh resident journalist.

I have no idea what your question relates to. Would you kindly elaborate on "volatility outside of price/volume?"
 
Quote from marketsurfer:

I am still evolving as a trader/analyst. the extensive testing since 1995 has proven the outlined method is very accurate at picking short term moves of less then 1 week. i can't argue with the figures or the results I have witnessed utilizing the research in real time.

Unlike you, I can tweak my beliefs when presented with workable evidence to the contrary.

all the best,

With all due respect -- and I mean this sincerely --- why would anyone follow your calls?

I've traded full time for 14 years. This isn't rocket science. Anyone who can't make 30-50% per year shouldn't be a trader. And given your calls you seem to be unable to achieve such targets. You can't be making a living trading unless you're selling a newsletter or something similar.
