Quote from Mr J:
Care to expand and present a logical argument?
I have done so multiple times in the past on this forum. You can search on "technical analysis studies" under my ID I have put links to studies and books about this a few times.
The TA side has NEVER presented proof other than personal belief, experience and opinions.
Since it is well known that few traders make a real living from trading, and that ET is full of paper traders claiming to be successful, I would say the burden of proof is on TA people (besides pure price action) to show why the institutional studies, which are very powerful, are wrong.
I challenge anyone to show that TA (not including pure price action) definitively works longterm. Through hard, solid, statistical proof, not "I know someone who..."
Again, over 90% of traders are believed to lose their money, and it is also believed most traders use TA. That does not make it very promising for TA, either.
