So you are going to question a guys approach who is worth apx 240 mil and deem it to be garbage??
Im guessing you are worth 241 mil plus??
Im guessing you are worth 241 mil plus??
and here is another reason/example why it's so difficult to unlearn the garbage, because you have people who actually make some money, but cannot isolate how much of that profit was due to TA... in other words he made money while wearing white shoes, then the white shoes were useful?
stand-alone back testing over enough data is plenty to show that any conventional TA tool gives you 51% chance of winning, it's 51 not 50 because the market is not completely random, and these garbage tools dilute the tradable patterns enough to very close to random.
case in point - buying 10-15% within 52-week low, you can back test it long enough and confirm it is actually a LOSING strategy compared to random entry.
but he still made money I guess, DESPITE an inferior method.
a bull market papers over everything, including random and worse than random factors.
