You sound like surf now. Don't know if this is a compliment.
You forgot to complete your sentence, you should add: for me.
Indeed, and therefore it is important NOT to convince them that they are wrong. Because it would take away the incentive for you to continue to do what you do.
What would happen if everybody would agree? It would become difficult to trade.
Ok, that sounds like a good idea. Why not start by posting proof of your success using the methods you espouse constantly and
Thank you for making clear the issue here. I like to think objectively about objective issues like trading. Personalizing issues, by saying for "me" is a faulty way to think. An edge is an edge, it doesn't care who you are-- it works for anyone if it is a real edge--- saying things like it works for "me" is faulty thinking in the real world of trading. Stay objective and you will get further.
You see massive objective testing has proven what TurveyD says is correct-- the only support it has is anecdotal claims on the internet and from others selling stuff--- get the joke!

I trade because...you can make money doing it -- like everything in life...Money is always the huge (motivating) factor. It's like a casino, but with slightly better odds or variables.
You kind of become addicted (or desensitized) to it...like playing against yourself in a video game...trying to defeat your current highest score.

No FOR ME! required, your the 1 with the odd belief that candlestick patterns or what ever aspect of TA have meaning, your the 1 logically according to science that needs to prove your belief is not just a belief.
Surfs, not a mindless sheep, so I'll take it as a compliment.
It's weird, but they'll always refuse to post proof, general excuses, don't want to give away my edge bla bla bla, happy to post up a photoshopping P/L ofcourse.
Also won't take about actual trading logic.
It's as if they don't even trade
Are the naysayers of TA suggesting that if one has variables / indicators created by him/herself that have passed statistical measures run by him/herself and not made available to others - which provide a mathematical edge in the long term - that these are charlatans and mindless sheep?
Surely not, but if so, then.. lol.
I can see that POV if you are speaking strictly about TA which is available to the public - however I see both sides of that fence.

Very true. They only exist on the internet in fantasy land and accuse others of their own short comings. It's sooooo obvious and clear, they have been discredited yet they never change, bizzare!

Depends on who "they" is. I "predicted" that the NQ would turn at or about 4500. It turned at 4483. I then "predicted" that we would work our way toward the median of its weekly trend channel, and we are currently within 30pts of that objective.
Anyone who doesn't know what to do with this information ought to find some other means of earning money.
None of which has anything to do with the OP. But I keep getting dragged back into this.
