Why does TA not work (for you)?

Quote from marketsurfer:

No, there are runs and series in random generated stock charts just like in real price charts.

No one said there weren't runs in both types, but that there were more runs in real stock charts vs. random stock charts.

Again, you are knocking down strawmen.
 
Quote from marketsurfer:

I'll accept my role here as an educator -- HFT is not a trading method but rather encompasses multiple strategies-- primarily market making and latency arbitrage. It is constantly evolving and in no way "fixed". One HFT strategy may work for a week then it's edge is gone and another strategy is implemented. HFT has nothing to do with TA for the most part.

Regardless of how long the strategy stays in force, it is fixed for that period of time. According to your grand theory of "immediate market data obsolescence", even a week is too long for a single strategy to remain effective.

You've painted yourself into a corner where only your "market drivers", whatever they are, actually work. Or so you claim.

he still needs 998 1/2 trades in order to show that price drivers method is not a luck method. he demanded 1000 trades from ta traders to verify a method, so the same rule applies to him.

Next time you see him, ask him about the results with the TA strategy. It won't be a pretty picture--- if he's telling truth. Remember, some of these firms run 100's if not 1000's of strategies--- could there be a TA component to one of them-- SURE. That's why my original comment said "FOR THE MOST PART". There are TA true believers in all levels of the market-- doesn't mean TA works.

Just like multi PhD particle physicists who believe in Magick--- there are a few, but it doesn't make Magick credible.

If you take a data set and mathematically quantify or standardize that data in ANY way, you are using TA. What is your struggle with that, surf?

I think my last post was around page 110-120.

Anyone care to summarize from there? :)
