TA works and you know it, you are just having trouble programming it,try making an index using the djt , ,spx and an interchangeable outlier like the eur usd..not saying it will be programmable but using it as a discretionary trading method,it works, as well as many other discretionary methods,all using some form of technical analysis,purely non technical trading is a myth ,you also know that ,along with the mythical coin flip argument,the only possible non technical trading would be without a screen ,a phone or an acct and you could just trade in your head,it would be tough because you wouldn't have a market to gauge it against because that is brought to you thru technical analysis, the mathematical total of the weighted indexesQuote from marketsurfer:
Self delusion is a very evident in the market. TA "looks" like it works, so it must work, says the anonymous defender of the faith.
There are profitable trading methods, TA just isn't one of them.

You forgot to add that it works only when combined with private information--which would be obvious.
You really are missing the entire point and simply do not understand the terminology used. That's ok, just keep on believing.

Using RDBMS and a convenient laguage, any programmer can drop in @ surf's office and explain to him how the TA world works.
As they say: Follow the money.

YOU say "private information" is insider trading info but the article says the "usefulness of past price when making an abnormal profit."

Quote from logic_man:
Once more, "private information" can include proprietary analytical techniques.
It's not limited to having an advance copy of the upcoming quarterly financials or knowing that the company has hired an executive recruiter specializing in CEO searches before anyone else does.
