Hi dozu888, with your permission can I please use your response in my research project? If possible could you explain why technical analysis is a myth?
sure.. technical analysis in the conventional sense refer to the indicators, trend lines, supprt resistance, fibonacci etc.. which provide basically zero value to trading.
logically it makes sense why they are useless... financial markets are driven by supply demand and human emotions.. the 'orderliness' is quite low... you'd be lucky to be 60% certain on average.... therefore any degree of derivatives (which technical analysis is) will diminish that already very weak signal to basically nothing.
very interesting how something so useless can get so popular.
