I think there are many merits to TA. It's definitely not all bs. I just wouldn't waste time to try and defend it.
Ok. Well I need some strategy. Otherwise, I might as well be playing roulette. I realize that no strategy will win every time.
What's really f'd up about trading, is even if someone with a proven track record, a proven methodology teaches you it, drills it into your head adnauseum, there remains a low probability you will employ it successfully. I can not today, nor ever have been able to quantify why. If I made a course it would definitely start with. I'll teach ya everything that worked for me, but I doubt you'll be successful. Encouraging, huh?
Yet there are those that do it. George Soros didn't use TA. But I've even met people personally who have made lots of money with highly leveraged trading. One things for sure: if you have a lot of money, and you put it in something that's highly leveraged... You will either make or lose a lot of money. Question is: can you ever have any more control of the outcome than you can over a roulette wheel?
