Don't shown or explain anything because that is the strategy of the bashers: steal you knowledge by first offending you till you are mad enough to give them what they want. That's why they say continuously: show us what works. Naysayers will never shut up, they will continue to gather as much knowledge as possible by offending you. Loser David Goodboy is a perfect sample of that, he blew up a fund and never made any money in any trading at all. He is specialized in drycleaning shops.
Dabbling in TA is a secret vice for many of them. They can't help themselves. It's like Jeff Epstein's, Bill Clinton's, Prince Andrew's unmentionable proclivity.
I stayed way too long, I honestly prefer arguing around facts, it is indeed sad that in 22 pages TA is still not properly defined. TA is not my forte, but if anyone asked me about my trained discipipline and approach to trading, Quant trading, I am pretty sure I could define concepts and terminology pretty well. In fact without proper definitions it's close to impossible to talk about anything really. I hope nobody got personally offended by my comments, if, then my sincere apologies. I get passionate about things I deeply believe in and that gets me at times go overboard. I found what works for me, TA is something I don't believe in, but if it works for others, awesome. Peace.
It's not all about indicators although I do use them in trading. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/posts/4379080/
Typical religious fanatic loser behavior. Suggest putting the axxclowns on ignore. TA is their only hope for successs, sad but true. Merry Xmas! Hampton
