HOGWASH! As a trader you want to know "when to buy" and "when to sell". What else is there? What you're always "trying to accomplish" is to make a profit.
Guys saying that this and that doesn't work is because they haven't been able to use them successfully. Indicators and TA don't work. Neural network and MLP don't work. Price action doesn't work. Fibonacci doesn't work. They are only tools. An hammer doesn't work if you don't know how to use it. But some people can build houses using them. To trade successfully, we need tools, strategies, risk management, plans, etc. Based on what you just wrote, you weren't able to use indicators. Some people do, some others don't. Btw, I'm not using them, and it's not because they are all garbage.
I'm a huge well of knowledge, experience and market success. Your loss. Like I've said... arguing the market and TA is like arguing religion. No winning if you disagree.
So if anyone has a difference of opinion, then rather than have your opinion challenged definitely putting everyone on ignore is defo the way to go!!! People these days!! * Unless there a total sub 90IQer/Trump ofcourse then fair enough!
