    Greetings All,

    In my opinion, a lot of the answer to this question is dependent on your own personal going in premise about the question. For example:

    a.) If your initial premise is that the purpose of TA is to find winning trades, then the answer is a definitive no, TA does not work.

    b.) If your initial premise is that the purpose of TA is to use arithmetic to analyze price to determine if there is a bias change, then the answer is a definitive yes, TA does work.
