  1. It was a rather silly thing for him to ask.

  3. Wrong. You and the others with claims that TA is objective rather than subjective need to defend your position. The skeptic has no obligation in this regard.

    I am just asking for a testable, objective definition of one repeating TA pattern. Not your entire system. Why not just admit that TA is subjective, can't' be quantified and is not testable? why the need to pretend its a real science? Reminds me of chiropractors insisting they are equal with MD's. LOL!

  5. It's just a cop out. He or no one can provide a testable definition of an objective repeating TA pattern. If you think knowing such a thing would be a money machine, you have much to learn. You can tell many people exactly when to enter a trade, and they will still lose money, even on the most perfect set up. Therefore, the EXCUSE of proprietary info that took years to learn is total BS.

  6. I gave you one yesterday, a trade that turned out to be an inflection point trade using the 1min/5 min pair. This repeats all the time. I gave you entry (price and time), stop/reverse price and my exit on the trade. This is an example of a trade that occurs on all time frame pairs regularly.

  7. Jordan,
    You gave an example, not a testable , objective definition, Cherry picked examples mean little to nothing. surf

    Never said it's an exact science. Professional gambling? Yes. And rules can be defined objectively much like in poker.

    Let me ask you one question before I answer yours: how exactly would you test TA pattern?

    P. S. Really left until tomorrow now. :D

  9. Cherry picked? I PICKED an example to share (two trades, one that worked and one that didin't). But, apparently, because it was profitable overall, it was cherry picked?? LOL.

    Not only are you calling me by someone else's name, which is very strange BTW, you also really do not want an example but rather the whole shebang. Not happening, broski. You will have to do the work on your own.
