Using planetary configurations to make trading decisions, rock solid, can't go tits up. How about presidential election-year and mid-term election? some people believe in that and use it predict if the stock market will be strong or weak a particular year.
Do you see the contradiction in those two segments? BTW I'm not offended at those who wish to become informed as you seems to show. The ignorant ones are hopeless.

%% OK\ but I cant agree with the 50% goal\LOL. TA is study of price + volume + i perceive you are aware of that. Some posters here are not; + let US see them put in any order with out getting a price or volume on the fill/LOL But i could see that some that dont like to study; may rail against those that do\LOL
Apples and Oranges; not comparable or analogous. I can't say whether TA works or not as I have not seen any scientific evidence one way or the other. But there is a clear science to Epidemiology. Completely different domains of inquiry.
%% I CAN say the truth, since you can read\ no one makes money in markets without TA. TA is study of price + volume\ sure you dont have to study much\ but enough to put that on the order with broker. LOL Same way with REALTY broker. Same way if you plant or buy an apple or orange orchard
