I disagree-- when you go to a party, you can take in certain cues about a persons success or lack of success-- however, on the internet all you have is claims-- and some of these claims are quite extraordinary-- therefore a higher standard of proof is required. Rememer, these folks JH, ND, etc have all made claims of market success. that is the issue. By the same logic, these same folks who make money would not be wasting their time posting here at all. However, the guru types who refuse to post real before the fact calls are prolific posters. see the disconnect in your logic? surf PS-- I have posted real before the fact calls since 2002-- some are good some are bad but they are overall profitable.
Not only this, but EVERY thread that sets out to prove TA, quickly vanishes. Hind site bias is a very powerful thing and these TA folks are deep into the trap. I knew a guy who was so obsessed with TA that he insisted the market was going up, when it was going down. The human brain is easily fooled--hence the need for the scientific method when dealing with markets and claims. surf
You have a very valid point there, traders who do not use TA spend a hell of a lot of time posting their tops and bottoms, surf for instance hyped up his journal to the max before his act came apart and he was forced to admit its theatrical, I guess TA traders are busy being what they are, traders, in their working hours, where as guys like you and surf are busy setting impressions all day with your theatrics.
sure, at least I added more valuable content on the quant and programming side on this site than you probably added in your 6x as many posts as mine. Search for my posts on the technical forums (including AmazingIndustry, btw I myself stated on my first post that I used the nick amazingIndustry before). Do your f.... homework before you accuse others.
You will learn after 18 hours of study. You will learn Technical Analysis. Just like those who study astrology religiously-- you lean astrology. Too bad TA doesn't work in a vacumn or objectively so your study is a waste of time---- why are you so against learning from firms or true professional traders?
The evidence is overwhelmingly against TA, it's super funny to see its last known adherents trying to keep it alive on anonymous message boards--- I guess after I spent 18 hours a day staring at charts, i would feel a vested interest in spreading the word-- however false--- to the world. surf
Speaking about judgment's: I just made another one, due to this constant stupid ragging about P/L statements which are for the IRS only................THIS THREAD IS DONE>>>>>>>>>>
No one cares about P/L statements---- before the fact, real time calls by the prolific TA, success claiming posters are requested. I post real time before the fact calls, why can't they? Not only do they refuse to participate in the controlled condition experiment known as the combine, EVERY thread that has been started to show TA working has vanished quickly--- the ONL*Y threads that has stood the test of time with real time calls on this site is the SURF REPORTS--- dats a fact, jack. surf
