Why Do We Trade? For Real.

I concur, TA is utter BS, I have tested it many times over the years.

But beliefs are hard to stop believing in for some.

 

Nope, i passed the MTA profiency exam. Have you? Even know what that is?

 

And what does that have to do with whether or not you were successful at trading via TA?

And I assume you're referring to the CMT.

 

Not only you, but is been tested 1000's of times in multipe permutations. Even the very few things thst have shown to create a slight edge create losses due to transaction costs.

TA is so easy even a caveman can do it. Hence the appeal of easy money Just read the DB phoenix material on this site. All u need is a straight line! Duh. Its a powerful motivator. Look at lotteries or vegas for proof.

 

I was succesful. But it wasnt because of TA. It was in spite of TA.

 

Allegedly. Too bad you failed to demonstrate that here.

 

Wrong. Read the surf report since 2002. Its clearly demonstrated in real time before the fact on this site. Sorry if you dont understand

Heck, the Gann Channels were wildly succesful positioning me correctly in nearly every large market move. Its all recorded here. I used a Gann Wheel. Talk about hardcore TA!

 

Ah, yes. Trades exited without ever having been entered. Entered and never exited. Convexx (riskarb) pretty much pulled the plug on that one.

 

Once, there was a misunderstanding and mispost out of 1000's of posted trades. Do you always base conclusions on single data points? Likely as you believe in TA.

Your trading philosophy has been repeatedly destroyed. Yet you keep responding with the same circular like logic. Weird!

 

The first 10 years I tried to trade (profitable), I could be persuaded that it was a joke. The next 15 years proved that it was not a joke. So I am afraid that I will miss the joke.... at least in this life.
There are winners and losers in everything people do.
