Why Do We Trade? For Real.

See, that's the disconnect. TA is so broad. I don't even know if my stuff would qualify as TA... but I know that it wins in the long run and that's why I trade.

(hooray for relevant response to the OP!)

 

No, I just know how to draw a trend channel. Anyone can do it. If they can draw a straight line.

 

Yes, but the problem it really isn't documented by a few. If these folks are tellign the truth, its like a lottery winner saying he choose his numbers by some formula and if you use it you will win also. it makes no sense. surf

 

Absolutely agree. However, we must work with whatever we have in reality.

 

Actually, it's not so broad. It began with the study of price behavior then diverted into patterns and indicators. But patterns and indicators are both intended to "work" due to changes in price behavior.

 

You're the OP. It's up to you.
