Why does TA not work (for you)?

I agree that may be the last thing they look at but I think they have effect in where they execute the orders, so that is good enough for me to keep an eye on.

 

There is always someone new making crazy claims--- but you are right 99% of the new claims boil down to same old stuff

 

Why? They can make the book. No need to look at the past when you design the future.

 

liquidity, and thats even in the FX market.

 

They call their friends in other firms to discover when liquidity is arriving. Past liquidity that you see is too late.

 

come on man, the friends they compete with?

surf I am not going to argue let's just agree to disagree on that then. I know this as pretty much fact that they keep there eye on TA. maybe not all of them but enough to make it matter.

 

You would be surprised.....charts are for noise traders. Informed traders use info arbitrage and structural edges.

 

I never said that 99% boil down to the same old stuff. In fact, I implied the opposite.

 

7 years away from daytrading and you're still an expert, LOL

 

there is a structural edge there in a way. Noise trading to me is people on 1min/5min charts.
