    charts ,ta are not really predictive,entering at support or resistance or holding to target are useless without good money management but entering at resistance tops or support bottoms and holding to target has been, is more profitable than entering randomly at any point on a chart and getting in/out on a whim,TA s just a tool that makes a slightly informed decision slightly more informed

  2. They are definitely random because a price only TA trader, in fact nearly every trader, lacks INFORMATION. So what may seem non random to you, is actually random in reality as you can not be privy to all the market moving information at the time of entry-- therefore, facts are, you are entering a random environment regardless of whatever constructs you create around that environment.

    The price driver system, although it is not privy to all information at the time, takes into account dozens of addition imputs other than price in an attempt to create edge via information at the time of entry. It's more powerful than TA by an order of magnitude,as it anticipates rather than follows.

  3. Learn how to speak English first. Your posts are pain in the ass to read. For Christ's sake. Or talk to Jackass Hershey...

    It wasn't quite the answer to my question, which is: do you consider trading this way to be unprofitable or profitable activity in the long run?

    If you allow, would you please also add, how many trades would you consider "the long run".

    You don't have to take every trade from a winning system. You can flip a coin and just take the ones which turn up heads and you will still have a winning system.
