Are you kidding? TA is tested all the time; it's called backtesting. That's how we measure the worth of a trading system whether it's TA-based...
I know one thing that is quantifiable, your successive massive losses ignoring simple price action.
Untill it can be quantified and tested, what else could it be other than mysticism? I hear TA folks all over his site, and in real life...
Yes but as I painstakingly pointed out, there are different levels of prediction. The unadorned word "prediction" too often conjures up images of...
The rouge mods are the worst. With this forum background, that just clashes.
If this were "one site and one jurisdiction", why are the forums broken down by different moderators? I don't think moderators should lose...
All directional trading depends on prediction. Period. and other trading depends on predicting volatility. No amount of rhetoric can change...

Thanks RR.
I spent some time in LA--and have an uncle in bev hills---- there is zero competition for hedge funds---most of the HNW that I spoke to were very...

Brilliant. Start with the CL, too late for JCP and the YM trade as they rest in the place where all old journals go to die. Why not implement...
It's a chronic problem most traders face, which is why it's so important to have a stop built into a system. It doesn't have to be ultra tight but...
Surf tried that. Seemed a good idea - seems it didn't work or he's ignoring the channel.
His death channel approach would be way easier. It is a very simple concept, when you know the market will move just don't know the direction. As...
