Technical analysis - A scam for beginners? - page 7

 
Avals:

I think it was specifically about price and based on the past price, not everything.

The mathematicians also use past values to make predictions about the future. For example the same neural networks. Is that a TA too?
 

That's a good place to start

This man has the most constructive view on TA! And on trading in general. And on all financial markets. And rightly so.
 
FAGOTT:

The mathematical statistics methods also use past values to predict the future. For example the same neural networks. Is this also TA?

If for a range of prices and based on a range of prices, then TA. You could call it TA in another way, by limiting it to graph analysis and standard indicators for example. What do you suggest? :)
 
FAGOTT:

IMHO you just made mat statistics a subsection of the "great and mighty science of TA" with this definition. And you have also made probability theory a subsection of B and M H TA.

I didn't. Read it.

How can you argue about the functionality of something which does not even have a specific definition? It's so scholastic. In medieval Europe, one of the most vehement debates in universities was about exactly how many angels could fit on the tip of a needle. Or the debate as to whether missionaries encountering people with dog heads should preach to them or should not do so because perhaps they have no soul.

No one has seen angels and no one has seen people with dog heads, but everyone argues vehemently.

If TA as "predicting the present from the past" - that's all mat statistics and all prediction methods invented by mankind.

If "TA as specific methods" - what are they? Graphical analysis and what indicators?

 

A little psychological test questionnaire. The trick is that you don't have to answer, but you can draw your own conclusions...

So the question is: Do you like it better,

or this?

 

Any definition is only valuable if you can say with certainty "this is it or that is not it" based on it. And there's a definition out there - it couldn't be any broader. You can put everything into that definition - mat statistics, the probabilities, FA, etc.

The Freemasons are fooling the people! To rip off a hard-working trader!

Nothing works but magic Sith methods. :))
