- fitzfan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Toadster tell that to Jim Simons, the MULTIBILLIONAIRE that runs the worlds best performing hedge fund since 1988.
"Renaissance Technologies is a private investment management company with over $4,000,000,000 under management founded in 1982 by Jim Simons, who (correctly) believed in the potential of technical trading models."
returning 35% a year to clients AFTER his fund takes a 5% managing fee and 44% of earnings. Thats right he returns over 60% a year on a billion dollar fund, and he believes in technical analysis.
Just imagine how much more he could return if actually had a strategy that works, right toad?.

Why slam TA down so hard? Fundamentals, Technical Analysis etc, all have their credibilities over the years. Take for example the simple candlestick, the history of its use clearly shows a trust in such methodology. I'm not saying TA rules because I believe it's always best to know what your aim is (eg. long term / short term) and use the appropriate tool or combination of tools for it. - weirdone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2price is the only real indicator that you can have definite proof of.
http://www.stockta.com is a pretty good technical analysis site to take a look at once you get done with picking up some basics. It has some information that a lot of other charts don't cover too often like fib numbers, MACD, stochastics, resistance and support lines, etc.
Technical Analysis has made too many people and too many companies enough money to simply be written off at a whim while not showing any evidence to the contrary. - weirdone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2and I suppose on that day you'll disprove the millions that have all apparently gotten lucky with TA?
- life99, on 05/26/2009, -0/+1Actually Fibonacci forex is the development from theory 123 and Elliot Wave which be combined with the calculation of Fibonacci ratio to determine the level of Support & Resistance.

- drpaidout, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Actually, Renaissance is more a quantitative fund than a technical analysis fund.
Also, the work of Andrew Lo @ MIT is a pretty credible source that TA works to some level. - vfrex, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Sure, believe that as chartists make a killing.
- forextrendalert, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1If you are trading with one indicator you are only seeing one dimension of the market, and use only one calculation to reach your trading conclusions. Using several indicators as confirmation can enhance your trading decisions and make them more powerful and profitable. Try to use indicators that are different in nature, for example, use Moving Averages alongside Relative Strength Index. This will ensure that the trade is confirmed using several calculations and will increase win rate.You can also confirm using the same indicator, with different period. For example: use 14-bars Moving Average for trading signals and 50-bars Moving Average as confirmation. This way you combine confirmation from the longer trends, which supports your short-term decisions.

Tanady - forextrendalert, on 11/06/2009, -0/+1Forex commercialism is a fascinating way of earning a living online, and if you are seriously considering entering this fascinating earth of forex commercialism you must consider, by all means, the learning and understanding of a number of indicators that wish give you valuable help on predicting with a high probability the directions the forex market may take as you with kid gloves analyze the cost charts for any currency you are commercialism at the moment. Two of these important indicators are: Bollinger Bands and Fibonacci Retracements.
http://www.forextrendalerts.com/ - goldcoin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2It seems like any method of predicting stock prices without looking at fundemental values must become ineffective once the majority of traders become aware of it. If everyone uses the same method to determine that a stock will go down on October 15th, and decides to sell on October 14th; then the stock will go down October 14th. If everyone anticipates that it will go down on the 14th because of the widespread use of this method, and decides to sell on the 13th...
The only way to make money beyond the growth and profitability (fundamentals) of a company is to buy when most people want to sell and vice versa. So no popular or trendy form of analysis can work, even if it is accurate, unless you're in on it early. By the time it hits the digg front page it's probably too late. - forextrendalert, on 11/23/2009, -0/+1See here to learn about fibonacci techniques, why it works, and how applying fibonacci analysis can improve your trading.

From experience, I will tell you that TA does actually work, but TA alone will do you no good. I make a living as a forex day trader, and if I could give out only one piece of crucial information to help someone become a successful trader, i would tell them that the most important quality a trader must have to become successful is good money management.

First of all, Technical Analysis and Chart Patterns are proven techniques for timing the markets. You cannot win and get 60-70% percentage by accident. This is beyond statistical error. - jekinh, on 01/18/2009, -1/+1StockTA gives technical analysis a bad name. It has its uses, but as mentioned, you shouldn't look at it as a beginner to TA.

- chris888, on 05/20/2008, -1/+0I think it's all depends on your analysis details and how you interpret them.
