I can't believe I tried using technical analysis. It is complete and utter bullshit.

It's quite hard to fathom just how bullshit it is. There's all these worthless indicators which don't truly indicate anything about where the price might go, and that's part of what made me believe in it. Surely it's not the case that everyone is just being an idiot by creating these indicators, right? Wrong.

RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, blah blah blah. None of them actually work. Do you know what this means? It's fucking psychotic. It's schizophrenic. It's literally magical thinking at its finest. All this programming, mathematics, design, theory and everything all going into the worthless magical thinking of schizo people. I even fell for this so hard myself I tried to make my own trading bot. It is indeed like astrology.

Pathetically enough I also fell for dumb ass famous "successful" traders. If anyone is marketing themselves as a successful trader they are either insanely lucky or a scam artist.

There's bound to be at least a few "successful" traders when so many people are falling for this magical thinking nonsense. It's like having a bunch of monkeys running around on keyboards. If you have enough of them, one of them is bound to create a Shakespearian piece of literature eventually. Same principle.

The scam artists who aren't actually "successful" often hide their losses or do trades with a fraction of what they have whilst selling worthless group invites, which is where they actually make money.

If you were like me, you may have been confused at how these scam artists did live trades with such success. It's simple. When a scam artist does live trades with a large following, what they say goes. They make a trade, their audience watches it and copies and they look like geniuses. They know full well that their audience alone makes them successful. They have experience trading without an audience to be able to tell. Truly sad.

TA is magical thinking on steroids.

TA is useful, but like Neil peart said, we need both the heart and mind united in a single perfect sphere. You need to use it along a sentiment analysis of the market and it has to be a study case based off that specific market. For crypto, paying attention to the Open interest, longs to shorts (using only binance and FTX as reference) and what the whales are doing vs the sardines, is a good thing.

the fact that nearly every trader tries to sell you educational services is a tell-tale sign that it's not nearly as successful as they make it out to be, part of the reason is that behind markets there's brokers trading against you which causes things like bart patterns since there's a series of liquidation events when brokers fuck up shorters then longers or vice versa

Kinda sounds like you're looking for something that flatout tells you we go up or down, but things aren't that simple and the only traders that actually make money are very secure in their risk analysis (so using all possible market dat along with TA to determine their thesis and where their stoploss or "invalidation point" is).

You make it seem like people that do TA ONLY use TA, which is completely false. Also I personally don't like indicators since they always lag behind what's actually happening. Support and resistance areas are much more accurate in helping you determining entry and exit points AND invalidation (stoploss). That's the point of TA, not as a magical forecasting thing.

It will not tell you the future, the direction in what market will go, but you have to calculate what you know, what you can guess, and manage risk.

Everything your original post was about indicators, not actually about TA.

Let me put this into a metaphor so you can wrap your brain around it, since TA is outside of the scope of your knowledge.

TA is sort of like riding a bike, indicators are your training wheels. So, you start out riding your bike and keep falling over, you slap on a set of training wheels. But, you still fall over, what do you do? Put on more training wheels. Now you've got two sets of training wheels on your bike, and it's even more difficult than when you first started. What's the solution? More training wheels. You've got training wheels in places that don't make sense, and are literally hindering your ability to learn how to ride the bike. What's the solution? More training wheels!
You do not need indicators to TA, you do not need indicators to learn how to TA.

This is how you do TA. Fuck cups and handles, fuck Bollinger bands, fuck RSI. Learn to read the chart as it is.

TA exists to launder institutional gains from insider trading and market manipulation as the product of some kind of mathematical analysis. The fact that the gullible trip over themselves to believe in the ruse and blame themselves for doing it wrong when it doesn't work is just icing on the cake for those on the inside of the hustle.

It is perfectly analogous to Art. Big players set up a ruse to launder money and dodge taxes, and midwits down the totem pole support the scam culturally to seem cultured and educated and fit in.

The meta is taking other people’s money by selling services and financial products. That’s what the professionals do, they make financial products like ETFs and sell brokerage services and whatever else, and they take their cut and funnel in big money. They go for big institutions like pension funds, or they target rich people, and at the margins they put ads on TV and YouTube telling you to open a Fidelity account.

As a retail trader you can’t beat this reliably, it’s a gamble. You either get lucky or not. It’s very intuitive when you see what conditions are like in average underlying business. There are tens of thousands of businesses you can look at in public markets, and their executives (when they’re actually aligned with the business) are all trying to grow as much as possible so they too can get rich. But most businesses do not have explosive growth, most businesses don’t even necessarily have average growth. A small number of businesses have explosive growth, and most others grow very modestly or not at all. In a “normal” market, equities are usually priced as conservative bets on company performance. In an inflated market a bunch of equities may be highly valued because there are a bunch of very fantastic bets floating around. But the insiders themselves don’t necessarily know if they’re going to successfully make their business explode, even if they have great ideas or a vision for how they COULD explode, it just isn’t possible to know if everything will align correctly. Contracts go south, market and global conditions can quickly change, some competitor ends up winning out, a big lawsuit happens, whatever. It really doesn’t matter how much you know about the business, there is always risk, and the risk is usually priced symmetrically with the potential reward because people are paid lots of money to try to find the asymmetric risk, the “easy” bet to make.

Or put it this way, the money really is in telling people you know how to make them money, or that you’re giving them the opportunity to make money. You sell them that. When some rando guy who was an investment banker for a while starts up his own hedge fund, he often has a vision for a product. Maybe it was the og people who sold volatility, or the quants who sell some algorithm, but the point is they go to rich people and institutional investors and say “I’ve got this new edge to put in your portfolio” and they get millions of dollars to manage and a cut. It doesn’t really matter if their shit is bullshit and underperforms, it potentially takes years to figure that out for sure. During that time they could make their own millions off of fees, and they could make connections and develop new products once their current one burns out.

But it’s important to note that even these people really don’t KNOW how to beat the market, and to the extent they’ve actually identified a niche in the market that pays off for now, it’s likely temporary and it is still just reducible to a good bet. That doesn’t mean they weren’t clever, but there are also a lot of clever people who make bad bets all the time. But the point is rich people want to buy clever people, so the real goal is to convince them you have a decent bet, something only their big money could buy. That’s a part of why finance is so opaque and dense, uncertainty is the ground for selling certainty. That’s what insurance does, they want you to think something bad could happen when it won’t.

If you want to trade you can just try to be clever, but just know it’s all a gamble at the bottom of it. I’m not discounting fundamentals or even reading graphs to try to find out where the crowd is or whatever. I’m just saying that it’s never certain. Retail traders gamble with their own money. Sure, you can trade on margin, but you’re still looking at getting wiped out. A hedgie doesn’t necessarily have to worry about getting wiped out. Of course they really don’t want to be wiped out, it would fuck their career, but I’m just saying if you make your money on fees then taking losses isn’t the end of the world. You get to keep all of the fees you’ve already made, so your real goal is just to keep convincing people to give you money. The retail trader just isn’t playing that game, they’re playing with their own money. They can have a great year, but then a bad year brings them back near the average and wipes out their big gains. Their money is always on the line, the climb up is very hard when you don’t get to profit from other people’s money.

TA can somewhat be useful for short term. It's the same way you trade intuitively, given an absence of other information, you set your limit order based on what it was priced at in the past. In the long term, things move semi-randomly due to happenings.

TA is entirely about liability prevention/compliance. By giving the illusion of semi-predictability and fairness, the degenerate gamblers and string-pulling cartels are able to limit the scope of regulations. It also helps that they now own their regulators lol

This was a trade from today. My execution was shit and typically I wouldn't buy it this high up but it had alot of volume coming off strong earnings, pivot break on the daily with a 5min falling wedge and ORB(opening range breakout) all lined up (multiple time frame analysis). The ideal entry would've obviously been the first pivot break but it had already gapped over it and then just ran straight up with no good looking entry on any time frame, so I was looking for a buy set up off the 9ema on the 5min. I record and log as many of my trades as possible and fine tune things all of the time. The trade went a minimum of 1.6 : 1 Risk/Reward (not ideal) and depending on what means you used to stop out and manage the trade it went as high as 4:1 and I was targeting upwards of $197-198 (targeting 5:1 / $1000 risk to make $5000 etc) Wasn't as clean of a trade as I would have liked and I was tired so it was more of a "test" trade with small size than a money making trade. Currently reviewing it and picking through the nitty gritty. The exit strategy I was using for this one was stops under the red/green/green bar sequences. Each time you have a red bar and then 2 consecutive green bars you put the stop loss under the low of the lowest of the 3 bar (typically it'll be the red one but not always and with a few cents of wiggle room so you don't get stopped prematurely).
>trader anon
Figure you faggots may be interested.
When entering a trade you should always....
1. Know where you are going to enter
2. Know where you are going to exit if you're wrong. (Knowing this allows you to calculate how much risk you are taking for that trade. If your entry is $95 and your stoploss is at $94 then you know that 100 shares is $100 of risk)
3. Know how you are going to exit if you are right. Partial lots, pivot exit, 9ema breakdown, etc...
4. Know your price target and make sure it has a minimum of 2:1 R/R potential.
5. Make sure the broader market isn't moving against you.

If TA works at all, then it should out perform a purely random trading strategy over time, even if pure TA informed trades aren't always good.

Markets aren't completely efficient so its not unbelievable to me that some TA techniques may work, but they're usually close enough to efficient that I'm very skeptical of the well known techniques. If there are TA techniques that do work, they're probably closely guarded secrets held by statisticians working at hedge funds and investment banks.

You don't need indicators. You just need to feel the market anon. You have no faith, I can see that—with your charts, and your graphs, and your numbers, and your formulas. You lack what an old friend of mine once called a certain je-ne-ca-pa-un-la-qoi. He told me before he died it was French, but never said what the words meant. I like to think that he never told me on purpose. Like I wasn't meant to know, y'know? Like I'm not really meant to know whether the price goes up or down... Or you're never meant to know who Stotch was or whether he'd be proud of who you are today. I'll say this though: I have one indicator that I always look to in times of doubt and need... It's faith. Do I have faith right now? Am I faithful in this trade right now? Am I faithful to my faith right now? Am I faithful that I'll still be buying le Bitcoin tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, next decade, right now? I don't know anon. But I do know this: whatever Stotch thought he knew about the markets, money, repetitive strain injury, God's plan even—it all pales in comparison to the human connection you and I have with the people on this board right now. Love yourself brother, and maybe everyone else will allow themselves to love you too. Ciao.

Technical analysis is just a probability modifier. Following the trend is like +10%, having a good pattern is like +5%, getting a good candlestick is like +5%. With this information you can very easily lose money like a retard or make money, albeit slowly. It's not about winning every time, it's about winning more often than you lose. Most lose money not because they're bad at trading but usually they put in way too much on way trade and rack disciprine to control themselves.

This is correct, because 90% of people buying stocks don't do technical analysis. To get rich you have to predict what the horde is going to do, which means you must be a little schizophrenic. Dividends and earnings don't matter at all because almost noone uses these things to determine which stock to buy.
