Is technical analysis a legitimate way to make money or just a scam? And if it isn't a scam, why do top investors never mention it?

It's about as legitimate as looking at cloud patterns for stock price information.

The only people who shill it have an agenda.

TA is useless for crypto. Its useful for traditional boomer stocks where you don't see more than 5% changes in daily prices.

Waste of time and possibly money. Way better to research, buy low and hodl till moon. Most people that made it on crypto haven't drawn a single line their entire life

TA on stocks seems to work just fine in the short term, but looks like FA is better for the long term.

>> No.26159445

TA literally only works on Bitcoin.

Other than that it’s mostly random crap made by idiots who can’t read white papers or spend 10 minutes a week reading news about their investment.

there are a lot of TA, and yes, some of them work

It's based on statistics, so it isn't a scam, but I don't feel like just using TA is effective. One industry I see a lot of similarities is in marketing (marketing basically just gambling with people's emotions to get them to buy your stuff). Some people lean really, really heavily on metrics, but they quite often don't tell the whole story.

Like, Ive had ads with a 7% clickthrough rate (a phenomenal result) get outperformed by similar ads with a 1% ctr in terms of ROI. The difference? My first ad captivated, but it didn't qualify prospective buyers hard enough. By turning customers away right at the start, I made my business more profitable. If I just went on performance metrics, I probably would have kept running the ad that showed a way higher interest, but actually wasn't capturing the interest of my target audience.

So ya tl;dr, TA is a tool, but it shouldn't be the only tool you use

TA is useless. It does not work on stocks and it sure as fuck doesn't work on crypto. Any retard that tells you he has a system is just a lucky retard whose chances of committing sudoku increase the longer he plays with ta.

Read something like Winning the Losers Game, A Random Walk Down Wall Street, and The Intelligent Investor. Any kind of system is nothing but luck.
