Shailu, I respect your opinion, but the reason I'm refuting it is because of clear evidence of the TA's always winning the day.
Just like I told Raj, follow the chart on USD/CHF over coming weeks and tell me what luck had to do with dropping it 700 pips from current level.
You might say you don't trade that market. I don't trade Nifty, but used my technicals only to forecast the drop.
I can prove this on charts when the news hits that news does create spikes in the price action, but it is always contained within the technical parameters. In my own thread we were talking about how last Friday's NFP was going against the USD, then reverse after the news. In other words with the technicals, we were able to forecast the news. Price action did spike against the USD, then took off after the news in favor of the USD.
Respectfully, I'm saying to not cop out by using luck. Master your methodology, then there is no need to lose in any market.
After all, markets can only move up or down so you already have a 50% chance. Master the methodology, and I promise you your odds greatly increase.
(Yeah, yeah, now I won't shut up.) This is not a knock on FA traders. It is hard for me to imagine (Not saying it is impossible.) how someone wins consistently using 100% FA's. I'm also not saying that someone is wrong for trading in using them. But, it is not luck when the market go in the trader;s favor. It is pure skill, and years of hard work and dedication.
