Title: So has bitcoin proved once and for all that TA is a pseudoscience? Post by: thms on January 04, 2015, 06:39:19 AM even those people who spent hundreds of pages discussing TA trying to predict btc price are now mostly gone.

I stopped posting my charts because it began to move the market due to front running my calls. Luc still posts when the action is here. S3052 felt the need to bump his thread today because the action returned... It's just that sideways ranges makes trading boring and the draw down grow. The whole spec forum quiets down during low volatility. It's nothing new. Title: Re: So has bitcoin proved once and for all that TA is a pseudoscience?

I use TA and I always predicted a bear market. But to be fair by bearish didn't come from TA, it came from just observing this scene. And reminded me of the penny stock scene Title: Re: So has bitcoin proved once and for all that TA is a pseudoscience?

Also, I think if you try make predictions w TA you're doing it wrong. All I use it for is to tell me the present by looking at the past.

There actually are patterns that repeat pretty reliably. At least the old effect of the self-fulfilling prophecy is real: If a lot of people believe in TA and watch similar indicators, they're bound to do the same thing at the same time, resulting in the outcome they expect.

Even if there was something to it, you can't do much when a tiny number of people have control over the price and can move it at will. I think this year is when we finally might see the emergence of a market that's somewhat based on reality. |
