"thanks but I did quite well trading stocks using TA" VARIANCE You're almost as lucky as Rob!
Yeah. 42 years of variance, quahaug.
I used to write for Barron's. I did business reviews. I used technical analysis as part of the stock analysis.
And 27 years of losses at the casinos....eventually ya gotta figure it out -- there is no "magical winning system" with analysis/money management/etc. As long as the casino has the edge....don't expect to win anything.Quote:

So, so funny. We get to witness yet ANOTHER instance where arci steps into his own trap. Mr. "all-detail-all-the-time/just-setting-the-record-straight-with-only-the-facts" now finds himself needing to tongue-twist his way out of this.
It just doesn't get any better than watching a geek squirm in his own pile of BS!
The key is "part" of stock analysis. It's the part that examines trends in the past not the future.Quote:

Or you could keep it simple Alan, just roll one die repeatedly and see if you can analyze the pattern of 2s that you throw. Then you can say with total confidence you know exactly what the odds of your next toss being a 2 is. 1 in 6.
Yous guys are comical.
This is not about simulating hands, Arc.
This is not about rolling a single die, qua.
What we have here can best be described this way: closed minds think alike.
I'm sorry I bothered you with an idea.
You guys already know all the answers. How stupid can I possibly be not to think that the world's brain trust is right here and already has all the answers.
That's what you get for asking the same old and by now dumb question over and over. The answer is you cannot predict the future of random events based on a "pattern" of random events in the past. That answer will never change ever. Get over it Alan!
You are 100% certain of this -- and all of the elements contained in your question?Quote:

I will give you one "variable" which the brain trust is not considering: fatigue.
Charting your results could show the influence of fatigue on your decision making. Want some more?
This is a real problem for people who are narrow minded. They make up their minds based on their own priorities and fail to consider other variables.
Alan is correct regarding fatigue. It should show up on that kind of charting.
But of course, unless notes (or video) are taken, the effects of distractions, alcohol, and so on will go unnoticed, thereby corrupting any results. If, for example, one makes errors when artificially enhanced bosoms wander by, then T&A will have rendered TA useless.
Anyone who is playing when they are mentally compromised is not going to be worrying about a TA. Good grief.
Arci, I like that term -- "mentally compromised." That's another one I'll borrow. Some of us spend most of the day mentally compromised.
Actually, if you actually studied TA you would find that all of these factors are considered in stock market pricing. For example: stock prices when charted reflect sales, profits, margins, taxes, news, emotions, sales forecasts, etc.Quote:
