{quote} Sure. Take the swing high on the week of Jan. 27, 2013, which was 1.37102. Find the square root of that number, which is 117.090. Then take 117.090 and subtract 2, then square 115.090, which is 1.3245. Two represents a circle in trig. That's why that number bothers me.


...this is a chaotic system, dude. Fundamentally driven, technically corrected, ruled by supply and demand + psychology of the crowd.

"Square roots" donīt work and will never work as market participants donīt make decisions about value expressed in PA based on "square roots".

I know itīs in a human nature to look for some kind of order everywhere. But thatīs also why so many traders fail in this place, especially the very smart ones.

Give up on square roots and focus on PA. It will pay off.

{quote} Gann is the same voodoo as Elliot waves or astrology applied on trading. Disproven several times. You guys should stop looking for tools to make a mess of your charts and make it literally impossible to read PA and instead, focus on essentials. Trading is literally very simple, donīt complicate it. Itīs ok to use one or two simple indies (MA, MACD...) + volume for clarity but thatīs all about you really need. Trust me.
True, to an extent. Like you said, not to long ago, if it works for you, and makes you green pips, that's all that matters. But, the longer that I'm in this, the simplier, the better, yes. A good old horizontal line does wonders. Buy above it, sell below it.

Yes. But chickened out. The whole R:R factor. What if, that type of thing. Mind games.

{quote} that goes for all forms of TA, doesnt it?
Not entirely, also depending on what do you consider as TA...Some patterns tend to work as they reflect human nature (double tops/bottoms, for instance, marking levels of heavy supply or demand), some candlestick patterns make sense as well. But these are more of PA studies than TA really.

As I said, some tools of TA could give you a decent heads up in terms of PA, something you find hard times to see with bare human eye. Take divergences on oscillators. They are useful, trained eye wonīt need a indi to recognize a last knee-jerk rally on low volume, but itīs sometimes good to have it there for clarity.

Well chosen MA can give you a decent "frontline" to separate the battle ground into bullish and bearish area.

And so on...

...just keep it simple.

any form of investment decision really, that is based on price.

I think I know the basic premises of TA. Point is, scientists say itīs all junk, donīt they? I believe "noise trading" is the term they use at the moment. Yes, once in a while there is the odd paper, claiming to have found evidence that, under certain circumstances, in certain markets, select technical trading strategies can beat totally random entries, but they are a minority (maybe they just want to stand out among their peers - lol). So I find it odd when one technical trader mocks anotherīs method as being "scientifically disproven". On what "scientific grounds" does your approach stand?
