Why it is possible to predict price movement?

I would also like to chime in on why it is possible to predict price.

The reason is that you are not predicting price, you are predicting people. People are extremely predictable. This is why you can observe the same price patterns since the Japanese began trading rice with candlesticks 400 years ago.

This sounds a simple question, but it is not indeed. There are a lot of trading methods claim working. Nevertheless, I wonder in general what logic these methods based on in predicting price movement. Can anyone give me a good answer? Thanks, kk007
Go spend yourself some times to read Anna Coulling's "A complete guide to Volume-Price Analysis" book. The logics she states in the book might give you the answer

It is impossible to predict price change and get it right all the time. However, there comes a time when you observe the chart long enough and you're almost sure which way the price will move. Another time is when you know the currency is trading at an unusual rate (Mostly after an important news) and you know it is going to go back to its original position. I opened a position on USD/CHF and went to sleep beacuse I was so sure which way the price would go. I gained 25 pips

LOL ... that's what I've long suspected. ...

It's funny but it's like "predicting" is a dirty word in trading. I can't see why. Pulling the trigger is the last act of entering/exiting a trade. Nobody pulls the trigger without having "predicted" something first. Only question is, was their prediction right or not.

I think it's more about reading the People who are taking part within the Markets rather than trying to predict Price movement.

It's the emotions of the People taking part that moves Price.

As Price moves study what the participants are feeling to make the Market move.

I agree.We as trader are always predicting.Right or wrong is another matter.Many traders at the initial stage failed horribly and some could not recover from the terrible experience.Later on they always have this complex and really are afraid of this word 'PREDICTION',just like some God/Goddess who invariably punished humans for every wrongdoing.

Agreed, a distinct possibility long term. As I'm primarily a day trader (for now), I tend to only look a couple days to a week or two out so I don't normally mark levels much beyond that. I figure plenty of time to do so. So I guess "longer" to me is within a week or two. From what I've seen, most have varying ideas on Long, Mid, Short term.

I'm not really sure myself and I think it just depends on the individual but for me, Long is several weeks to months. Mid is several days to weeks and Short is intraday and less.

I think the price can be predicted if:
- you have an experience in trading;
- situation on the marker is quite stable;
- you're a lucky person
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
