I know the TA is difficult but the point is I would definitely be in by $1000 probably nowhere near $1000, so everyone telling me about how I'm going to end up chasing the price forever has an invalid point.
Unless you have buy orders at 970 or whatever you will be left behind when just 1 big whale starts buying and you're not behind your computer for 10 mins. And absolutely nothing your TA can do about it. Let alone predict it. It's ridiculous to count on TA when it comes toBitcoin. It's just gambing with your money. But hey, the last thing i could care about is a bear left behind with all his charts, lines and fibs wondering what the hell just went wrong. So feel free to continue.
Sounds to me like your battle cry essentially boils down to If I'm not able to do it, nobody else is able to do it either. Bit immature if put like that, huh?
Or do you have any actual arguments as to why TA is completely, universally, across all time frames useless when applied to BTC. Because of whales? That would add an element of uncertainty to your analysis, but wouldn't necessarily make it useless -- keep in mind, the goal is not to be profitable all the time, but to make an overall profit over a long enough time span.
I'm just responding even though you didn't address me because it's kind of painful to read blanket statements like that... based on a "good" TA call I managed to pretty much exactly double my no. of coin in the immediate aftermath of the double top, and based on another "bad" TA call, but combined with proper risk management, I took a hit of less than 1% (the trades itself were basically neutral, but after fees apply, it was the small minus). So how often, and how consistently do I need to stay in the plus to allow myself the delusion that careful usage of TA is in fact profitable?
