    Hi Shabbir

    I came across recent posts that questioned the TA methods itself. Below are some links. What are your thoughts on this?

    I am not sure if understanding chart patterns proves useful or a combination of fundamentals and technicals are useful. There is just so much out there, that it overwhelms ordinary investors like us.

    Your thoughts?? :paranoid:

    There are exceptions in every theory and none of the theory is 100% full proof and so I don't care what people say. If it works for me is all I care and if I have good success ratio, is what matters to me the most.
