He's full of shit. You can trade Bitcoin very well with just basic TA.

Tons and I mean tons of backtesting both demo and real time (protip: always use demo for practice don't fall for the "do real time trading because muh emotion control" meme). When I was new to trading I was able to make good trades but by the time I became somewhat of an expert on knowing a shitload of indicators and patterns I became a shit trader. Mark Douglas mentions this scenario in Trading In the Zone and frankly enough I got a bitter taste of that experience.
I literally have downloaded over 400 pdfs of the same subject. The thing with TA books is that they became repetitive and they don't offer new information.
Lol WTF I take it back user hahaha what did you do
Oliver Martinez
Can you share some book recommendations or upload somewhere? Would really appreciate!
Aiden Scott
You're so unfathomably dumb that I don't even know where to begin.
Andrew Reed
Lol those patterns only exist to hussle money from your ass to people who actually know what they're doing. You really thought that something like a H&S will make you money? A fucking toddler can do TA, there's 0 skill involved.
Jackson Smith
Pony up, jackass.
Michael Jackson
Indicators suck, the basic ones are good enough but you should be able to read charts without them.
What timeframe were you trading on? (Anything less than 4 hrs and you should fuck off)
Henry Richardson
ta books are largely worthless, you get 1 or 2 pieces of useful information out of 300 pages of filler

>protip: always use demo for practice don't fall for the "do real time trading because muh emotion control" meme Not sure what to tell you. I only paper traded for a couple months before diving in to real time trading. I could've studied it another year, but I doubt it would have made any difference. That was 12 years ago and I'm still trading full time, but I'd still bet I don't know or understand 80% of the techniques you listed.
Ethan Campbell
Do you have any sort of journal/screenshots of trades which failed that you can share? If not, what were the general reasons a trade would fail, were your stops too tight, were you consistently betting against Trend, did you ignore Higher Time Frame Moving Averages/Market Structure?
This is why I'd want to make regular threads demonstrating how I do discretionary trading, but I need to make it clear that I'm not going to get bogged down by addressing trolls. It would help folks like you.
Mason Nguyen
the problem is that TA is something where you can't quantify success easily in many cases. this makes too many brainlets write a book to profit from the suckers.
Gabriel Hernandez
I have an innate skepticism of people and I always assume they do something with a negative intention. Now why would OP tell people that TA sucks? Because he knows that it actually works and he wants to discourage everyone else from being educated on it. Nice try juden. Never trust anyone, anons! :^)
Ayden Nguyen
TA is mostly useless and at best they can helpful as there’s a self-fulfilling prophecy aspect to them.
Christopher Fisher
That's what I ask myself too but knowing too many patterns and indicators blinds you from the elephant in the room. Simply using price action and support/resistance was enough for me to able to not trade when BTC dumped from 7400 to 6100 and recently I shorted BTC at 6517.

didn't you guys realized yet that this game is rigged and the house will always win? just invest in something with fundamentals and let time appreciate your application
Matthew Hughes
September was bull market and mania phase after. You could throw a dart at coinmarketcap to pick a winner. Coins like nolimitcoin2 went parabolic. TA doesn't even figure into this story.
Grayson Bell
>did you ignore Higher Time Frame Moving Averages/Market Structure
I'll show you guys an example of this that I'm seeing play out right now on the GBPUSD pair.
Adrian Moore
All you need is the Hanging Sayori Pattern Works 100% of the time when it works
So, I'm watching the Weekly time frame, to see if it has any flow-on-effects to the lower time frames.
I've been long this pair since last, after the brexit news (some anons might remember that thread I posted, showed my initial failed attempt at playing news).
After that experience, I reduced my position, and focused on the Higher Time Frames.
why do you keep changing IDs? had to do it after posting those scam ebooks?
Cooper Parker
TA is crowd pshycology
Crypto is a small crowd and the majority are neets so whales which make the most impact are a lot more effective then the stock market
Stock markets a bigger crowd, but idk, I always thought ya worked better on stocks then crypto, crypto’s too inregulated and manipulated

A similar situation took/is taking place in Gold. After it's recovery off of the Monthly lows, their was a fight between Bulls and Bears near the 4hr 200SMA.
On breaking above the 4hr 200SMA, Bears came done hard, through the 10SMA, on the Weekly.
