The thing with TA is..nothing about it can inherently provide an edge in trading/investing on its own.

All TA does is clarify data that's already revealed in the chart. Since that data is already revealed though, the market is smarter, faster, and more capable of pricing that information in before you do. It's the house that always wins, like a casino.

This is also why I and many equate TA to astrology. You have all the data you need to develop your own "unique" thesis.

And the smaller of a market you wander into, TA becomes less and less relevant as the data set shrinks. The house is revealing less information to you, so your odds of outsmarting it become lower and lower. Hence risk:reward.

Where I do acknowledge TA's benefit is in improving your own intuitive sense of the market. It helps you recognize patterns over time with enough repetition, and so you can use TA as a more mathematical gauge of your own prediction making senses.

But that's all it is at the end of the day: guesstimated prediction making -- which is why traders lose like 99% of the time.

Just doing the FA -- learning Bitcoin -- and doing other cool shit with life is much easier imo.
