Big picture, macro insight and tracking flows useful with 5% of one's time (not your 95%) like some FA guys do would be fine; kind of like the difference between astronomy and astrology. Extremes etc are entirely observable and TA demonstrably applicable in a trending market. FA quantifies facts with graphical representations which can include TA as above. But chart crime and TA prophets prognostications tend to be self-serving.

@PeterLBrandt on Twitter is a humble and wise trader of the very few I respect. Most of what passes as TA here on HC is nothing more than dishonest momentum traders pumping/down ramping low liquidity stocks for a few bucks by being scummy scammers. Anyone who posts claiming TA certainties should be laughed out of here.

I don't regard your good self as a TA analyst - TA analysis doesn't involve certainties, only probability.
Maybe because I only hang around those with decades of experience and success.

So when are you going to abandon the dark side? Or put up "L" plates on your avatar.

There is always something more to learn.
