Technical Analysis vs. Fundamental Analysis

[barney]

That looks great but the fact leverage was used in a strong bull market adds further perspective.

Agree ............

(My comments below are for traders who are either new to the game, ... or oblivious to the fact that they don't actually know everything!!)

Bottom line for me is (particularly if we are talking Stocks) ......

F/A is a "longer term" "I see value" scenario

T/A is a "shorter term" Lets take advantage of the current market conditions which "take advantage" of the current F/A conditions !!

eg. Position size yourself accordingly, relative to the market in general .... and relative to your own personal financial situation

You should trade leveraged in strong markets
The method is a long-- Longterm trading method
Many of us did the same with property leveraging even heavier.

The problem is?

I would also argue that everyone ( on this thread at least) is missing the key ingredient to wealth creation.
It has nothing to do with T/A or F/A.

No problem at all. I look forward to my opportunity.

When it comes to trading, I find that I'm still wrong most of the time.
But have these small windows when I find I'm just getting it right, I crank it up pretty hard still expecting to be wrong.
Never expect to be as good a tech analysts as Nick Radge or Techa even if I studied it for a life time! Knowing that makes me a great tech analyst - strength.
Techs free and Nicks very reasonable.
I'm too lazy and stupid to be a good fundamental analyst so I just listen, listen and ask questions of smart people at some point something really just makes so much sense.
Know thy self. Stupid? - delegate and delegate.

Trend following has been such a hit through the last bull market, it like everything else, is going to have it's ruptions - sideways - Japan like new trend! Has been for 3 years, how to play it?
Small short paired to big long that stacks up fundamentally after weekness. Increase short on pair, as it rises, but not to larger than the long, market keeps falling buy the short buy more of the long if you still have room for it. Reduce the long if it's still allot longer after a rise. Start shorting the pair again, as it rises. Keep doing it.
I always think I'm going to lose on the short because I’m a bull and an optimist most of the time, but I keep making money on the short which just proves I have no idea!
I go to bed at night thinking I should or baught back all that short, futures are up, I'm a dick. Then the markets down!
I'm a loser!
I can't do anything right which for some stupid reason is profitable!

Hi Alpha_Bet, ASF does not generate popups of any kind. This advertisement is probably being generated by some kind of malware or spyware on your PC.

I recommend installing some anti-virus software such as AVG and scanning your PC for infections.

Oh --- and the secret is edge and compounding

While important to some edge is not necessary
Any idiot can make money in a bull run--- housing boom---- oil shortage----
Compounding --- sure if your profitable.

But in MY view not THE secrete to wealth creation.

saving more than you spend.......

for me it has been edge & gearing
and persistence...........................

 

[tech/a]

Ok

--- made your million yet---
Rhetorical question
Meant for you to look at your secretes to wealth and see if they have worked.

In answer to your ( subconscious ) question --- yes

Any idiot can make money in a bull run

and the ability to take the other side and go short........

Yeh really has me motivated.
Just like the thread I started on Technical Analysis.
Just get rubbish for effort.

So work it out yourself.
Like I did.

Even the greatest band leaders get heckled.

Heckler, "Get a hair cut."
"What, an look like you," Mick Jagger.(in the early days)

There r far more appreciating eyes and ears than loose mouths.

A generous spirit never knows poverty! Keep it, I say!

My comment was taking the Micky out of myself, sorry if it sounded otherwise.

sorry

I was also trying to convey that there is no trading here it's a chat room!!!
