Compare these two charts and ask yourself which one has more room for upside?
Random data
invariably shows some pattern, so you can take any source of data, find some seeming correlation and adduce it as a proof of your point (whatever it might be)...
Nothing to compare here
Another random walk academics and/or efficient market theorist.
So, you think all these (W.D. Gann, R. N. Elliott, John Bollinger, and many others) hard workers wrong?
Lol, it seems that you don't even see that what I said is actually contrary to the idea of an efficient market. Regarding Ralph Elliott and Co, they are as right as a broken clock is correct about twice daily. For anyone curious, I personally tested EUR-USD tick data for a few years time span with different incremental settings, and, you guess, the data confirms virtually any assumption about repetitive patterns that you can only think of, given the right settings...
But I wouldn't risk my money on using found patterns as a basis for a trading strategy. It might work (for some time), but that would be purely coincidental, alas
