TA is largely bs You can't bring strict systems into a dynamic market environments and expect them to work. Just because assets had certain patterns in the past does not mean its guaranteed to do the same in the future. This is why I largely avoid TA as a concept. There are certain indicators that help you see things that a normal candlestick chart can't but you can't use it as proof that it has to happen again. Whatever indicators you are using, think about what this is telling you and why it's important. If you can't articulate that it's probably best to cut it out. You can't overfit certainties in an inherently uncertain market.
