Re: [sharechat] TA Rules

Hi all,
 
I think it's time for a stimulating grown-up debate ...
 
I believe toilet paper rolls should be hung in such a position as to allow the paper to flow with the least amount of resistance, therefore; the next available sheet should be hanging down at the back of the roll in what I prefer to call the 'underhang' (as opposed to 'overhang') position.
 
Apart from my personal preference, I admit to having no real qualifications in this discipline.
 
The debate is now open and contributions are welcome from both 'underhangers' and 'overhangers' alike.
 
Regards,
Cris
 
PS Just a little light-hearted play to end the day.

Woody, you made a suggestion that F/A would have lead to you buying
AMP before the share price plunged, not buying Chrysler before the
share price rocketed, and buying into Enron.   I have pointed out to you
that certainly with a value investors F/A hat on that 'value F/A'  would not
have lead you to buy AMP nor Enron.    Given the nature of F/A you will
also know that it cannot predict takeover offers out of left field.    The
idea that F/A failed to predict a merger between Daimler Benz and
Chrysler should come as no surprise to those who know how company
specific F/A works.   

Of course being a 'pure T/A' guy, you don't care how F/A works.  But this
is your own chosen path.    If you seriously want to debate the merits of
T/A vs F/A, you have to make the effort to understand how F/A people
think, even if you don't agree with it.    If you willfully ignore all aspects
of F/A culture then having an F/A vs T/A debate with you is pointless.

If you make a statement on F/A you cannot expect an answer back in
the language of T/A.   The idea that T/A may *also* have saved you from
those situations has nothing to do with the point I was making.

Now let me throw a T/A question at you, which I hope you can accept
such a thing from someone who quote :

"would not even buy an icecream on your Knowledge of TA ."

as you put it.    Let's see if you can come up with something positive this
time.

If you are trading trends you are saved by your stop loss if the trend
goes against you.    But if you trade too often around small rises that in
itself can have a negative affect on your returns.    

How do you get the balance right so that your stop losses are not so
aggressive that they strip the best profits from your trading?
