Very interesting.

  1. How does the writer define technical analysis?
  • Technical analysis is a risk management tool that can be used to derive probabilistic, actionable, and risk-defined trading setups on an instrument
  1. What are technical analysts looking to identify in the market?
  • The point of technical analysis isn’t to outperform professional desks and firms, it’s about whether it can help a trader carve out an edge and a positive expectancy in the market(s) they trade
  1. How would you summarize the authors argument that technical analysis works?

  • Not all technical analysis is equal — it’s much more likely to work for someone who takes it seriously (disciplined, systematic, etc.) than someone who just takes a punt

  • Don’t get sucked into the technicals vs fundamentals argument — focus on whichever works best for you and have at least an elementary grasp of the other
