The Spirit of Technical Analysis

In my opinion the Market Dynamics version of technical analysis is a tool for judging long-term trends and the reversals of direction of those trends. It is not a tool for prediction.
It has certain rules but it is more or less an art form – I certainly don’t believe it is scientific.
It helps in a majority of cases (65% to 75% estimate by WCA) and fails in others or at least the trends quickly change direction from what was hoped for!

If I can correctly gauge the direction of the long-term trend I will be able to advise and manage my portfolios successfully. If Market Dynamics is used with discipline - it will require the sale of losers and the retention of winners as long as they are able to perform. That, after all, is the key to successful portfolio management. WCA
