OK, colleagues... since the opponent has already left our tiny friendly battle scene we can now talk about the market's randomness and its predictability seriously... the point is that even mathematically the term "random" is not equal to the term "unpredictable"... they are non synonymous... such an important part of math as the "Probabilities Theory" studies randomness and has already achieved some great results.. especially over the last few centuries... I personally used it for some practical purpose and for me it took a couple of months to figure out an algorithm for some Californian lottery and then just a couple of week to hit a jackpot... later I even wrote a book about it also... however it has nothing to do with the financial markets in general and Forex in particular... TA, being a very young and still developing science, nonetheless has already outlined and confirmed that the markets are not quite random in fact... there are lots of studies proving this very idea... the problem is not the TA itself, but people's inability to take advantage of that knowledge... and it's very complicated indeed...
