Charting vs Guessing vs Lucking vs Fundamentaling
Post# of 997
..ok, so some of those words are made up.. but is chart reading also a fabrication? Perhaps...'Luck'? Many suspicious doubters use the phrase, "You had a 50/50 chance of being right."
Let's break one example down..and remember.. although many doubters tout I had a 50/50 chance of being right...
...in fact, hindsight is always 20/20 . Its too easy to discredit someone AFTER the fact.
TO THE CHARTS!

Let's break down this blubbering mess...
Way back on 12/12 I said, "Break .50 cents you doink!"
Ignoring the ' doink ' part, why would i have mentioned .50 cents on the 12th if XRP had never gone higher than .40 cents way back in May? Coincidence? Luck? Why would i think to even mention "50 cents", only for .50 cents to be hit two days later? Luck?
Those who invested based off of charts were buying on the 12th in anticipation of a soon to be EXPECTED run.
One day later, i not only wrote that .50 cents is VERY possible (not just possible) but that there was even a chance .60 would be hit the same week. And as we know, .60 was indeed hit the very next day.
Luck? Time travel? Coincidence?
In fact.. only 8 minutes later.. i said, "ill bet anyone a free Nano Ledger S we'll hit .50 in the next 12 hours or less." (red bubble)
..a few hours later.. .50 cents was indeed hit.
To the chart-doubting fundamentalist.. all of this was fake; made up; 'luck', even just a very extremely lucky 50/50 chance.
But looking at this logically through those fundamental eyes, getting three correct ideas in a row is not 50/50. its not even 40/60.
There is actually only a 0.125% of getting all of this correct..
...and thats assuming the choices were either 'heads' or 'tails' on a coin.
And to those doubting individuals, dont forget.. investing has MANY more possibilities and variables than a simple 2-headed coin!
Less than one hour later, i stated that my own personal charts which i dont share publicly showed .72 as a possibility.
Hours later.. .72 cents hit.
What doubters fail to (or purposely fail to) comprehend is that .72 cents did not HAVE to occur. I could have been wrong. and had i have been wrong, the same doubters would of had a field day exclaiming how charts dont work. Yet because the charts DID in fact work.. four times in a row in a span of only 2 days... its coughed up to 'luck'.
Im personally convinced those who doubt the power of charting, simply doubt because they dont have the skill to interpret a chart and are intimidated by them. It happens all the time throughout history.
Henry Morton thought the light bulb would be a specaculaur failure
Edison despised Nikola Tesla's AC invention because edison knew AC was the wave of the future.
Western Union saw no use for Alexander Graham Bell's telephone patent and turned him down.
The Literary Digest magazine in 1899 stated automobiles were only a fad.
The point here is that although technology changes, human progress is achieved, amazing advancements are reached... human ' nature ' never changes. We may all have smart phones, fast cars, amazing medical insurance, and endless knowledge through the internet..
..but when push comes to shove, people who doubt the power of charts would have gotten along extremely well with Henry Morton.
To those interested in learning how to properly chart, dont listen to the naysayers. Learn everything you can and you will eventually see a direct correlation between your charting skills and profit. When one goes up, so will the other.
