just finished reading the article "A spat appears to be brewing in the ego-driven world of technical analysis (between)..Roffey.....and Mark van der Byl....". Have always know that this tv and internet talking heads are driven by ego and the expense of unsuspecting public.

there is lots of competition for a limited number of subscribers...though our country lags other countries, the level and volume of education is increasing the number of people who dont need a subscription service...so there is competition for "uneducated" and with competition comes the ....

Hi Mark, I certainly have read the article and I fully agree that Roffey needs to update that portfolio on Monday. We have asked him and expect him to. Kind regards, Giulietta

Now this is not good and I have sent a complaint to SBG securities: The following post on the forum is clearly offensive. Please take note of the " previously disadvantaged".The insult is certainly racist and directed to all nonwhites. Also this thread has prancing horse making defamatory statements concerning a person called "Roffey". Cheap and prancing horse should be given a warning and or banned from the forum.

Back to Roffey............. just proves pure technical analysis does not work on it's own. When I used to watch him on Summit - he comes across as a "know all" and arrogant!

Listen here Rams, buy a copy of Finweek and on the cover you will read "Roffey- crook or guru". If I had stated "I don't think Roffey is a crook" are you suggesting that that means I think he's a guru.You are a prized idiot..go and tell the powers that be that. I'm sick and tired of you p.....g on my battery.

Chas you raise a very interesting topic. Its is absolutely true that technicals analysis does not work all the time...if it did we would all be billionaires. So if we say it doesnt work all of the time how often or rather with what level of certainty does it work? Well the way I view it is because we can never know (some have tried to quantify it but without any convincing results) is that it only gives us the slightest of edges. But having said that its all we need and all should ever assume. If you think of it in this way you will never become so sure about a trade that you will get in over your head or hang onto a loss situation beacuse you think the technicals will triumph. As traders we need to become like a Casino. The Casino does not care about individual gamblers ...it is quite happy to have lots of winners and losers but the Casino (i.e. its owners) know that it has the edge ...the odds are only very slightly stacked in its favour (some say by only 3%) and thats all it needs to make a huge profit. So we use tecjnical analysis for short terms trades for sure...using a combo of the fundamentals and technicals is a lethal mix. This can even be said for longer term trades. True investors who have access to real financial data are able to use fundamentals but the people who have the skills and mentality to do this are few and far between. I hope this kinda explains my view on this which is based on personal experience with trading.

Wanted to add that just because Roffey gets it worng we should not throw out TA. It is on record that I have stated time and time again that he has brought the discipline of technicals analyis into disrepute by his venal and tendentious approach. He has an agenda and this has clouded his analysis. Dont also forget that Roffey has no training in technical analysis and he is not accredited by any TA body of repute. In fact his claims and techniques used are spurious and incorrect...I have had direct communication from Wells Wilder to this effect so I am not making this up.

Yet another post where prancing horse continues to be insulting. The rules have been breached despite the content of the forum rules being brought to his/ her attention: "            Re:Re:Re:Finweek- Roffey, crook or guru by prancing horse on 08 Sep 07:59            Listen here Rams, buy a copy of Finweek and on the cover you will read "Roffey- crook or guru".

Sent to SBG Securities...its okay to argue the issues but not okay to hurl insults....as I cannot throw back insults , the only option I have is to report this to SBG.

formal training that is...or at least none which he has been able to prove. This from Roffey himself regarding his claim of inventing an indicator (which had already been described by wells Wilder)...some of Roffeys claims....I published divergence at the same time as Wells Wilder. I could not care less if he doesnÂ’t know. Clive Roffey...Wells wilder reply....I never co-invented anything with anybody that I know of. I donÂ’t even recognize any of the names below. Welles Roffey's response....I used reverse divergence a few months after I published standard divergence in 1976. I found it to be so powerful that I did not publish it. Why give everyone else a fantastic money making tool!! The next time I saw it was with Caldwell and Caroline BrownÂ’s books long after I used it. By that time I had already moved beyond their simplified version. I now use it every day with my powerful improvements Cliev Roffey.......YOU FIND SOMETHING SO POWERFUL THAT YOU DONT PUBLISH IT?....
