After 15 years in the currencies market, I still think there is no case for technical analysis without human interpretation.

From organizing and running a forex trader group since 2004 and being actively involved in seminars and events on currency trading, I met a lot of people who trade. Most lost money but a few survived and thrived.

Every consistently successful trader I knew was the brains behind their methodology. It was a unique methodology to them. They used various technical analysis tools like strength meters and MACd. None got their system from the internet. They all had a different approach.

These successful people were able to predict the future of a particular currency or commodity for a few minutes using their ability to think for themselves.

The ability to successfully speculate in currencies and coins requires an in-depth understanding of the fundamental factors involved. Paying attention to the economic reports for the day is crucial when trading currencies. A world currency can move wildly if a government report isn't what the market expected. A digital currency doesn't flinch except for its relationship to the FIAT its measured with. As in BTC/USD

In digital speculation, you need to understand the social aspects of digital currencies. Crowd behavior is important, and news items on twitter or Reddit can fluctuate a digital currency like crazy. Digital money is minimal in volume right now compared to the FIAT currencies. I feel that trading digital coins with technical analysis at this stage of growth are almost useless under most conditions.

I feel it can be used to give you clues on what people may do based on what they did in the past, but basing a trading decision solely on technical analysis is going to be as disastrous with cryptos as it has been for forex players. People are not rational.

A digital exchange consists of a few hundred individuals who want to exchange money, coins, or tokens for various reasons. It is a very tiny digital coin marketplace right now. Each exchange has its own players and prices. Mostly, the exchanges in digital consist of regular people like you and I. Some are buying at whatever price the market asks, and others are observing for a great entry price. The digital market is volatile for a multitude of reasons.

Speculators must look into the future. The latest buzz and news in crypto can help you make decisions. There have been dozens of brilliant trading methods involving data collection and overall, the more data you have your hands on, the better. In the end, the successful digital traders are the ones who know how to think on their own.
