Dave,
Sorry, but my interest is merely respect that a technique such as
astrology/electromagnetics has found a legitamate place in trading.
Before I joined RT I would have scoffed at the notion. Hitt does not
seem to be able use astrology to further his trading aims. On the other
hand, Norman Winski, our resident RT astrologer, has a verifiable and
successful track record. Once again, it's probably not the technique
that's good or bad, but what the person using the technique brings to
the table. As for Rebecca Nolan - I can say I've heard the name, but
not much else.
As for being empiricist minded, I believe we must act within the
confines of our world view. Educating ourselves and being willing to
explore new and unusual venues allows us to alter and expand that view,
increasing the chances of our reaching an epipany. We certainly don't
have the physical or theoretical evidence to explain the correlations
between certain mass events and planetary positions and we most
certainly at this time cannot attribute causality.
Despite this, some traders make money using such techniques.
Chewing Before Swallowing,
