For all my 5 months in trading, I'm learning only technical analysis but now everyone is talking about the concept of "Smart Money". So I think that trading is changing and speculators should stop trading based on technical analysis. Or smart money just a concept that cannot possibly work in the market,
Definitely yes, TA works and I know a lot of traders who are making big money by doing trade and analyzing the price trend. You just have to find the perfect indicators that can tell you when to buy and sell, and you’ll be good.
There is no shortcut in trading, you have to analyze and smart money will not always be there. The moment you trade without any analysis, I consider it as gambling and the risk are high if you’ll do it.
