An interesting academic paper by C Osler:Currency Orders and Exchange-Rate Dynamics: Explaining the Success of Technical Analysis (http://technicalanalysis.org.uk/trend/Osle01.pdf).

I appreciate these references. I did a search but couldn't find much refuting that charts are useful tools. Plenty on the dangers of trading though.

I like to browse the references at the end of these docs to see if anything else springs up, such as;

Chang, P.W.K., and C.L. Osler, "Methodical Madness: Technical Analysis and the Irrationality of Exchange-Rate Forecasts," Economic Journal 109 (1999): 636-661.

Dybvig, Philip H., "Inefficient Dynamic Portfolio Strategies or How to Throw Away a Million Dollars in the Stock Market," The Review of Financial Studies 1 (1988): 67-88.

Grinblatt, Mark, and Matti Keloharju, "What Makes Investors Trade?" Yale International Center for Finance Working Paper No. 00-02.

Neely, C.J., Paul A. Weller, and R. Dittmar, "Is Technical analysis in the Foreign Exchange market Profitable? A Genetic Programming Approach," Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis 32 (1997): 405-26,

Better read this one first though!
