Yo emperor dude,
yet again we come down to time frames.

You are absolutely right, TA does try to predict the future.

So many of the 'debates' on this forum come down to a question of time frames.

Some of the snotty comments you have copped have come from people who feel that predicting the future in trading is not possible, and they are right, but only as far as it concerns the distant future.

By definition we, as traders, are trying to predict the future, at least as far as our positions are concerned.
The ones that make the best predictions make the most money!
Trying to push that predictive ability too far into the future causes similar problems to that long term weather forcasters face........ too many variables.

Don't let them get to you imperial dude.
