"so if you proved PTATR was a money maker ..."

That's actually possible, though it's not strictly a mathematical proof. I won't rely on the spreadsheets associated with PTATR, because I find the reasoning behind a list of, say, 1500 daily gainers and losers somewhat suspect.

Would you allow something of a philosophical proof? My argument (a little simplified for the sake of brevity) would go something like this:

PTATR is the work (and word) of an infallible TA guru. Therefore, it must be a money maker.

I think that about does it. But that may already have been the basic argument behind it, and my proof may not be entirely original. I've no doubt that a mathematical proof could be developed, too -- or maybe just a numerological proof, based on the number of lines in the scan.

But I'm focused on something that requires all my attention right now (something cool & refreshing in a glass), so I'll have to let others work on the proof.
