Yes, most people do lose. And if one relies on luck, it will eventually run out. I didn't mean to try to draw such broad comparisons, but there do seem to be some parallels. BTW, do you look at a chart to find support or resistance in the stocks you buy or sell? If so isn't that a form of T/A also?

Inmy yopunger days I took a card counting clas. Cost me $600. If I play in a 1, or 2 deck game the casino cannot beat me. BTW there are plenty of place in Vegas that still play 2 decks. If we play 50 hands an hour I have to win 8 to 10 percent more than I lose. So if I have proper money maangement. Bet 1 chip when deck is poor, 2 when deck is rich, 3/4 when deck is very rich. I should win 20 chips in a 2 hour sesssion. All this has been run through a computer at MIT ove 6 million hands. Its all very boring though so I find myself winning at blackjack and losing at craps which is exciting..
