I agree.. If I predict,in a way, I'm attempting to impose my will on the market..I've tried that and it doesn't work<g>. I try to go with the current bias..You, that are successful picking upside and downside targets ,and get it, my hat off to you..I can't, so I don't try..
On every trade I know what I am willing to loose and if I did it right (to me) hopefully that loss will mean that some perceived support was violated..
From Wyckoff..Enter a position at an danger point..These points represent minimum risk..You are entering where the smallest amount of movement , in the wrong direction will clearly indicate an error in judgement..

< Measurement is of the past>

Yes of course TA looks to the past, but there is no purpose to it without the goal of predicting future action from it.

That is a statement of fact.

You may disagree with that fact, but that doesn't change the reality of it being a fact.

A train track has a beginning, but it's purpose is not for remaining at the starting point.
