Hi Lee, you noted: ... so when we discuss the attributes of TA, shouldn't we set clear conditions or assumptions? Of course! And that's the point. You need a way to test the hypothesis and the hypothesis is testable only if it can be shown to be wrong. The problem is that the TA folks have an explanation for everything, therefore you cannot come up with a set of circumstances that could demonstrate the fallibility of the hypothesis. Since theses people have promulgated the hypothesis I would ask them what set of circumstances would indicate that it is wrong. I have yet to come up with an answer. That's why I pointed to the possible outcomes of the "support" hypothesis. You are correct in positing the reasonableness of multiple causes for market behavior. Multiple regression models are designed to test those kinds of hypotheses. TTFN, CTC
