There are people killing the lottery too.

horrible analogy for the guys killing the markets i mentioned. simons isn't some lottery winner. neither is shaw. there are TONS of TAs though that of course this analogy could very aptly apply to ... but simons and shaw aren't two of them.

i guess this really goes back to the #1 thing that spider said: wtf is TA??
define it for me in a way you'd like to discuss so i can better understand how you'd like to bucket some of hte strategies and i'll do my best to respond.
overall though i think "chartists" are the least likely to produce anything (i.e. mandelbrot's suckers) excess return wise. but i don't know whether you group in highly quantitative trading rules that seek out small differenciations in prices and how they react to things over time. is that TA?
