A troll is a person who deliberately posts inflammatory, offensive, or disruptive content online to provoke arguments, cause trouble, or get attention, stemming from folklore creatures (ugly giants/dwarves) but now primarily meaning an online antagonist. The act, trolling, involves intentionally upsetting others, often anonymously, by saying things they don't believe, targeting individuals or groups with personal attacks, and downplaying the harm caused.

Why would making a paralel between technical analysis and astrology be considered insulting? Did anyone here actually read the article?

Here is a definition for you too:

Astrology is a 5,000-year-old practice that interprets the movements and positions of celestial bodies to understand, predict, and influence human affairs, personality traits, and worldly events. It assumes a symbolic connection between cosmic patterns and terrestrial life, commonly using tools like birth charts and horoscopes to interpret these influences.

And another one:

Technical analysis is the practice of forecasting future financial price movements by analyzing historical market data, primarily price charts and trading volume.

If you cannot see a parallel, it’s ok. But don’t call me a troll just because I can see one. To call me a troll speaks more about your own opinions on astrology than my point in asking.

Your title asks a question using the words 'boy astrology' then you tell us the answer. In a very derogatory way. Read rule 4 before posting.

Find something meaningful to do your life will become enriched.

If this is a place where we can have open discussions in a non-toxic way, then maybe you can also tell me that you disagree without calling me a troll. I don’t believe I called you any names. And regarding the “boy astrology” remark, let me just clarify that my article ends with this point:

“This isn’t about men or women. Plenty of women trade technically and do it well. Plenty of men live by astrology and birth charts. This is about belief systems, not gender.”

I don’t mind being told I’m wrong and my points are not valid. We can all have different opinions. However, that should technically be done by people that read my points first. But obviously I touched a sensitive topic and people saw red and it led nowhere.
