    It’s definitely just Maths with feelings sprinkled on top.

    If you read a book by any investor they’ll talk about the irrationality of the market. They’ll say how daytrading should be mathematically impossible, but admit how some people do profit a lot from it.

    I wouldn’t call it pseudoscience, because it’s like mixing maths with psychology.

      It’s a soft science at best, but some people try to treat it like it’s a hard science.

      I still hold that it displays characteristics of pseudoscience by operating on unsound premises and unverifiable assumptions though
