Haha i know what you mean... As a scientist my self i have been studying fibonacci and elliot waves and trying to figure out how this can be an accurate science, and the true is that it isnt... There are psychological factors that drives the markets and some technical analysis can explain the behavior of certain markets but most of the time it works only to understand what happened and not what will happen...
I think most of the time trading is based on pure intuition, although TA can help to take decisions, every move you make can (and will) lead you into loose money most of the time... Physiological factors end up being much more important...
