It's worth the investment in time to get to know! http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/ http://www.r-bloggers.com/

R (which is free) If anyone knows of a nifty chart or graph that can't be done in R, please post. There's a few I've imagined that do not exist, but most are feasible.

Guess I was in sync.:) If anyone following along enjoys reading and is interested in a few good related layman books, I would suggest the following low cost paperbacks for coffee table perusal (no order, but sornette is the hardest to digest without a math/financial market bckgrnd). Sync...

I will take a stab at what Maestro is proposing (although I may be 100% off the mark). It is perfectly consistent with my earlier notion of flocking behavior and complex systems moving to order during vulnerable events. Imagine that you represent a time series as a sequence of binary (or...

Here we go with the "plunge" headlines again. About 2% across the board-- OMG. If I were doing text based mining, I wouldn't be surprised to see a correlation between the word plunge followed by a further drop in the day. Based upon empirical observations, it seems to be the norm (even if...

Of course-- but considering the audience, I'm not so sure many will be able to distinguish differences, even when explained. I do hope people will give you a chance to speak without trying to thrash the thread; you are one of the few people who have added profound insights to my own...

I'm glad to see the discussion has evolved a bit and some posters have put aside petty ego conflicts. Maestro, glad to see you are well and sparking discussion again. Regarding Chaos, I've done some studies in this area and came to the conclusion it is not chaotic in the strict sense...

Pass -- as well, just had fun guessing.

what is copper?

That actually had me on the floor.:D Well done.

Amid all the market volatility and weakness in the financial sector of late, you may have missed this WSJ front page story: "States Go After Big Bank on Forex". The story is about growing scandal in the banking industry centered around banks allegedly overcharging pension funds for currency...

As far as indicators go, that's a pretty sweet looking indicator.:D I like to think of the sandpile metaphor, you can keep dropping grains of sand and as the pile builds up, there's a certain critical instability threshold to it. Some don't exceed the threshold enough to go unstable, others...

I don't see a whole lot of any amazing new architecture here. The basic practice of putting neurons on a silicon chip has been addressed decades ago by Carver Mead and staff at CalTech. Nor would I suspect that the underlying circuits are all digital. The key, IMO, is more of the what are...

Path dependency or path asymmetry if you like. By doubling incremental values of steps in a random (even deterministic) trajectory, the new trajectory measurements at longer lengths will not scale at double the underlying termination measure. Read here for an illustration...

http://intelligenttradingtech.blogspot.com/2010/08/conditioning-systems-on-regime.html Similar concepts here. Less dynamic as it is an illustration, of course. But it is interesting to hear the terminology 'morphing,' I'm more familiar with dynamic, adapting, or evolving.

Bet that's a relief for those who took a nibble-- was looking pretty bleak earlier.:D

1120 looks like a lower limit on historical modeling (that being said, it's not like there's a lot of data pts to model here). Nice exit though, not worth squeezing every penny, IMO.

Looking deeply red at the moment. Captured for posterity's sake for comparison to later in the evening. Not to make any predictions, but it sure feels a lot like the 08 action, IMO. Lots of longs were lulled into buying on positive earnings reports (and prior buy the dip conditioning), however...
