Here's something, what it's worth I don't know. Did you ever notice how what one is most likely to critisize another for is a behaviour they are most likely to exhibit? Of course, to put this in the third person is a bit counter-intuitive. The point is that we (or I) am most likely to place...

Exactly. Good work.

I'd like to see an infinite loop of complaints... so WDGann, that last post really irked me and I wish it would stop - that you would stop - ARGH! I can't stand it. Something makes me read what you say and it is so annoying... what you say - not that I have to read it. And then, I...

You'll have to go through me first.

If you know that he is seeing what you write here, then wouldn't it stand to reason that you've already gotten your answer?

sorry Grob, I've always aimed at keeping things clear and concise otherwise, information is lost in a mass of words and taunts, etc. if things seem out of my scope I try to give them (and me) time to develop, or I'll maybe move them to another forum

Do you find/look for similiar patterns on varying timeframes for confirmation of a signal? This would include but not be limited to, similiar support/resistance, classic setups (e.g. head and shoulders), and/or indicator readings.

SNAP!

Really? I didn't get that memo... this could be a problem.:)

thankyou bd, very interesting.

To make a Cantor set, you start with the interval of numbers from zero to one, represented by a line segment. Then you remoce the middle third. That leaves two segments, and you remove the middle third of each (...). That leaves four segments, and you remove the middle third of each - and so...

Nononsense, thankyou once again. I have now atleast a surface understanding of the mathematical implications of linearity. It will be up to me to deepen that understanding. Aphex, I do not think I want to enter into a lengthy debate about whether there exists a mathematical explanation of...

I follow you until: "If a = 0 x will tend towards 0: it is the attraction point." Would the result of this not be 0, or a flat line determined by 'b'. I have seen the terms attraction point and bifurcation but do not yet understand. How might these play out given an example? Thankyou, rlb

May I digress, and address your point that it is the politician, or the media that sets the agenda for discourse. I quite disagree. Both the politician and the media are at the mercy of the public - they either "talk" about what the public wants to hear, or they perish. A valid point. What...

Thankyou nononsense. As my studies continue I am sure to have more ideas, but for now I would love to see some of the math. A basic linear function looks like, y = mx + b. What does a non-linear function look like? In Chaos by James Gleick there is a reference to the tendency for...

I can see that I have rebirthed a heated debate. As such I feel I am getting arguments/statements being picked up midstream. Here's what I understand to be "noise," Linear formula 'x' yields results 2.001, 1.989, 2.005, etc. in real world testing. The researcher (or trader) views these...

That this person, or these people - are dangerous. That, in this country certain rights are granted its citizens. That although we create laws to restrict behaviour and limit these rights without wholly removing them - see: gun permits, see: federal communications commission - certain...

don't toy with my emotions... please, I am very fragile

Has anyone attempted to mathematically explain the "noise" surrounding typically linear approaches to trading? I've just begun inquiry into these matters and am thus open to all opinions on this subject.
