    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    Of course it is! The only question is which philosophical beliefs have broader horizons. Classical physics and relativity theory are also philosophical positions, however, certain things do not fit into classical mechanics anymore. here is the question. determinism assumes the ability to...

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    Well, you have answered your own question better than I could. :) The only thing that I'd like to add is the main reason for us to have difficulties in accepting the randomness at large is very similar to the difficulties we experienced accepting the relativity theory. In our practical world...

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    Would you mind expanding on this concept of "deterministic chaos"? I would like to understand the major differences between a well defined chaos theory and this (I have to admit) new to me concept of "deterministic chaos". I might have missed something, but, as usual, I am willing to learn...

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    Certainly, this is an understandable logic. It is very similar to Einstein's conclusions as well. However, please consider the fact that you are looking at things "post-factum", on the hindsight, if you will. The price move after a fund sold or bought substantial number of shares is a...

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    Thank you for bringing this up. An excellent question! I would like to illustrate a very similar phenomenon using elementary physics. Let us assume that we are measuring the gas pressure in an enclosed container. There should be no doubt that the behavior of individual molecules of gas is...

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    I would like respectfully disagree. If you say that the market is a "chaotic system" doesn't that imply an element of randomness? If not, let's then discuss the definitions first. We might be talking about the same things using different words. It is worth the effort to clear the definitions...

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    That is a exactly the point! Thank you so much for phrasing it so clearly! Yes, I believe that randomness is (like gravity) a fundamental property of our world that breaks all the attempts of causality. This property manifests it self in both micro and macro worlds through different related...

    Dear all, once again, could we please stick to discussing the topic of this thread which is RANDOMNESS at large. I promise we would all gain if we try to stay focused.

    Trend Following-Trend Commandments

    . You asked for my name, I gave it to you. I asked you a direct question in return and you did not answer. It says it all. To me this thread is over. You are on my ignore list and I no longer want to communicate with a person who's comprehension level is still at the grade 3 level. Lack of...

    Trend Following-Trend Commandments

    Well, may be I need to simplify the question. If you flipped a coin 10 times and all ten times it landed on "heads" does it mean that you are in a "head" trend? It cannot be simpler than that. So, what is your answer, "YES" or "NO"?. We will go from there.

    Yes, he was an incredibly brilliant master of popularization! He could present the most complex theories with such simple models that a child could understand them. My favorite prof. Dr. Ioffe (who knew Dr. Feynman) once told me: "If you, young man, cannot explain your findings to your 3 year...

    Trend Following-Trend Commandments

    So, Mr. Covel, are you currently calling to all of your friends and asking them to help you to define a trend? I have never thought that the author of the "Trend Commandements" would have no clue of what the Trend is! Helarious! :D May I suggest Wikipedia or Google? it might help.

    That is what I thought! I am also finishing my book that I too will offer for free to whoever is interested. All of us, including my partners, are sponsors of many education institutions and we believe in propagation of knowledge, not in making a quick buck for the expense of poor naive souls.

    I did not know that either :confused: Interesting. I would like to read more.

    Trend Following-Trend Commandments

    That has just proven again the sheer lack of your manners, absence of any tact and your abnormal arrogance so explicitly shown in all of your books. My name is Dr. Alex Bogdan and with that I demand that in your next post you explicitly state your definition of a trend since the whole...

    Trend Following-Trend Commandments

    You should be aware (hence you being a sponsor here) that it is not in a spirit of this forum to use or demand real names of it's members. I have no problem stating my name, however, it would set a bad example and go against ET traditions that you, obviously, are not aware of. Having said that...

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    Yes, I agree, of course, however, offering the podium to all might serve the purpose of exposing the few, don't you think? :cool: :D

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    I would still recommend to read Ashby first. It's not a hard reading, however, it sets the philosophical point of view that I share. I still cannot believe that such a remarkable American Philosopher could be so obscure and unknown here. When you read it please do not take it too literally. It...

    I am glad to see that this thread has been cleaned up and there is an attempt to continue this very fruitful discussion. I would like to ask all of the participants to be tolerant to each other. After all, any discussion needs variety of view points to become meaningful. My favorite thinker -...
