Quote from slacker:
Thank you Jack...
What does 'stay on the same fractal' mean?
Also, another fractal question, "Does a fractal always begin with an outside bar and increase in volume?"
Can a fractal begin on low volume and an inside bar?
Thanks again
I use fractal in the Mandelbrot sense.
Therefore, the beginning point for fractals is market variable granularity. All primary variables have granularity.
The knowledge tree grows from this point or principle.
From the fastest market construct for profit taking to the slowest, there are about seven distinct separate interlocking fractals.
Interlocking can only come from a trend concept. The trend concept is deduced and Covell got it all wrong. So did those he interviewed.
I pause to make this clear. Money can be made in either of two market directions. Just as with granularity, the intellect must use the razor.
Trends do complete or they have premature failures. The effect is the same but the cause is different. Lets call them End Effects. There are 35 of these.
Traders and investors chose "where" they are gong to trade. This is a choice of fractal. Optimally, they can "always know that they know". Such a person has a fully differentiated mind.
Through reason and intellect it is possible to conclude that a system includes all fractals and, at the same time, not all fractal are required to "take the full offer of the market".
Taking the full offer is a matter of degree for the fully differentiated mind. Money has a given absolute utility. But A person does not chose to live perfectly effective nor perfectly efficient.
This is the difference between theory and the pragmatic. The EMH died and pragmatism exceeded and superceded it.
People who grasp all of these alternatives can be as they wish to be.
Now, you have the scope and bounds of the answers which I provide to questions.
staying on the same fractal means using the system theory to just examine steadily (monitor) and then analyze from one full set of system rules. Only one fractal is required. Trends have elements and the element follow only one Order Of Events (loops are included as a consequence of a complete full rule set.
therefore, it is deducable that only 35 End Effects are possible.
All new trends begin always with respect to a prior end effect.
The remaining answers are no, no, yes, no and use OR circuits to gain any anjunctive question answers. (no and yes)
In system trading with fully developed systems, five OOE's are at play. I have described the elements in trends by number and name. I have broken the 35 End Effects down on two levels so far.
"The Pattern shows a baseline fundamental trend. The three moves are visible and observable. The Pattern expresses a market cycle and as such provides the KEY to End Effects.
Cycles are scored in three variables and have 8 parts (2 raised to the cubed power). I proved = was trivial recently. Only gerunds go into the algorithm I created from Dodd/Granville.
The inventors of the tooling for trading are: Keynes (algorithms), carnap (logic), Boole (Algebra), and mandelbrot (fractals).
Once I appeared at a place that was the usual in the FI. Three floors at CBOT. I learned in a short while that "you can't fight citiy hall". Who cares.
I can't register my intellectual property because I cannot get through the regulatory process. The AIR's keep getting longer and are now circular.
Unbelievably my tradeing shows up at the SEC as "insider trading". My lawyers will not allow me to review their erroneous software.
An End Effect is what begins a new trend in one subset of End Effects. All other subsets begin on bar n+1 of the trading fractal. The assigned element of the OOE's is peak 1 called P1.
One of the entwined OOE's of any system is the "test procedure".
A test procedure has three parts that follow an OOE.
1. Test for a repeated element,
2. if required, complete a reverse chron test,
3. if required , go to the NEXT element.
My post is a personal test for the trader or potential trader reading it.
A. the reader is incapable of starting to build any differentiation in his mind (See marketsurfer, Denise Shull, Flavia somebody) or
B. The reader puts my post into short term memory. He awakens and looks at a trading fractal and see things. He goes to sleep, he awakens and remembers some facts I posted. or,
C. the reader finds he has recall from my prior posts. he goes to B. or
D. the reader turns to a 3 ring binder and does he drill he has been doing most recently.
E. the reader awkens the next morning and writes on the steno pad next to his bed, the questions that have arisen since his mind had put together (snaptically and with new grown neurons) in his sleep questions whose answers are needed to "fill in" weak spots in his current mental spectrum of differentiation.
