Hi mbusch;

Interesting topic you bring up regarding fractals. While Im not a math whiz, I think of the markets as a fuzzy-fractal. Fuzzy being the qualitative or otherwise inexact aspects of human behavior, fractal being the preciseness and regularity of which the fuzziness occurs, at the same time adding temporary but mostly non-reusable quantifiable data to that fuzziness.

I too would like to hear from apex, especially regarding the reference or comparison of the fractal nature to a casino.

Indeed, it was Apex's use of the word "casino" in the same sentence with "fractal" that caused me to believe he was implying something more than just self-similarity on differing timeframes.

this is a great entry on a day like this....

if not stopped out hold this baby to the close.

This is probably one of my fav trades so I went pretty big on it today.... cashing some out now though and leaving the rest to run.

I know many of you are not particularly interested in fibs and pivots, but I study them and I have a focus, a cluster of resistance levels in the 1541.00-1544.50 area and usually, the first move into an area so congested is rejection. and at the least prices consolidate sideways for a while. (sometimes profit-taking, but today is very strong in my measures)

There's just too many things wrong with this post for me to answer. :eek:

Did that count as a rejection? May we continue to the upside now, please?

EDIT: Thank you very much.

Thanks.
