Intuition Amplifiers 2

In a bizarre dry dream last night I was magically transported to the planet of Bitchslappia, where everybody behaves in real life like earthlings do on ET. I walked into an insane asylum mysteriously named Noscut, where I met a kindly old inmate with bad eyes, buck teeth, grey beard, and a pony tail, incongruously dressed in a tux, and sporting earth 60's plastic coke bottle aviators. He said to me:
"Take your Tri-State Estimator, slap a first-order infinite impulse response filter on the bitch, tune it to an alpha of about 0.0005, and stoplight it. And don't say I never gave you nothing."

Thank you for sharing. Does it essentially determine a slope of some sort of interpolator then classifies it into the "n" different states and then colors them into a set of corresponding colors? After that the sequence of colors gives you the insight of possible upcoming move?
Also, does this interpolator use volume, size etc. or is it just based on price alone?
Cheers,
MAESTRO
Maestro,
Speaking of colors, would you agree with the thesis that using "emotionally neutral" colors in software is probably better solution for traders, than coloring things with colors, known to provoke certain emotions?
"Color neutrality" would focus a trader more on intellectual side of the process, which helps to act more effectively, without being influenced by emotions.
And generally, what is a weight of emotional vs. intellectual factors in the intuitive decision-making?

In some of the population, neurotransmitter activity is more intense than in the rest of the population. This means that the messages that are transmitted across the synapse are faster and there is more volume. Let me explain. For a person to be able to think, a process of neural conduction must occur. Our central nervous system, which includes the brain, operates by sending electrical messages through a nerve fiber to the appropriate part of the body to carry out an action or a thought. These electrical messages travel down a nerve fiber until they reach a place where one nerve fiber ends and another nerve fiber begins. There is a space between the ending of one nerve fiber and the beginning of another nerve fiber. This space is called a synapse. For the message to jump across this space and continue to travel down the nerve fiber, there must be a conductive material present to allow for this transfer. The conductive materials are called neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitter fills the synapse and the message is able to continue onto its destination. Neurotransmitters actually control the message "traffic." They either allow or do not allow message traffic. Neurotransmitters control the volume and intensity of the message flow. Some of the neurotransmitters are (((((norepinephrine, seratonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine))))). Without these substances, thought and action would not be possible. The presence or the absence; the overabundance or the insufficient quantity of these substances affect thought and action. ... maestro have you figured out how to increase these chemicals in the brain without drugs?
I am stuck on Planet Bitchslappia with no ride home, so I can but quote the first paragraph of your opening post:
"In his 1956 ground-breaking book âAn Introduction to Cyberneticsâ William Ross Ashby has presented to us the law of Requisite Variety. What this law simply states is that for any system to be stable the number of distinct states (variety) that its control mechanism is capable of producing must be greater or equal to the total number of states (variety) of the system itself. In other words, if a system operates in the environment that causes it to assume certain number of states the systemâs control mechanism must be âsmart enoughâ to recognize all of those states and react accordingly. If the system operates in the rapidly changing, complex environment the control mechanism must also have an ability to quickly increase its variety (i.e. to learn) in order to maintain the systemâs stability."
I got all excited and thought you were about to remind an old dog what he had long forgotten about Cybernutticks and market states. Alas.
I made a wild-assed guess here that you haven't a clue what market states are.
And I showed you. Turned out to be a good exercise for me, because when I tried this state representation years ago it didn't wurk sew gud. I think Jack can displain it to you in ten thousand words or less.
It is such a loaded question. It is a subject of the whole host of books and discussions that are generally known as the symbolism of colors. I have spent some time researching the subject; however, because colors associated with feelings very differently in different people the research in this area is highly subjective. For my own development I always used only two pallets of colors: Red and Blue with the brightness or intensity of the color representing the rate of change of whatever I am trying to represent. It seemed to produce good results.
I think I understand a bit of what you are saying. So, you have your own taxonomy of the market states that you interpret as a state diagram where state transitions happen under some "if-then" conditions? Would you mind to shed some light then on the list of states first and then may be on some fragments of your taxonomy?
P.S. And yes, you are right; I have no idea of what you call market states. I have never had a problem to admit my ignorance.
Understood, thanks. Asked, because Denise Shull mentioned improvement of profitability among traders who ceased red from their charts, because red is usually associated with something stressful and dangerous (likely on a natural level for all humans due to the color of blood) and may influence decisions to be more impulsive.
