Psychology to me is nothing more than the increase or decrease of topological holes - moving from spheres with no holes, to n-tori, and back to spheres. When we move to greed, there are probably very few holes in the topological surface that describes the market, described by a sphere. Moves are smooth and equations are linear. When the number of holes expand the the VIX gets "hot", equations become highly non-linear and their solutions now live on n-tori, and fear ensues because there are many equilibria.Quote from dax3k:
I've always admired the art of combining mathematics to the psychology of the markets. Afterall, history does repeat itself and if one could mathematcically model human psychology at two very significant emotional states .. fear & greed .. then one can develop an edge to trade these markets.
Keep up the good work nitro, I believe you're on the right path.
big jump, ballistic, explosive rise, colossal move, oh wait, you used colossal move on Monday and then again today, how repetitive.Quote from nitro:
Note it is Calibrated FV to make a colossal move higher. FV also made a very strong move higher.
No, my expletives are also quantized. They are taken from the different ways a volcano can erupt and the energy level released:Quote from GTS:

If you need help with fresh adjectives to describe your model's moves I can recommend this reference: http://thesaurus.com/
"enormous, gargantuan, giant, gigantic, huge, humongous, immense, jumbo, mammoth, mondo, monstrous, mountainous, super, titanic, vast"
