Quote from hypostomus:
The market is musically Pythagorean. It has range, crescendos, diminuendoes, trills, rhythm, metre, pace. When you look carefully, you even see scales. That is the market's secret. But it falls on deaf ears. Now it is time for Jack to post.
I like your conceptual visualization. I never previously looked at the market as a complex inter-relation of collective haggling that could be expressed and perceived as vibrations of sound, rhythms, percussion, tempo and orchestrated structure. But it works since the market's whims & moody nature often behave like human emotion as the human emotion and expectations transition to and fro between the limits of euphony and cacophony (A^2 + B^2). What changes the ratios are expressions of temper, fear, greed, anxiety, opportunity and so on. The Bears take on the role of the dissonant minor keys with sharps and flats ( the black keys on the piano) while the Bulls take on the role of major keys and percussion. But yes, there are definite point-counter-point patterns, as well as various solos, ensembles, full up harmonies, free form jazz, shrill runs, dirges, discordant dissonance, lullabies, bold fanfares, childish tempers, playful teasing, and every conceivable human emotion all integrated into one continuous expression of "being".
I have previously visualized the market dynamic more as a sea of motion with winds and currents of change. As long as one did not care where they were going it was always possible to be extracting energy and having fun.
Clearly, the existence of the box "C" (e.g. C^2) implied by Pythagorean's theorem means that somone is always making money and we should all be dancing on both of the principal Cartesian axis to profit in both directions.
Any way, it all implies that a
Pythagorean tuning strategy could be used to resonate with the market for solo fun and profit. But my personal concern here is that such an individual extraction would in the long run be taken by the conductor as a discordant freestyle blasphemy; since the market's Pythagorean nature implies a circle of periodicity related to its radius r. That means all we ever really do is borrow and contribute to the whole. If my suspicions are correct that means no one can have their pi (ð) and eat it too; unless perhaps they eat and run and never come back for another piece.
