Quote from Xspurt:
Saying Time is NOT a variable results in the same breakdown in performance in trading as is seen in any other application where time over distance over space is involved. If such a belief system was applied to modern science we would not have our modern communication system and GPS wouldn't work.
If Time was not a variable, linear price cycles would be reliable. The reason they fail is precisely because time is not linear and it is because the market is not 2 dimensional that Time has to be a variable. Without understanding that reality the market structures appears to Fail To Traverse.
The FTT is the gap in your thinking caused by misunderstanding time proving you're stuck in backward CW thinking in a modern age. Almost all traders think in linear time structures and this causes you to work too hard on structural dynamics when the market has hidden natural structures where understanding the time variable is the key to revealing these structures.
Volume works best in structural settings and your CW approach has over complicated the natural simplicity of market movement and timing. If there is a proper foundation, such a concept can be taught in 3 days in a single 60m session per day. Thereafter it proves itself intraday everyday many times.
I understand where you are coming from - it is the same place we all started from with CW linear thinking. If you studied Hurst you would be better able to understand why distortion occurs in any movement and then you only need to add in the Time variable to see the structure using a slightly more developed method than you now employ.
You've been knocking at this door for years. Isn't it time you developed your thinking a little more and opened it?
Thank you for stating your beliefs.
Time is part of science as you say.
My plea was that time is not part of human psychology, not part of Behavioral Finance.
As you say distortion occurs in any movement you and Hurst view or observe.
I feel that by using a Parametric Measure that has magnitude and direction (a vector) that I have removed time.
I measure only defined events. My set of events elements is complete and exhaustive (56). I have three levels of groupings (10, 11, and 35) which in turn are further sortable. (the 35 forms ten sub groups)
What you call parts of markets are structures.
I feel my defined market system is dynamic and it is exhaustively defined as five concurrent wholly defined streams)
Finally, you perceive I have problems and these have fixed me in a place in the past. It is not my job to point out to you the details of where your yard stick you applied to me has short comings.
Currently, I am trying to find a basis for conveying a few quarters of my trading calls and results to the public. So far I am still asking for advice on how to present a record that could be understood in terms of the CW.
My unsuccessful plea to the OP was to think rationally and deduce a system. I reasoned that I could export to him, a reasoning process. I failed.
I have sat with persons of high intellect in many fields. I could name many individuals that could just spend one session and complete the transfer of the facts that I use. From that point on, they could transform these facts into a complete working facile long term memory that would enable their continuouus real time perception of the market's operating system. "The fully differentiated mind".
I offered the OP all the sheets but one. He had to produce the former sheets to create the last sheet; the interlocking fractals based upon Mandelbrot. He did no work nor did he post his work.
Thus the OP proved he was not one of those people; nor are you as you just proved. It is not important since either way, nothing important would have happened except tranference of a system.
Human nature will not change. Within this master set of characters, there is a distribution that the record shows to be normal. This distribution is capable of differentiating all the types of humans.
At maturity, a person distinguishes himself by his relative characteristics. Decisions along the way determine consequential characterisitcs. They are not erasable.
