Are Markets truly Fractual?

  1. Another thing I don't agree with.

    Look at a 5 minute SPX chart and a Daily SPX chart. Obviously one is closer to the News so anticipating and reacting faster, closer to Noise, definitely different skills in interpretation needed.

    Stock charts and Stock Index charts need different interpretations too.

    I suspect this whole factual thing got traction too long ago and needs to be revised today.

    Fractal. Like … resolution invariant properties.
    There might be common properties but also peculiar ones.

    I wouldn’t say all timeframe trade the same.
    Because different strategies, traders.

    Similar to space is time.
    Not all assets trade the same.

  5. You need to learn to lose control and be patient, calm as a wise trader, market observer.

    So many people are determined to know exactly the future, to be a Nostradamus. To place those roulette table bets.

    The market is part fart, part science dancing intertwining with one another in a symbiotic relationship in that timeframe on that chart

    There's a huge difference between hunting in a zoo sanctuary Versus the wild

  6. No

    "Across asset classes, we find that markets are in a trending regime on time scales that range from a few hours to a few years, while they are in a reversion regime on shorter and longer time scales."

    It’s said the 1 month lookback is also prone to mean reversion.
