    Didn't Mandelbrot suggest "market time" is a third independent function to which fractal geometry can be used to describe otherwise irregular behavior?

  4. You have to have a pretty high win% with these? Cause you get stopped out for the whole whammy like 3 cars but win sometimes on 1 car, sometimes on 2, sometimes on 3.

    Thus, I would imagine that if a volume chart versus price chart is implemented the resulting curve is f(tt), and tt is trading time which is f(Vt) which is a function of volume per unit time. f(tt) would be thus a crude visual of multi-fractals ( price, clock time, and trading time) rolled into one chart?

  6. Hi Sunnyskies,

    I'd like to reply to this, but I'm not really sure what you're stating or asking.

    A study in dependency.

    If a 60 min bar makes a HH or LL the next bar(s) are more likely to move in that direction.

    That is when not range bound.

    It is easy to see when the price is rangebound at least retrospectively.

    It helps to have a system or rules to determine within your own plan when to consider price bound or not and when a reversal occurs.

  8. ok. if you trade 3 contracts. when your stoploss hits - you get hit on all 3. but if you scale out on wins then you might get 1 small win on 1 contract and the other 2 will come back to break even. u know what i mean? so you need a high win %.
