Thanks for the picture, I wonder if I'll be able to make sense of it. For steps, I noticed I can code them as 1's and 0's, then I can teach my machine some pattern recognition, much easier to code than "open higher than previous low", just type in arrays of 1's and 0's and search through the steps for them. I read an article on machine image recognition last year, and have been thinking about how to do it, now in pursuing the study in this thread, have coded it up and can test something with it.
Thank you for posting that! The existence of those contiguous diagonal sections suggests some very interesting possibilities.
Thanks for the example. I did a mockup in Excel, based on EURUSD tick data, steps of 1 pip, 1 = 1 step positive, -1 = 1 step negative, ticks that made 0 steps are excluded. Out of 5200 ticks, 255 actually made steps (shown in attached picture). Row width of 26 was arbitrarily chosen (that number gave me 10 rows to get started with). I'll have to work on this a bit more to figure out what's missing, I don't think mine is right, but no problem, the exercise and the search is how I learn new stuff.
Have you (or anyone else) calc'd a guess to the meander low yet?. Or are you waiting to finish your mail-order PhD?. I guess that you will say that my time calc was wrong by 3 days, to that I reply that the path integral is iterative. Would you like also the Lagrangian and the procedure for its numerical integration?. It'll cost you money that you'll never accumulate in that lousy programming job you got, and that you'll likely lose in the coming recession. Now you can call me a prick. Did you even get short the market or missed the short bus AGAIN?. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frgeo6YZLD8
Hi there. Being relatively new here, are you sure you are in a right thread? There are plenty of "down-to-earth" guys on this forum who would be probably glad to hear your ramblings and your benign use of terms that you heard in your elementary school. What we are trying to do here is to have an intelligent discussion of a topic that interests us philosophically. If you cannot contribute or you have no interest please join some other discussions on this forum and stop polluting this thread with your angry and childish remarks. Cheers, MAESTRO
If I was too harsh then please accept my apologies. It's just too many times I have witnessed remarks here that do not add any value to the topic in focus. I am always opened to other people's opinion if it is related to the subject discussed. All I want is to keep this thread relatively clean. Again, my apologies if I was too impolite.
