D is the diagonal distance to X2,Y2. To determine the coordinates of X2,Y2 you'd have to construct a right triangle (D would be the hypotenuse), use the Pythagoean theorem to solve for the side and add that value to X1,Y1 The real question is, should you go long or short D?
I assumed that the OP wanted to move x2 and y2 around the circle and always be able to calulate x3 and y3 in reference to a given point x1, y1. My bad. I was oriented to periodic functions and how such can be related to price movement as judged from one particular point (say the beginning of a trend or a crossover of one line with another as in the two line problem which is common to many theories of indicators or one indicator and price. Using polarzed graphics is a good tool Any of these considerations are considered a drag and drop coding activity as anyone familiar with coding for market ATS's knows.
The person who contributed this is not too swift. He did not understand that x2 and y2 had a bearing on making money. He sounds as dumb as trader666 but not quite.
For the humor of it lets pose a problem related to the markets and their periodicity. This would involve the nonstationarity of the markets. We call that x1y1 since that is the use of x1y1 ordinarily. x3 y3 is a forward looking coordinate of a "container". To most people this is gibberish. So be it, who cares about them. To some people, they recognize it is a point of optimum profit for doing crossover trading of big money pools. Lets look at the periodicity of the instrument that is being traded with a neutral bias. This is the track of x2, y2. Does the instrument perform under EMH? Hell no. Is a continuing marginal analysis required to optimize cross over trading of all the instruments in an outstanding high performance Universe? Absolutely. This is the classic two line problem that has been approached by brain power since before the DOW theory even hit the street. By scribing the path of x3, y3 in advance of the Present, when price actually hits this path, it may be considered a turning point primarily based on periodicity. Does any one here think Trader666 even has a damp wet spot somewhere regarding any of this? Trader666 is a dry well if there ever was one. ET is not exactly a wellspring of talent or ideas. Obviously, a person has to put the variables in any problem solution. If some baby turkey leaves them out, then he needs more scratch before we chop his head off. Is everyone a dumb fuck around here?
Busted yet again, Jack. You FAILED to provide the obvious solution to a simple grade school geometry problem so now you try to obfuscate it with pseudo-intellectual drivel and profanity. How pathetic.

Yes! ha ha ha ha That is HILARIOUS! (Actually, I have no idea what you're trying to say with your turkey metaphor.)
