Yes, I am familiar with some of that from years back when you posted. Extraordinarily well done graphical representations of otherwise difficult to comprehend patterns. As to discussing market states, no, that is pretty much too difficult to represent, there being 243 primary ones, and perhaps three orders of magnitude more depending on time frame and volatoilety. The task of properly filtering them, grouping them, and thresholding them would take more years than I have left. The three state representation is bad enough. So I thank you for jogging my old memory. Sorry I couldn't get past your first post.
Thank you for your contributions! I sincerely welcome all points of view and truly hope that all the participants would enjoy the discussion. Please come back at any time and I will be glad to hear any of your thoughts on the subject. I will also post some of my market states using, what I think, similar to the approach you have suggested techniques and see whether we can have people to participate in that discussion as well. Cheers, MAESTRO
What is the definition of "intuition"? Reading over the first page, I've seen 'subliminal decision making', 'hidden abilities of the brain', some other things about pattern recognition. Sorry if it was presented before, but do you have a more precise definition, and how would one recognize 'intuition' or an 'intuition thought' when it comes to him? How does 'intuition' differ from other thoughts? This is my rough working definition: 'intuition' is a thought emerging into consciousness that comes from higher parts of the brain processing information. This differs from the lower parts of the brain (closer to emotion), and memories (one-time events, not the result of processing). Distinguishing between the sources is very difficult. I realized I may be projecting my own definition.
âIntuition is our capacity for direct knowledge, for immediate insight without observation or reason. "Intuitive thinking is perception-like, rapid, effortless realization" Daniel Kahneman.
'without observation' -- this would imply there was no input into the brain (eg, previous observations of relationships, smells that would suggest the presence of something, changes in temperature) for the intuition. I think this becomes unscientific, because if there is no input, how can there be an output of intuition -- unless you are suggesting the intuition, direct knowledge comes from nowhere, nothing, or some type of 'source'? It's like, an effect without a preceding cause.
I understand now. "Observation" does not mean that there is no input. "Observation" means the use of our consciousness and logic in order to "comprehend" the reality. Observation occurs when we become aware of our perceptions. Conscious awareness is the result of our observations. Intuition, on another hand, is the result of our sub-conscious processes. That was the intent in the statement. I hope it clarifies it a bit more.
