    Why is this in trading section? You trying to minimize your losses by square rooting the PnL????

    Some young guys will die early due to combat, traumatic tragic accidents, or whatever.

    And for the rest, we live till old age.
    As we get older, our organs will degrade.
    Our brains/minds will also degrade.

    So don't laugh at old folks.
    Because you will be dying soon too.

    What goes around, comes around.
    Beware of Karma.

    Using Pythagorean Theorem to identify cycles from market
    data/price action and form a conclusion on possible direction.

    Trying to do better than 200 ticks per trade.

    Yet you don't know how the root symbol looks like? Still shocked how someone with that lack of knowledge would ever get involved with trades and investments. Don't those gambling losses hurt over time?

    Yes but the Pythagorean theorem is anchored on the assumption that it's a hypotenuse in that the two sides have to form a right angle between them. The waves of any trendlines hardly ever form a right angle, hardly any peaks or troughs so I am not sure how well the Pythagorean theorem would be able to effectively predict the length of any cycle.

    You are close. There's a TRIANGLE in every significant price
    move between major Highs and Lows. Simply take a look
    at the M & W patterns for reference.

    Hint: A chart records price and time in 2D
    Question: Does price, or any form of energy move only in 2D?

    Are you considering the left axis of time and price as forming a right angle? But the price axis is infinite. Or are you going to restrict it to a maximum number? Then what there is a breakout?

    I'm considering price and time as one unit within a multi-dimensional perspective.
    Waves are not linear, but are bodies in motion, as are all forms of energy.
    Since all orbits move in an elliptical motion, once price and time is formulated
    into one measure, that measure can be used to pinpoint the ever-moving pattern (reflection of price) for possible direction.

    All human emotions/behavior is energy, and we know energy can be measured.

    Authors I've studied and still studying who can
    definitely explain better than I can..
