yes, we are still waiting for ANY non anecdotal claim type evidence of the objective nature of this system---- in addition, that exchange refered to the perfect track record, which, for those you don't know, you don't know---im not getting into it....
wow another blast from the past, all killer and no filler.... thanks, tums! thunderdog offers: <b>----I am not familiar with chaos theory, therefore, I cannot comment one way or the other about it. I am out of my depth on the subject. (Are you listening, marketsurfer?) However, I think that describing the markets as a physical entity in the context of trading them using principles of physical science may be a bit misguided. Market prices, which in the final analysis is what we are all concerned about, are just manifestations of collective human behavior. Human behavior is not readily explained by the physical sciences as I vaguely understand them. As I noted, I am not familiar at all with chaos theory. However, as I understand it, the "if-then" relationships in the markets are a lot more tenuous than the "if-then" relationships in, say, physics. Beyond that confined observation, I do not consider myself qualified to comment. </b> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- marketsurfer counters leaving no survivors: collective human behavior --very old school and indicative of your world view. yes, back in the day, prior to the huge pools, sometimes called hedge funds, driven by quant program trading, and often just the whim of the manager. it's "collective money behavior" not collective human behavior--as one human now can have the market moving power of 1000's of others. your analysis is quite old fashion. surf surf
Got your PM and I will list the charts from Friday tomorrow and answer your PM too. Sorry for the delay but spent the weekend in the hospital with Mom.
You might make some people believe you knew that but none in this thread. CVB charts are as reliant on fractal geometry as ice cream relies on a bowl. Give it a rest and go play with the socialites.
lol : ) Errr... you're saying that fractal geometry and chaos theory haven't yielded 'positive results'? Wow, you must be keeping up with a different body of scientific inquiry than I am. btw, in answer to your question above, the reason we might look at 343 transaction volume bars vs. 2401 transaction volume bars or any other other increment is the same reason that one person might look at 7 minute OHLC bars vs. 31 minute OHLC bars. I thought that was a bit of a weird question on your part, but maybe you just didn't understand what was meant by volume bars??
perhaps a primer on the socratic method is in order then: http://www.garlikov.com/Soc_Meth.html still waiting to find out what fractals and prime numbers have to do with tic count bars.....and why any one count is superior to any other count regardless of the "time" factor of trade. this may assist you and others on what is actually going on here: http://www.cass.city.ac.uk/media/stories/resources/Magic_Numbers_in_the_Dow.pdf surf
this nonsense is starting to remind me of the line in the movie "Good Will Hunting"....."you like apples?"....lol
