One thing people found odd about my thesis of the market is that as one professor put it “people are missing”. I said no that in fact there is a sympathetic theory in economics – the so called Market Clearing Theory. He said but needs to be tweaked economists as usual have brought in all sorts of twists and turns (you know the too many brilliant minds syndrome that economics has), and I said yes, but just take the simplest case and the people are there in complete fit. He said fine. So my point is people are not missing just blended in tight. In "fundamental" and "technical" analysis people are everywhere and the reason for everything and hence the noise, but the math takes them as the single input that they are (but still consistent with the actual behaviour of people as a group).

PS: Those trading Gold can see that the Shape changing reads market conditions at the exact time of change? Trade The Shape always and you are fine. It is a wickedly calculated curve. It is the most valuable indication of price behaviour so trading by its Commands (changes up and down in context), is the best way as I do not see how you can lose that way. By this I mean follow by the changes in the Shape first then other things make sense e.g. KSO makes more sense and quicker when you are looking at and thinking in terms of the Shape.
