Sir, I sincerely hope you will keep with the thread - even if at this point, what I have put out appears to you more like babble, than something worth a good (or even exceptional) trader's time. It is not as simple as to just lay out a "formula" or list to do (and not to do) items and describe such a listing as a "system" as may be common. This is something more profound and far more complex than to handle in that way. It is a way to see and trade the market differently and I admit I am not a professional "trainer" and maybe I have not the skills to communicate as one. I also am not selling anything, I am just motivated to share. The intention is to share with those traders like me, who have traded the tenebrific methods of "technicals" and "fundamentals" mindlessly for so long, without sustainable gain. That is, to show that in fact, there is a third and far more profitable (and accurate) way to read and trade the markets. Professor Benoit Mandelbrot who discovered fractal geometry is quoted as saying, “Fractal geometry is not just a chapter of mathematics, but one that helps Everyman to see the same world differently.” Mandelbrot was NOT a trader and could not understand why anyone would actually trade the markets if they actually knew what they were getting into "mathematically." What he probably did not understand (because he was not a trader) is that traders who do get to understand what the market is "mathematically" would learn to use that understanding to control the risk Mandelbrot was so alarmed by (and thereby fulfil their objectives far more efficiently profits wise), since traders by inclination, are people who will take the risk regardless to make the market. I pray you would at least be patient with us and soon you might begin to see the sense in it all. Cheers (-_-)
PS: Mathematics, broadly, will describe various aspects of the market according to different formalisms. What I mean by understanding the market "mathematically" is understanding the market by Mandelbrot's mathematics. As esoteric as that mathematics is, the average trader (non mathematician) is exceptionally lucky in that Mandelbrot's mathematics is in fact intuitive because it is visual and speaks to exactly what we deal with as traders everyday. So in the end it is about understanding something you already know in a formalized sense which allows you to visualize (see) the market differently. You do not have to be a mathematician to know the maths, but you need to be a trader intent on beating the market consistently.
