The existence of what I believe Mr. Hanover referred to -- news etc. -- and the chart's patterns are both constants, the former specifics and the latter generalizations, of human behavior. Human behavior is the "unknowns". "a deviation of unknowns ...

Dude, read it again: I said, "a deviation of unknowns from randomness". I make it a given such things are unknowns. Of course, I could instead include news, only I, as stated, choose not to. No disrespect intended. Again: The chart patterns ...

Extracted Thread (per thread starter's request)

To me, this is obvious: You assume a deviation of unknowns from randomness naturally creates repeatable patterns. Those patterns, mathematically defined and interrelated, formulate the chart. I've spent a long time trying to get only enough ...

Alright! Extended the ls2-lp3 idea to include a slanted line that picks up on trend centerlines. (ls2 is a short hz line whose length is squared), lp3 (one-cycle skewed lines), and now 'slanted' (slanted line with multi-cycle reads THRU THEIR MIDDLE ...

"expand" -- a notion similar to fill, condense, etc. logr is just one of infinite types, a convenience. The drop was so well-formed and aligned with the shortly later top, before price dropped away from it while establishing a 90d angle -- a simple ...

Are you a consistently profitable trader?

demo — "Market memory" and "market turning points" sound right. However, thinking s/r is right is WAY off. A key ingredient to any chart is the trend angle. Sure, price action can focus on a price, since price is the dependent variable and ...
