e=mc2


Scientists prove E=MC^2 on the sub atomic level with quarks and gluons. They found 5% of the mass was matter which means 95% was space or energy. What does that have to do with trading? I don't know. But there was a statement at the bottom of the article that has everything to do with trading.

"For those keen to know more: the computations involve 'envisioning space and time as part of a four-dimensional crystal lattice, with discrete points spaced along columns and rows.' "

So energy and mass form a lattice structure in 4 dimensions... just like I've been trying to show that price and time do. 3 spacial plus one for motion. Again, I'll refer to Brad Cowan when it comes to the 4D structures of markets.

The crystal lattice is a good study for price-time trading. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_lattice

Just a sneak peak of a series of posts coming soon....

Some chart art.


Update on Euro shorts

Wed's CPI or PPI or whatever news release shot upward taking out stops. I'm pretty sure a lot of people playing the triangle pattern got taken out. The spike up peaked on a timeline of one chart and bottomed on a timeline of another. On the 4H, price squared up right at 90 deg. price and time and my cycle line before continuing south to the bottom of the larger triangle trendline. 2 winners, 1 smaller loser, 1 b/e on the whole position. In hindsight, I should have closed some if not all of the position when price got in a small triangle. I knew something was up and was thinking a Ross hook might catch me on the chin which it sure did. Either way, the cycles proved to be accurate even though my execution in the end was not.
