The phenomenon in which one regular cycle locks into another is called entrainment, or mode locking. Entrainment explains why stock market components are like flocking birds and herd behaviour of land animals The 3Ms were wondering why miracles exist and then they realised, miracles were more frequent than random. It was like life on earth. […]
Orpheus Performance Cycles were a part of the Body of Knowledge and is displayed along with the other great cycle work.
Jazz & trading Christmas is about making wishes. However, some wishes are not reasonable. For example, wishing for a universal database is wishful thinking, as such a database would need a lot of server space. I am not speaking of a smart stock market database but a database for every organic data from the stock markets […]
Before he died, physicist and Nobel laureate Werner Heisenberg had two questions for God. These were “Why relativity? Why turbulence?”. Heisenberg also felt that God knew the answer just for the first question. Turbulence was beyond God. It’s strange the conviction Heisenberg had regarding turbulence also known as fluctuation, noise, divergence, extremity, fat tail, chaos, black swan, etc. Mathematics […]
Is the Mayan end of the world deadline, a good time to buy? Even if I was not born on December 21, I would still be celebrating the end of the world. We have reached such scientific maturity that we do understand that Mayans were wrong about “this”. Or, we chose to play the probability […]

She made me think, how there was a thin line when it came to defining what we wish and what we assign a certainty, too; an intuition.

Pring is the second generation of technicians along with John Murphy and Robert Prechter. Pring’s generation followed the generation of J Welles Wilder, Joseph E Granville and Ralph N Elliott. An evening prior to the meeting, I told Martin […]
Even after a thousand or more years of trade, Indian garam masala remains exotic and out of reach for parts of Central and Eastern Europe. What comes from India still has its allure and aroma and it becomes more valuable if it’s hand delivered. Hence, I had an additional bag full of chai and garam […]
Life or stock picking is similar, both need decision making. Decision making is connected with psychology, skill, research method, etc. I should give it to the technicians, or to the brilliant John Murphy, who taught me about the linkage of decision making with weight of evidence. What is evidence? The decision making process involves study […]
Behavioural error called ‘representativeness’ suggests that humans can be easily anchored. These anchors are psychological biases, which are more inaccurate than accurate. If you buy a used car based on just the odometer reading and the model year, you are anchored (biased not objective). Stock markets are no different and market players work on similar anchors. Now […]
