Trading ....Time.

[Iris]

In all Global Capital Markets Traders strive for the quantifying of Time to acheive their objective of a Buy/Sell Signal/Exit.

Yearly/Monthly/Weekly/Daily/Hourly/Minute Time components are increments of Value. Isolating these Future Price Values........ Time Periods......is dependant on a Position/Short//Swing or Day Trade.......for capturing an increment of Value based on the quantifying of Time.

Buy/Sell pressure is the natural Ebb and Flow of the Market.....and the overbalancing of Supply/Demand determines Value/Price through the framework of Time.

Markets Accumulate Positions...Buy....and Distribute Positions....
Sell....these Accumulation/Distribution phases are the lifeforce
for Quantifying an increment of Value based on Time.

Empirical Mathmatical Models are the pressure gauges....
Technical/Fundemental Indicators.... with their Universe of variables for the ....... Quantifying of Time to generate a Buy/Sell
Signal/Exit.

The Global Capital Markets are an everchanging Forum of Expectations... with Time being the Constant for capturing the Variable of Value.

Expectations = Value = Time.

The search for the condensing of the Buy/Sell Signal/Exit will evolve through Empirical Models that capture Accumualtion/Distribution Value in the context of Time.

Expectations form Valuations in Price.
Quantifying of Time through Accumulation/Distribution
Generates the Buy/Sell Signal/Exit.
The Holy Grail of Trading is ..........Time.

Huh?

Hi Truville, IMHO, the good news is that you find the previous post incomprehensible, as do I. Only after much brain-twisting was I able to understand the definition of time given by a philosophy professor in my undergraduate years("Time is the number of motion in relation to before and after."). I realized I didn't have to understand the abstract explanation, to be able to tell time or manage it wisely. And, although there may some really profound concepts about the relationship between trading and time, in Iris' post, thank goodness most traders can still be profitable even if they can't wrap their brains around it. Iris may well be the exception, but I've not met anyone, who thinks this abstractly, and can trade profitably. "Paralysis by analysis" is a very deep pit, and a definite danger for those who regularly engage in this kind of analytical thinking. Rather, it has been my experience that the skill to trade profitably involves a quiet, focussed mind and the patience to wait until the market signals it's ready to move. Happy trading, Suzanne

Iris:

Now I know what a quatrain is! thank you.

Currencia & Iris,

A quatrain it may be - well put. However Iris maybe addressing an earlier idea Currencia put most aptly that Time is more important than price. If so, yes Iris has composed a poem about time and price.
