Nemer, very interesting stuff. I enjoy thinking about things like this. Yeah I thought it pretty funny and was trying to think of some clever way to say that you were just incorporating jerk into your analysis. But, I left that to your more familiar compadres to actually call you a name if they chose. Opening the door was enough for my part, LOL. I'm going to have to give that some thought, applying "jerk" to horse racing and the markets. It's easy to take the derivative(slope) of a curve at some point. And then plot those slopes as a curve, and then calculate the slopes of that curve...to get the jerk or third derivative, LOL. I laugh because it's easier to see that sort of process in my minds eye. And I can see your notion of motion that way. Sierra charts has an Excel spreadsheet like studies capability just for implementing uncommon formulations. You've started my wheels spinning. If you have any other esoterica you've fiddled with over time would love to hear/ponder it. So far I'm just playing with what is extant. Sorry to hear about losing your friend, a part of life but life is always diminished that way. Hey, I don't think the fourth derivative has ever been named. The rate of change of jerk vs time. I vote we call that one the "Nemer". Regards Walt
