<OT--market behaviour> One trading system that is emotionally detached from the market whimsy is called AIM(Automatic Investment Management) system. The description can be found at exchange2000.com This is not for daytraders. Another article of interest is the February 99 issue of Scientific American magazine, a summary of which is shown below. <<A Multifractal Walk down Wall Street Benoit B. Mandelbrot When will the Dow top 10,000? When will it crash? This famous mathematician argues that the complex geometric patterns that describe the shapes of coastlines, ferns and galaxies might model the capriciousness of financial markets better than conventional portfolio theory can. >> A better model of the market behavior can be constructed using fractal than that of normal distribution as used in modern portfolio theory. From the market whimsy article<<that market price fluctuations look very much like "the scaling laws characterising physical systems in which large numbers of units interact".>> Does not look like fractal.
