🧵 | It’s interesting, the relationship that Standard Deviations share with Chaos Theory & Nonlinear Dynamics.

ICT Standard Deviations:
2.5x & 4x

Feigenbaum Constants:
Alpha = -2.5029…
Delta = 4.669…

Malthusian Parameter:
R = 3.5699

You’ll love this.
Consider the following: ImageImage
This thread was made for those with little Mathematical background. It’s designed to be easy to digest.

Please read through all, and do not forget the video towards the end!

It’s important to understand why something works, not just how it works or what makes something work.
Delta (δ): 4.669…

Imagine a ball rolling down a bumpy hill. Each time it hits a bump, it could bounce left or right.

As the ball continues, the number of potential paths it could take doubles with each bump.

‘Delta’ tells us how fast these potential paths are diverging from… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Alpha (α): -2.5029…

Now, imagine you’re zooming in on the path the ball took.

You might notice that the pattern of bounces start to look similar at different levels of zoom, like a fractal.

‘Alpha’ tells us how the pattern changes as we zoom in or out (Rate of -2.5029).
Malthusian Parameter: 3.5699…

Next, imagine tracking the Temperature of a Lake…

Depending on the season, the temperature follows a certain pattern. This predictable, regular change in temperature is a periodic cycle.

Then, imagine a El-Niño hits (Anomaly). The Snowy Lake… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
R < 1: All Anomalies eventually die out

R < 3: Rate of Anomalies becomes Stable

R < 3.449: Rate of Anomalies oscillates between two States

R < 3.544: Rate of Anomalies oscillates, starting with 4 and doubling into 8, 16, etc...

R >= 3.5699: Rate of Anomalies become fully… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Now, what is “Manipulation”?

It’s that of an Anomaly.

It is (by definition) “Fraudulent Price-Discovery”. In Mathematics, we call this a perturbation.

If a ball is rolling down a hill, it is stuck to its path. It requires interference to make it change course, and to do that,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Manipulation is that exact perturbation, and the measurement of a perturbation + the Initial Conditions will define the next trajectory.

You’ll find that these trajectories oscillate between Periodic & Chaotic states.

These are where the numbers come from.
Finally, the Attractor:

Using our prior example of a ball rolling down a hill, there is a force that is pushing that ball down said hill.

Once all Energy within the ball is depleted, the ball will come to a rest. This fixed point of rest is known as the Stable Attraction Point… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
However, there are two Attractors on this hill…

The first is the “Stable Attractor” mentioned above, but the second is called an “Unstable Attractor”, or a “Repeller”.

This would be at the peak of the hill, where the ball is sitting unstable atop. The smallest perturbations in… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Lastly, there’s an Attractor beyond the Stable & Unstable point, and it is the structure of the entire system from beginning to end.

The entire path the ball can take ranges from the top of the hill to the bottom of the hill. It is stuck within that local space, but there is a… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Each individual path is an orbit or a trajectory from one unstable point to the next. It is Chaotic and will seem random.

The entire Topology from the top of the hill to the bottom is the “Strange Attractor”, and this is like the hidden structure behind what makes the ball move.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
If you put legitimate thought into what I’m suggesting, you will find that there is no other explanation that makes more sense for the formation of price - Logically, Algorithmically, and Scientifically.

Combine it with what you know and make sense of how it gives rise to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
This Theory not only explains most Phenomena that take place, but it also explains how most indicators *do not* work - being purely Stochastic in nature.

The market is very rarely in a purely Stochastic state, as shown through my research thus far.

Retail has been bamboozled.
As described in the “Exploratory Trading” Report by A. D. Clark-Joseph, Liquidity Providers engage in Momentum Ignition to “ignite” Momentum in a false direction.

Perhaps, we can consider IPDA is that of an Algorithm of Nonlinear Control.

These are those Perturbations…
This is not a coincidence, and these are Universal concepts for a reason.

Market Dynamics come from Complex Systems of Universality, the same Complex Systems that make up the movements of both Particle & Planetary systems.

This is a true “Theory of Everything”.
Chaos Theory is also used in the modeling of Population Densities.

This video below explains the exact same concepts as above, only through the perspective of Population over Time.

It is the same exact concept, just with a different application.
Thus, I leave you with an ending thought to consider deeply:

As the markets have fallen in the population of Long-Term Traders over the last two Decades…

As HFT Algorithms have grown to make up 70%+ Market Volumes…

Is Nonlinear Control necessary for Market Efficiency?

Had this drawn out before work this morning:

Successfully projected not one, but two trajectories ahead on both X & Y Axis. One is luck - two can almost be likened to “Magic”.

Sensitive Dependence on Initial Conditions.

If you identify the Strange Attractor, the Orbits emerge. ImageImageImage
Using the example of the Hénon Map, think of an Attractor as the “hidden structure” of the Markets. It is an algorithm of Nonlinear Control employed by Liquidity Providers to keep the markets stabilized. Image
Attractors are Fractal in nature. If you were to begin at iteration zero with a blank chart and plot each point individually, the plotting of said points will seem Chaotic and Random

It’s when you plot enough iterations to realize that it isn’t random at all - there’s structure. ImageImage

Alright, I have too many questions... Before I begin, I want to start off by saying that I am still refining rules, and this is not *perfect* yet until I do so.

Let's discuss the characteristics of this framework below:
There is a research paper called "Exploratory Trading" by Adam D. Clark-Joseph that delves into the HFT Strategy of Exploratory Trading & Momentum Ignition.

In prior threads, I have already defined as the true definition of the "Orderblock":
Well, this is building on that Topic, and I now define Exploratory Trading itself to be that of Manipulation within the "Power of 3" concept (Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution).

After Manipulation, HFT Ignites Momentum into a different direction before exiting...

I have to speak my mind about this…

I feel very worried with how many people are dumping *large percentages* of their assets into Cryptocurrencies right now.

I’m a supporter of Cryptocurrency, but the Fed is literally about to Regulate the Industry (supposedly into Oblivion).
Recently, it was revealed that over 186+ Banks could face the same potential consequences as SVB. This is causing a mass movement of assets into what society may deem as “Risk-Free” or “Low-Risk” assets.
cointelegraph.com/news/more-186-…
This is my issue…

When you have millions of people and Billions of dollars leaving the Economy & Banking system and entering into an unregulated industry, there is then a major chance of absolute disaster far greater than it would have been under the Banks alone.

Here’s a little secret:
My Twitter Account was an experiment for the “Feynman Technique”.

This Technique has single-handedly changed my life.

This is entirely the reason why all the content I release is Free, and will remain Free for the foreseeable Future…
I created my account in 2019, but didn’t actually get active until towards the middle of 2021. I didn’t get serious with it until the beginning of 2022.

In 2020, I was in the middle of a personal transformation from a place that I wasn’t proud to be in. I decided it was time to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
By the end of 2021, I had close to 5,000 Followers. From 2021 to 2022, I realized how little I knew compared to others, so I kept learning and posted almost -80% less, only reaching 8,000 followers by the end of 2022.

In 2023, I said that it was time to resume my experiment.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Alright, let’s talk Lorentzian Classification.

As most of you are aware, I’m fascinated with the study of Algorithmic Theory in Finance. I study a wide range of Algorithmic concepts, ranging from Chaos Theory & the Core Pricing Mechanism to Risk-Management & individual Trading… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Recently, I came across a video by @JustinDehorty, where he explains the idea of Lorentzian Classification and showcases an Indicator that utilizes this model as a Proof-of-Concept.

Below is a Summary of his video, followed by an overview of potential twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
When you have an Indicator, such as an RSI or a Moving Average, there are actually a lot of issues that come from the data these derive - and most of you have actually probably analyzed this yourself. It’s a very well-known issue.

There is a lot going on Economically right now… I have a few thoughts about the current situation, and I want to give a little summary of some of the more important things to keep an eye on.

This is only my personal opinion; The situation is volatile and things are changing…
When the Pandemic began, we shut everything down in the Economy and things began taking a turn for the worse. People lost income, and the Government began printing money and sending every citizen in the U.S. ‘Stimulus’ payments, causing an employment shock over a couple years.
In States like California, Fraud is so massive that individual States are in more debt than some small Countries / Nations.

The Prison system even took massive advantage of various stimulus checks & PPP Loans, amounting to Fraud upwards of an estimated $30B in CA alone
