'Time, see what's become of me
While I looked around for my possibilities.
I was so hard to please.
Look around
Seasons change with the scenery,
Weaving time in a tapestry.'
- Simon & Garfunkel
'If I could save Time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day'
-Jim Croce
'Who forces time is pushed back by time; who yields to time finds time on his side.'
-The Talmud
'Time is making fools of us again.'
-J.K. Rowling
Have always prided myself on going where the facts led me, regardless of ideology, assumptions, opinions, precepts, dogma, or theories of faith. It is the method of an empiricist to let experience, especially that of the senses, divine knowledge.
No one said it was easy. But no one ever said it would be so hard.
It is a process of unlearning...
For most of my life have been convinced that fate was random and that the future was in no way connected to the past.
Now I recognize that to be mindful is a discontinuous process and although hard work and skill can 'help' get you a seat at the craps table, we are all lucky fools.
Determinism? Perhaps better described as opportunism, i.e., be mindful of when the coin flips in your favor but do not mistake the flip as random nor yourself as the 'flipper'. Translation: Life comes down to a few moments. Choose wisely.
My journey started when I did a Roberto Duran in 2000 and told my consiglieres 'no mas' and shut down my phone company instead of levering up for untold riches that were due all of us thanks to the new paradigm. The Greek chorus proclaimed me a fool. Time did not.
Once settled down in a new enterprise the journey continued with readings. Time and price and form and sacred geometry (oh my!): circling squares and squaring circles, golden spirals and spirals of growth and decay, vectors and ellipses; a financial algebraic geometry as it were, the pursuit of geometric structures that might shed light on the market's underlying formulas.
Will readily admit that this well-trodden path was transversed quickly thanks to mi amigo Senor Google. Still as in all growth it came in fits and starts. Moving through Baumring and Cowan in a week for example, while lingering on Gann for quite a while.
Elliot, Dow, Demark and Gann. Gann though, was the trigger. The mysterious W.D. Gann. Time and price equivalence results in a turn when they are in 'balance'. And how did you track time Mr. Gann?
Google Gann and astrology and you get a lot of speculation which can be summarized in the observation that Gann had a good astrologer.
And how did you track time Mr. Astrologer?
This is where the journey ended. Then I asked for some help from a 'mysterious' source and the help came fast.
A history rhyme, the truth sublime, through the lookingglass fractal ...'tis trading time.
And trading time is based on a 6 day week.
When you look at any market wearing your polarized time glasses that break down temporality into fractals of 6 days you can see the turns.
It's about time. Literally.
Don't believe me? No worries. Believe your own eyes. Go to www.thedanielcode.com and read it for yourself. Follow it for a couple weeks.
It is what it is.

Had no idea that the knowledge I was seeking would be so divine.

OK... I take it it has been working well for you... For about how long?
More of a speculator and seeker by nature.
However this along with some ancillary chart recognition skills, such as Jeffery Cooper's on 1-3 day, will entice this 'slow adopter' to set up a side desk along with managed account.
You can follow trades on the website for a nominal fee and conclude for yourself whether it works.
Price retracements are common to many theories. Some theories even include time. This theory introduces, among other things, the six day week. Fractals of this charted against price retracements allow the true squaring sometimes elusive with Gann.
There is also, per this humble blogger's opinion, a level of math behind the presentation that is at first not readily apparent. It is fourth dimensional which is just treating our price,time and form as a three dimensional cross-section.
Suppose that there is an arc drawn from a low to a high. Consider further two things, the length of that arc is always a fractal of a fundamental unit and that the point that travels across the arc is the tip of an arrow whose far end is fixed.
If the point travelling is spacetime, the math of the arc would be the third-degree and the angle of the far end of the tip of the fore-imagined arrow, existing in 'future' spacetime, would be the fourth degree.
If you can nail time with the six day week, that gets you price.
At least that is what an empirical approach is returning so far.
As always believe your own eyes.
