About

This site came about after many years of my personal interest in trading. For the early part of my intellectual journey, I was completely interested in fundamental analysis and believed that all technical analysis was rubbish. After all, I had an MBA from a good university and knew all about the fundamentals of listed organizations and the factors that contributed to their success or lack thereof.

My first interest prior to embarking upon degrees in business and economics, was engineering, sciences and mathematics… later, when I began to think about some of the factors regarding technical analysis and put them in the context of fractal geometry – I began having second thoughts about technical analysis.

The realization that technical analysis can quite easily be equated to fractal geometry – the geometry of living organisms – becomes very clear when you look at stock charts as nothing more than activity trails (or ‘fossils’, if you will) of human activity and emotion. People buying and selling stocks are nothing more than biological organisms interacting in recognizable patterns. Identifying these patterns and seeking irregularities needing correction or other recognizable patterns could be very lucrative.

Professor Simons has proven as much and so now the race is on.
