Brent,
I am reading about how to do it..

Time is in trading hours.
Price is Price in dollars.

The theory is that the hypotenuse is called a vector.
I haven't done the hunderd hours of research but, What I read was that
there exists a 
vector that expesses itself over time. 
This vector expands or contacts according to a musical scale and to
basic geometrical forms
like the square, golden rectangle and cube.

Example:

The 1470 11:30 high on 12/3/99
The 1410.5 low at 13:30 pm 12/9/99
Price delta = 59.5
Hours delta = 30
Vector = 66.635
========

The 1410.5 low at 13:30 pm 12/9/99
The 1496.5 high at 9:30 am 1/3/00
Price delta = 86.5
time delta  =104 hours

Vector = 135.271..

I divide  135.271 by 66.636 and get  2.030... 
Hmmm pretty doggone close.. So there is a PTV vector at work in the
futures of 66.635.
=======
Take the high at 1496 .50 to the 1387 low which took 14 hours.
That vector is 110.39.. 
If I divide it by 135.271 I get .816.. funny number.. 
but it is the ratio of the  Diagonal of the Cube divided by the diagonal
of a square...

I will let you figure that one out.. I am stumped..Maybe Number Genius
Mark Brown will elucidate.
