There are similarities that repeat that could be called patterns.  But 
they cannot be predicted on a regular basis by squares or spirals.

I believe you can draw pretty patterns ex-post-facto on charts but you 
cannot draw a geometric pattern on the right edge and trade from there 
profitably over any sustained period.  It is not possible to prove that the 
patterns won't work.  If you believe you can, the burden of proof is on 
you.  Put some definitive markets calls over the next 6 months on this list 
and perhaps I'll change my stance.

This post falls into the "me too"/"thank you" category which has been 
declared inappropriate on the list.  Tom Bown, please refrain from making

Norman, these kinds of posts are inappropriate for this forum.  Please 
refrain from them and limit your posts to market-related topics.  Thank you 
for your cooperation in keeping a polite and noise-free list.
 
 
God bless you.  And Jesus bless you too.  And the Virgin 
Mary.  And that Pope guy.

Kent,
 
Honest questions derived from professional 
curiosity and a sincere desire to improve all our trading skills, no 
intent other than what is clearly stated below is implied or should be 
perceived.
 
You said "IN REALITY, the markets are totally 
chaotic".
Do you believe the markets are totally random and 
contain no patterned behavior ?
I believe a detailed study of the historical 
price activity of each market does reveal a definitive patterned and 
predictive behavior for that specific market.
 
You said "You will never become a professional 
trader by drawing geometric patterns on charts".
Did you believe there is no geometry involved in 
market price behavior ?
I believe that a detailed study of the geometrical 
behavior of historical price activity for any given market does reveal geometric 
patterns that can be extremely powerful in predicting future price activity 
behavior for the specific market being studied. 
 
I would be extremely interested in opening a 
dialog with you via the list as I believe we could explore these 
positions/beliefs to the benefit of ourselves and many of the 
other subscribers to the list.
 
God Bless and best wishes in all your future 
endeavors,Tom

  Good point on the methods discussed on this list.  And 
  I think that does thenewbies on the list a disservice.  As humans, 
  our brains want to formpatterns and see the market respond to pleasant 
  shapes like squares andgentle waves.  IN REALITY, the markets are 
  totally chaotic.  You will neverbecome a professional trader by 
  drawing geometric patterns on charts.  Butnewbies don't know 
  this.  They think that mystical methods have merit.  Thislist 
  doesn't exist to disabuse newbies of that notion, but more and more 
  itexists to promote those methods.  And like you said, most of the 
  quants aregone.List often do have agendas that are not spelled 
  out.  And the fact that Markattacked BobsKC for being a vendor and 
  now BobsKC is the
