Criticality

No analysis today. This video is a stream of consciousness talking out my ideas to myself that I am currently processing.

We discuss our momentum and volatility ideas as they continue their development into the field of criticality. The notion of criticality I've come to realize is how structure and momentum together create the system we call 'financial markets'. This system oscillating between disorder and order sometimes stabilizes in the middle at 'criticality' where a lot of interesting activity occurs, including fractalization. So much of our already developed strategy involves finding, measuring and trading price close to this line. Where previously we were a market participant, although we felt some degree removed or transcended from the herd now it appears we have moved further as we acquire a more conscious understanding of our place within the system and therefore an understanding of what we are and what the system is.

As mentioned towards the end there is a beautiful idea buried in here that consciousness itself is fundamentally the edge in all trading strategies. It appears to be something else, something specific and measurable but across all the strategies that work, and along the spectrum of strategies that are better and worse it is consciousness in the end that is the only edge that actually exists. All these specific versions are expressions of consciousness. Of course this is just speculation. It's a beautiful way of understanding how the pieces fit together it does not mean this is how they actually do.

Good Trading.
