Wave and ratio self-similarity as a testable chart hypothesis

The archive presents Elliott wave analysis, Fibonacci retracement, and Gann angles as the same conditions on every chart scale, framed as fractal self-similarity. Pattern work is then a test of dependence among open-high-low-close bars, and a repeated story is not accepted in place of a testable assertion.

  • Elliott wave analysis, Fibonacci retracement, and Gann angles are presented as operating the same way on intraday, daily, weekly, and monthly price charts.
  • Cross-scale repetition is offered as fractal self-similarity, and later pattern work tests dependence among open-high-low-close bars.
  • Systematic rules are preferred so a chart hypothesis can be checked on history before capital is committed.
  • Impressive repetition of a wave, ratio, or angle story is rejected as a substitute for a testable assertion.

The same structure on every scale

Wave counts from Elliott wave analysis, retracement overlays from Fibonacci retracement, and cycle or angle geometry from Gann angles are presented as operating the same way on intraday, daily, weekly, and monthly price charts. That cross-scale repetition is offered as an instance of fractal self-similarity rather than as a unique property of one chart interval.

Bars as a record of participant views

The open-high-low-close bar is treated as a compact record of all participant views across time frames. Later pattern work is a test of dependence among those bars.

A check on history is not a forward claim

A past-tested method is not assumed to keep working. A method that never worked historically is treated as having no forward case. Systematic rules are preferred because they let a chart hypothesis be checked on history before capital is committed.

Discretion is admitted only with a tight invalidation

Discretionary wave or ratio setups are still admitted when they appear medium- to long-term, with large potential and a tight invalidation. Impressive repetition of a wave, ratio, or angle story is rejected as a substitute for a testable assertion.
