Order in Market Chaos

image by Brett Jordan

Is there really such a thing as order in chaos?

Well guess what - the answer is yes. And it doesn’t only apply to the breading habits of rabbits. I’ve linked a youtube video below which talks about “The Feigenbaum Constant (4.669)”. The chaps at Numberphile do a great job at explaining the theory and how the 4.669 constant is calculated.

Their work introduces viewers to the extensive fractal work completed my Mandelbrot and would you believe that the constant is everywhere when analysing financial assets.

We’ve all seen the power of the fibonacci numbers in various asset retraces and extensions but there are some incredible observations when using chaos theory to understand asset price movements.

Would you have believed me in Aug 2017 when BTC broke out above $3000 that it was projecting at least a monthly close of $13500? Well here you are …

To see how we use the 4.669 and other KCLs (Key Chaos Levels) in our trading, check out our education page, there is a pdf you can download for free.

As previuosly mentioned here is the video to “The Feigenbaum Constant (4.669)” by Numberphile
