Okay, I found out about this thread by chance, I was originally reading your other thread with some 600+ pages and there I saw couple of Mandelbrot related posts. Which led me to search FX for the topic and I stumbled on this possible gem. I'm typical lurker who never really posts.
I've found out about the Mandelbrots work not too long ago too and I'm in process of digesting his material, (have collected all the books and read couple of them, not easy given the math capability required) but I trust its one of the most interesting things one can read in his lifetime, especially for those are ever aspiring to be involved with financial markets.
As a student and trader, its important to learn this, even if you don't get the math completely, its important to know standard deviation is not the "core" set of finance as drilled by books and many price based studies out there.
I find this topic interesting, unfortunately I'm lacking in understanding to contribute in any valuable way atm
I'm also trying to understand VEEFX time based approach of studying trends, to certain degree I feel affinity to the theory/his thought process. I wish you both the luck and I hope discussions between you two and many others can benefit ppl like me.
Note that I do not have finance background, I trade but not in forex, so this is interest only regarding to your studies and thought process.
