Re: Random?

In chaos theory chaotic implies a higher form of order. In other words, non-randomness on a higher level. An example of this would be the fractal nature of the markets. A 5 min. chart looks like a 15 min. chart looks like a 240 minute chart. The higher timeframes tending to influence the lower ones. If markets were random this would not be the case.

As far as saying the markets are logical, this can't be the case. In that markets are driven by FEAR and GREED two emotions that defy all logic.
