Fractal Dimension

John F Ehlers' Fractal Dimension

Description:

Fractal Dimension is a measure of how complicated a self similar shape is. For instance, a line is smaller and more basic than a square.

The lower the Fractal Dimension the closer a stock chart is to a straight line and therefore the stronger the trend. High readings on the other hand reveal a complex fractal; the shape of a range bound market.

These two different market types require very different strategies in order to maximize profits and minimize losses.
