Market personalities: trend-prone energy, range-prone metals
market personality
A market's measured tendency toward trending or ranging behaviour, with a physical rationale behind it. Personalities are real enough to shape strategy design and unreliable enough to end without notice: every one on record has spent multi-year stretches being the opposite of itself, with dates attached. A personality is a regime that has lasted, never a truth.
This lesson is part of the advanced modules.
Modules 6 to 8 are included with a paid account. The definitional summary above is the whole of this page until then.
