Ermanometry Concepts: Introduction
"It would be very singular that all nature, all the planets should obey eternal laws, and that there should be a little animal, five feet high, who, in contempt of these laws, could act as he pleased, solely according to his caprice. Chance, also, is nothing but a word invented to express the known effect of an unknown cause."
-Voltaire, The Ignorant Philosopher
Voltaire was the pen name of Francois Marie Arouet. His philosophical writings were in opposition to the established social and political thought of his time, and many historians believe his work was instrumental in the ideology and start of the French Revolution.
The thesis of Ermanometry is counter to the established random walk concept of market movements, and Voltaire’s words regarding chance and nature provide a fitting introduction to some Ermanometry concepts. Established thought does not dispute that humankind is part of nature, nor that the markets have been created and exist through the efforts of humankind.
Fact: Humankind is part of nature and subject to its laws.
Fact: Humankind creates and maintains all freely traded markets.
Therefore, it logically follows that markets are also subject to nature's laws; the same laws governing tides, planets, the seasons etc. Laws of nature promote order and order enables predictability. Order may be as simple as forecasting high tide, or complex as investigating atomic structure. When you decode markets, order, both simple and complex, is evident. On this web site you will see many examples of both kinds of order in the markets.
