The Circle of Life - In Tune with Time

 

The Stonehenge and numerous other 360 degree circles around the world demonstrate our ancestor’s focus on telling time correctly. 

For example, many have a consistent orientation to the summer and winter solstice. Others include time for plantings, ceremonies and astronomical observations.

Time influences everything we do and, by extension, our investment decisions. As you will see, there is strong astronomical support and evidence for how we tell time.

In that context and like a clock, the numbers 3, 6 and 9 are very relevant.

A Critical Question

Why do we use Time Frames, Concepts and Indicators which result in the numbers 3, 6 and 9 so frequently...and why is that important?

For example…among numerous others

Daily, weekly and monthly = 3 key time frames

Price, Time & Distance = 3 key principles

A signal indicator has a 6 period value

ACE-9 - Uses a 9 period value

Pivot Point - Uses a 9 period configuration

The Answer Revealed

The reason we use 3, 6 & 9 so frequently and the secret for telling time correctly is clearly explained in Time, Distance & the Universe here. In particular, note the "Significance of the Number 9". 

This is the "why" for using nature's numbers and parameters to tell time. It's how time in the universe actually works.

Now you see why the numbers we use in our Time Frames, Concepts and Indicators are in harmony with nature's time. 

 An Old Prospector's Perspective

As the Old Prospector said in Part 2 of the Independence Gold Mine...

"It's really very simple. In the terms of price, time and distance, time is the most important. If one can tell time, one can be quite successful. Price and distance follow. Meditate on that for a minute."

And that is why it works so well, particularly in long term charts, such as the monthly S&P500 and XAU examples below.

In Conclusion

You may want to include these numbers in your own work since it's critically important for all of us to be "in tune with time" in any life endeavor including the markets.

Benchmark’s extraordinary record is a reflection and result from using nature’s numbers in time.

Invest wisely.
