Reflexivity

“The process is fundamentally different from the processes that are studied by natural science. There, one set of facts follows another without any interference from thoughts or perceptions (although quantum physics introduces uncertainty). When a situation has thinking participants, the sequence of events does not lead directly from one set of facts to the next; rather, it connects facts to perceptions and perceptions to facts in a shoelace pattern. Thus, the concept of reflexivity yields a ‘shoelace” theory of history.”

Trend

Jesse Livermore: “It may surprise many to know that in my method of trading, when I see by my records that an upward trend is in progress, I become a buyer as soon as a stock makes a new high on its movement, after having had a normal reaction. The same applies whenever I take the short side. Why? Because I am following the trend at the time. My records signal me to go ahead!”

Reflected

 John Murphy: “The statement ‘market action discounts everything’ forms what is probably the cornerstone of technical analysis. [...] The technician believes that anything that can possibly affect the price–fundamentally, politically, psychologically, or otherwise–is actually reflected in the price of that market.”
