Seventh Homework Set Answers

7. (a) To find the Trading Time increments, first solve this equation for D.
.5D + .5D + .5D + .5D = 1
The solution is D = 2.
Then the Trading Time increments are
dT1 = .52 = .25,   dT2 = .52 = .25,   dT3 = .52 = .25,   dT4 = .52 = .25,  
(b) Here are the generators, Price-Clock Time in blue, Price-Trading Time in red.
(c) The graph shows only one generator, in purple to indicate the superposition of red and blue. The reason the Price-Trading Time and Price-Clock TIme graphs coincide is that the original generator is unifractal. Converting to Trading Time changes a multifractal generator to a unifractal generator, so here we see that if the generator already is unifractal, the conversion to Trading Time leaves the generator unchanged.
