We need a technical result: |
Proposition If 0 < |dY1| < 1,
0 < |dY2| < 1, and 0 < |dY3| < 1,
then there is a unique number D satisfying |
|dY1|D + |dY2|D
+ |dY3|D = 1. |
Moreover, if |dY1| + |dY2| +
|dY3| > 1, then D > 1. |

Define the trading time increments dT1, dT2, and dT3 by |
dT1 = |dY1|D |
dT2 = |dY2|D |
dT3 = |dY3|D |
|
Note all the trading time increments are positive. |
This is no surprise, because
although trading time may go more rapidly or more slowly than clock time, it
cannot go backwards relative to clock time. |
We will have no violations of causality here. |
With the trading time and clock time increments we construct the
trading time vs clock time generator. |
