Momentum as Motion Paths

Track price momentum like a drone tracks its trajectory

Track price momentum like a drone tracks its trajectory. The API computes kinematic chains through data space, revealing momentum structure invisible to traditional indicators.


The Concept


Forward kinematics, borrowed from robotics, describes how a series of connected joints move through space. We apply this same principle to market data, treating each price bar as a "joint" in a kinematic chain.


Market as a Kinematic Chain


Just as a robot arm's position depends on the angles of all its joints, the current market state depends on the sequence of all previous price movements. By tracking this kinematic chain, we can:


  • Visualize the path of momentum through data space
  • Identify when momentum is building or dissipating
  • Detect structural changes in market behavior

  • The Transformation


    Each price bar creates a transformation matrix that:


    1. Rotates the current state based on price change

    2. Translates position based on volume and volatility

    3. Compounds with previous transformations


    Momentum Visualization


    The quantum visualizer shows this momentum as a flowing field, where:


  • **Wave patterns** represent momentum oscillations
  • **Vector fields** show directional bias
  • **Interference patterns** reveal conflicting forces

  • Practical Applications


    Forward kinematics helps us:


  • **Predict continuation**: When momentum is building consistently
  • **Identify exhaustion**: When the kinematic chain shows strain
  • **Spot reversals**: When the momentum path changes direction
