Fractal derivative

Fractal derivative is a type of mathematical equation used by investors to try and predict and measure the future price movements of stocks, commodities, and other financial markets. Basically, it works by looking at the past trends of a market and using them to anticipate what the price will do in the future. The equation looks at how the price has changed over a certain period of time - for example, one month, one year, or five years - and calculates different patterns of price movements. It then uses this information to predict the future values of these markets.
