LJ Parsons Harmonic Time Stamps

Purpose of the Script

This script is designed to divide a specific time period on a market chart (from startDate to endDate) into fractional segments based on mathematically significant ratios. It then plots vertical lines at the first candle that occurs at or after each of these fractional timestamps. Each line is labeled according to an interval scheme, as outlined by LJ Parsons

Start (00) and End (00): Marks the beginning and end of the period.

Intermediate labels (m2, M2, m3, M3, …): Represent divisions of the time period that correspond to specific fractions of the whole.

This creates a visual “resonance map” along the price chart, where the timing of price movements can be compared to mathematically significant points.

Parsons Market Resonance Theory proposes that markets move in patterns that are not random but resonate with underlying mathematical structures, analogous to logarithmic relationships. The key ideas reflected in this script are:

Temporal Fractional Resonance
By marking fractional points of a defined time period, the script highlights potential moments when market activity might “resonate” due to cyclical patterns. These points are analogous to overtones in music—certain times may have stronger market reactions.

Mapping Market Movements to "Just Intonation" Intervals
Assigning Interval labels to fractional timestamps provides a symbolic framework for understanding market behaviour. For example, the midpoint (P5) may correspond to strong market turning points, while minor or major intervals (m3, M6) might correspond to subtler movements.

Identifying Potentially Significant Points in Time
The plotted lines do not predict price direction but rather identify temporal markers where price movements may be more likely to display structured behaviour. Traders or researchers can then study price reactions around these lines for correlations with market resonance patterns.

In essence, the script turns a period of time into a harmonic structure, with each line and label acting like a “note” in the market’s temporal symphony. It’s a tool to visualize and test whether price behaviour aligns with the resonant fractions hypothesized in MRT.
