Hello, so I've been in the forex market (currency trading and exchanges) for quite some time, I've done reasonably well, however I was curious as to how perhaps calculus and other mathematical methods could benefit me. Basically, I am a day trader...I wanted to know if there is a way to predict probabilities in the market based on the previous day and trends. I was wondering if differentiation the charts would tell me the rate at which I can expect the currencies to change the following day. Would this be a good method? thoughts please.

There are theories as stars in the sky, and professional traders use them. Currencies are highly volatile so predictions are notoriously difficult as there are simply too many unknowns. I recommend to read some books on pricing, esp. of futures and options.
