Simplify the complexity of financial trading and technical analysis with a new dynamic approach that is helping traders across the globe identify the trade cycles that influence financial markets. Learn how to detect tradable cycles in the stock market properly, use such information to improve technical indicators, and forecast market turns using cycle analysis. Using layman's terms, this helpful guide offers many trading examples using cycle analysis tools on major stock market indices, sentiment data, forex and cryptocurrencies, and many more. The book provides solid knowledge on dominant cycle analysis and ways to use it in the stock market for trading. Apart from the methodology, concrete examples of applying cycle analysis into cycle trading practice in the stock market are laid out in an easy-to-follow format. The presented approach differs from traditional static cycle approaches in that it takes a dynamic approach to cycles. The dynamic cycle approach builds upon existing research from J.M. Hurst "The Profit Magic of Stock Transaction Timing" (1970), John Ehlers "Cycle Analytics for Traders" (2013), and B.J. Millard "Channels and Cycles" (1999), and then takes both the theory and practice of cyclic-based trading to new levels, thereby extending the body of knowledge on cycle analytics. In particular, the unique dynamic approach attempts to identify the current dominant cycle in a way that can be used on financial charts at the right edge of the trading screen, where decisions must be made in real time. This is the perfect book for traders who want to understand the technical underpinnings of cycle analytics used in trading decisions. It contains discussions of the theoretical background for cycle detection with Digital Signal Processing, true market examples, ready-made indicators, and source codes for different platforms, making it an all-around resource for both beginning and veteran traders who wish to match the pace of advancement in this field. The cycle detection framework provided in this book is backed by years of research, with an emphasis on simplicity for analyzing markets rather than mathematical purity. The presented dynamic approach will assist traders in implementing new indicators and trading strategies.

The book introduces correlations between markets and external energy cycles like gravity and geomagnetism. Digital signal processing techniques are used to reverse engineer Gann's master cycles, resulting in a 100% mechanical cycle-based trading system that has shown a compounded growth rate of 20% per year over the last 30 years when back-tested using the Dow. The book introduces new non-linear indicators and reviews the significance of a cyclic sentiment predictor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index. To that end, using daily data covering the period from 1935 to 2013, ancient cycles are considered as predictors to forecast daily sentiment for years ahead of time. Forecasts plotted as predictive indicators are transformed into a mechanical trading rule whose profitability has been evaluated against the Dow buy-and-hold performance of 1990-2013. The results suggest that trading based on recurring sentiment significantly outperforms the Dow in nearly all performance metrics, including net return, profitability, and Sharpe ratio. Includes TradeStation / EasyLanguage code to rebuild indicators and trading system. Generic pseudo code and step-by-step guidelines included.

Edward R. Dewey, as chief economist in the Hoover Administration, was tasked by President Hoover to figure out what caused the 1929 stock market crash and ensuing depression. In the course of his extensive investigations, he became convinced that something important was missing from our collective knowledge of how economies and societies work—a working knowledge of cycles. He was joined in his quest to establish a “science of cycles” by other leaders of his time, including Ivy League scientists, Smithsonian Directors, Industrial CEOs, Ambassadors, and political leaders. First published in 1971, Cycles: The Mysterious Forces that Trigger Events was Dewey’s answer to President Hoover’s question and to many more questions which had arisen from his decades of research. Are there cycles in nature? In war? On Wall Street? In the universe? In you? Are cycles across different phenomena aligned with each other? Find out in this compelling book!

The global financial markets turn over billions of dollars daily. An array of different instruments is available to trade in these markets, ranging from simple stocks and shares to exotic creatures such as butterfly spreads. Participation at any level involves taking a view as to which way the market in question will move. There are essentially only two methods for analysing the future direction of the markets in equities, currencies, interest rates or commodities: one involves fundamental analysis, the other technical analysis. The two camps of investment analysts are separated by a wide gulf of distrust and suspicion. This book seeks to bridge the gap between the two disciplines and show how you can benefit from both, highlighting: • The tools you can use for mapping the markets—to understand what causes shifts in the trend and underlying forces that affect the economy and therefore the financial markets • The long-term cyclical drivers—how economic change is triggered by technological change, and the technological changes that will drive the markets in the future • Downward phases of the cycle—and the factors that cause them • The markets and sectors that will prosper in the future. As the world of investment gets ever more complicated and faster, Mapping the Markets will provide an invaluable route to improving your chances of investment success and avoiding investment distress, whether you are a long-term investor or a short-term trader.
