How to Stop Being Scared or Shaken Out Of Winning Trades
he markets really frightened a lot of people in the last month. We’ve received lots of emails
and comments from people wondering what’s happening in the markets and why the deeper
downtrend didn’t prompt new trade triggers. Well, the quick answer is “this downtrend did
prompt new BAN trade triggers and this pullback is still quite mild compared to historical
examples”. Allow me to explain my thinking.
The recent FOMC meeting as well as the expiration of the future contracts usually prompts some
broad market concerns. Many professional traders refuse to trade over the 7+ days near an
FOMC meeting – the volatility levels are usually much higher and this can throw some trading
strategies into chaos. Our BAN Trader Pro strategy handles volatility quite well most of the time.
Recently, the BAN Trader Pro strategy initiated new trade triggers of subscribers and myself.
Our members are engaged in the best-performing assets for the potential upside price rally
that may take place over the next couple of months. Our strategies target opportunities based
on proven quantitative technology – not emotions and use proven position management to
maximize gains while reducing draw downs.
Transportation Index Daily Chart Is Bullish
This leading index shows early strength in the market with an upside target of $14,668. That is
a 3.5%-4.5% upside move ahead of us.
Recently, we’ve seen some substantial support in the Transportation Index that aligns with
our BAN Trader Pro strategy. The rally in the Transportation Index, which usually leads the US
economy by at least 2 to 4 months, suggests the markets are actively seeking out a support
level/momentum base for another rally phase.
Using a Fibonacci Extension tool, we can clearly see the TRAN has another 3.5% to 4.5% to
rally before reaching the 100% measured move target near $14,668. This level represents a
full 100% rally phase equaling the initial rally from levels near $12,000 which started back in
February 2021.

Dow Jones Industrial Index Daily Chart is Bullish
The Dow Jones Industrial Average has already reached the 100% Fibonacci Measured move –
and broken above that level. If the markets rally from this recent pullback, we believe a 4% to
5%+ rally in the Dow index is very possible. This type of bullish price trend suggests a target
level near $34,000.
One thing, many traders fail to consider is these 4% to 5% rallies in the Transportation Index
and/or the Dow Jones Industrial Average will likely prompt an 8% to 20%+ rally in some of the
best-performing assets/sectors. For example, after the bottom in early February, during a time
when the index rallied less than 1%, the best-performing assets we tracked rallied more than
7% to 25%. The strength of these top-performing sectors/symbols can be very powerful – even
while the US major indexes are drifting sideways.

If the Transportation and Dow Index rally 4% or more over the next few weeks, then some of
the best performing sectors will strong gains in our favor. It depends on how strong these top-
performing sectors react to the underlying momentum associated with each symbol though.
How to Avoid Emotional Trading Decisions
Trading based on emotions can lead to early, and sometimes foolish, entry and exits of positions.
The market has a way of faking/shaking price which often prompt traders to react to the 2%
to 4% swings in the markets as if they are catastrophic. Some of the best advice we can oer
active traders other than becoming part of our trading group and pre-market analysis and trade
alerts are...
_ Trust your system/strategy and follow it from entry to exit trigger.
_ Dene your risks and run the strategy eciently
_ Develop ways to identify and resolve strategy failure early and often
_ Trading involves risks – learn to execute the strategy within your risk parameters (position
sizing)
_ Don’t let emotions control you. Trade rules should protect you during high & low volatility
conditions.
If you don’t have a strategy and can’t see yourself sticking to these simple rules, then maybe it
is time to nd a better strategy or to attempt to develop some of these tactics into your existing
strategy. You can follow me to success with my ETF Swing Trading Strategy, or our Options

Far too many people get lucky with a strategy then leverage their trading because they feel
they will never fail. Failure of any strategy, often represented as the largest drawdown amount,
should be multiplied by at least 3x when comparing risks. Just because your strategy showed
one period of drawdown representing a -$5,500 loss does not mean that type of price activity is
an isolated event. That type of drawdown could happen repeatedly, over a very short period of
time, representing a -$16,500 loss.
The strongest strategy components are those that help to contain losses, manage risks
and allow for the protection of capital. Remember, “living to trade another day” is far more
important than huge gains o of one or two trades followed by a string he big losers that blow
up your account.
In closing, get ready for a recovery in stock prices. With the indexes poised to move higher by
another 3.5% - 5% before reaching the next 100% measured move suggests some sectors
will post spectacular gains. Don’t let emotions dictate your decisions – run your strategy (or
nd a better strategy to trade with). The best performing sectors/symbols usually continue to
outperform the US major indexes when trending higher.
Don’t miss the opportunities in the broad market sectors over the next 6+ months. 2021 and
beyond are going to be incredible years for traders and investors. Staying ahead of these sector
trends is going to be key to developing continued success. As some sectors fail, others will
begin to trend higher. Learn how BAN Trader Pro can help you spot the best trade setups and
deliver alerts to your phone and inbox.
We’ve built this technology to help us identify the strongest and best trade setups in any market
sector. Every day, we deliver these setups to our subscribers along with the BAN Trader Pro

Using Gann’s Rules with the Dogs of the Dow
In the study of Gann one can often become overwhelmed with the possibility of
instruments in which to trade or invest. Sometimes there are reasons to trade certain
instruments such as corn or soybeans as that is a crop that one grows. But how would a simple
investor or trader select and then use Gann’s techniques in today’s world. One suggestion is to
use a simple technique of selecting stocks that are then evaluated with Gann techniques.
One such technique is the Dogs of the Dow which has been popular since I began trading. I have
modified the technique a bit but the essence is the same as one takes the lowest cost stocks in
the Dow Jones Industrial Index and invest an equal amount of your capital into each one. This
idea forms the basis for the choices of which to consider investing into for a period of time.
One adjustment is to consider the lowest 1/3 or 10 of the lowest cost stocks in the DOW and
then look to a simple value of the P/E values. I use the current P/E and the forward P/E (future
outlook). I ask a simple question is the current P/E higher than the future P/E and by how much.
The table below shows the answer to that question for the 8 lowest priced stocks in the DJIA.
The table for the Dogs of the Dow shows 4 groups of
stocks:
1. Future P/E is less than current P/E: INTC
2. No calculation of % P/E: WBA, CVX
3. Future P/E change is 0- 50%: CSCO, KO, VZ
4. Future P/E change is 50%- 65%: DOW, MRK
Having identified the “Dogs of the Dow” that would be traded by that simple technique we then
take it one step further and evaluate the charts for each market for and understanding of the
state of each market and the possible outcomes in the coming months or year.
Current P/E of INTC is not higher than the future suggesting stalled earnings. The monthly price
chart shows a range and price is
currently at the top of the range.
As the goal is to capture an
upwards move during the next 12
months the outlook is not rosy.
The range (due to stalled
earnings) has been factored into
the forward P/E and confirms that
www.
tradersworld.com
April/May/June 2021
13
PB www.
tradersworld.com
July/August/September 2016
the price is not expected to break out of the current range. So as a “blind” Dog of the DOW
investment INTC could end up giving a loss or a dividend payment of 2.29% at best.
No calculation of Forward P/E: WBA, CVX as the earnings per share were negative for the 2020
year and company is experiencing losses.
Evaluation of WBA’s historic P/E shows that
2020 was a single event and attributed to the
impact of COVID-19 in the UK. This gives a
good opportunity for growth in 2021. The
chart shows the price at a 10-year low.
Additional study shows that a yearly high can
be expected in May or June giving a warning
about currently investing long for more than a
short time period of no more than 3 months.
On the monthly chart CVX is at 110 and
approaching resistance at 113 and a multiyear
topping area with a strong resistance at 120.
As a short-term trade, a gain of 20% is possible
and a date of May to August would be expected
for the high but the low entry point was
missed. Entry in October 2020 would have
given the best gain.
These 3 charts are suggesting that an entry into the market at this point in these instrument is
likely ill advised as the markets tend to top out in early summer for the summer downtrend. A
quick look at the other markets gives a similar outlook due to the time of the year and the state
of the charts.
Future P/E change is 0- 50%: CSCO, KO, VZ all show range bound stocks that have persisted for
more than a year and any move inside the ranges towards the upside have been made.

PB www.
tradersworld.com
July/August/September 2016
Future P/E change is 50%- 65%: DOW, MRK are the only two that would give a possible trade
depending upon one’s level of risk acceptance.
DOW has been trending upwards for the
past year as it moves out of its all-time low
since beginning trading as a spinoff of the
DOW/Dupont company as one of 3
independent companies. This is the reason
for such a short span of market data. It has
moved up above the prior highs and Gann’s
rules would say trade a market that is
making new highs. BUT it is trading at the
top of a price channel which it has hit 3 times
without passing through suggesting a break
downwards is on the horizon. Caution is raised
with this state.
And finally, MRK (Merck) appears to be the
best trade for those looking to trade the
Dogs of the DOW at this time of year. Stock
price is currently at the bottom of a
downtrend that began in January 2021 and
has just broken above the low bar of the
downtrend. Another up weekly bar and Gann’s 3
bar low rule will be in play and an entry long
would be suggested. There is plenty of room
above price to get a 15% return in the trade.
The above shows two points to consider. First is that the Dogs of the Dow technique is best used
at the end of the year or slightly before (October) and not in March as most of the upwards
trending occurred well before the current month.
Second, that by observing the actual price charts of the Dogs one can get a confirmation of the
first point and know that it is likely best to not try and bend the rules of the simple technique. In
Gann’s rules for trading and chart reading are the rules to prevent entries into markets that
would likely produce losses or at best delayed profits at this point in the year.

Vibration, please see my author page at the Institute of Cosmological Economics, here:

FERRERA’S NEW COURSE—THE ART OF THE TRADE
W. D. GANN’S SYSTEM OF CHART READING & PATTERN TRADING
Dan Ferrera’s new trading course, The Art of the Trade, provides thorough instruction in W.D. Gann’s key
trading methodology, . It teaches “ ” the way Gann himself did it, demonstrating how
to trade the fundamental market patterns identified by Gann. This strategic approach to trading provides advantages
that allow the trader to react to the markets in real-time, without indicator lag. Pattern Trading eliminates lagging
mechanical indicators, which are always based on what the market did in the past and not the present. This style of
“Form-Reading,” as Gann called it, allows one to make decisions in real time, as the opportunities develop on the chart.
The course provides a clear set of rules for reading these market patterns to determine entry, exit, risk
management, and trade management as determined by the recognition of a set of fundamental market patterns identified
by Gann. This approach differs from Gann’s mechanical swing indicators and from his long-pull position trading,
providing a different perspective and alternative trading style, that most often used by Gann himself. The technique is
equally effective on any time frame, so is as valuable for day-traders as it is for daily traders. It also generates a larger
number of trades than his other trading methods.

Following up on the previous Traders World #70 article “How to construct A Tunnel Thru The Air”,
I want to explain how W.D. Gann’s application of Words and Gematria to conceal his cycles.
Most Gann researchers are aware of the Gematria process of converting an alphabetical letter
and words to a numerical value via Gematria, but none have suciently proved it within Gann’s
writings. Gann thru his non-deplume Luo Clement book ‘The Ancient Science of Number’ is a
great example of the ‘9’ based ‘Pythagorean Gematria’ system, but this is only a teaser to the
Bible/Masonic Gematria Cipher that he widely used.
The Gematria Values of Words give the number series for calculating his Cipher to astrologically
determine the anchor points of his cycles, the cycle’s growth dynamics, and its harmonic ratio
proportions. Qualities that we would label as ‘The Law of Vibration’ and ‘Natural Law’. It sounds
complicated, but in reality, it is very simple once you know his many processes.
Be aware, this will challenge your cognitive dissonance regarding pre-learnt Gann theories. I
make no apologies. Gann and his peers had a secret, and you were not invited to join their Club.
Nearly everything he wrote contained hidden ciphered cycles with good vibration, even as early
as his letter home to his parents Christmas 1907.
So his Parents were in the Club? Disappointing to most readers who believe his every word at
face value. Sorry, but you were Fooled, you were not in the Club. Many would be insulted to
know just how much they were fooled, and how great the truth was, just under their noses. This
‘Lost Art’ was a common practice amongst the academics of this era and days past.
Without giving the cipher away, simplifying the book series method, I will give some resulting
examples that you can test for yourselves.
Gann, in his own words tells you ‘The “Tunnel Thru the Air” is mysterious and contains a
valuable secret, clothed in a veiled language’.
Sure, you scream, I’ve seen this a thousand times before. But did you notice the font structure
of the sentence? The small ‘t’ of ‘the’, ‘The Tunnel Thru The Air’ now becomes ‘Tunnel Thru Air’
for this example given on the rst page of the Foreword and never repeated again thru the book.
Simply evaluate the Words using a 9-based Pythagorean Gematria, equate a summation series
for the 3 Word cycle, the percentage within the cycle, their midpoint values, and overlay onto a
stock indices chart to evaluate its properties.

TUNNEL 235553 = 23, THRU 2893 = 22, AIR 199 = 19.
Assume the known obvious cycle anchor dates from the Forward’s 9th May to Robert Gordon’s
Birth date and starting the book with 10th June, add +365 days (eectively Squaring the Circle)
for 397 days. Gurus with poor charting software can use MS Excel to give TUNNEL 35.9% on
9th May + 142.5 days on 28th Sept, THRU 70.3% for 279.1 days on 12Feb, and AIR 100% of
the cycle 397 days on 10th June. Mid Points or 2nd Harmonic dates are 19th July, 5th Dec and 12th
April. Cycles repeat forward.

While I’m here on the Tunnel Forward, Gann’s very rst words were
“Happy is the man that ndeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding” from Proverbs
3:13 (and Rev 13.18). Working under the auspices of Gann we soon come to understand that he
is subtly giving us an extensive lesson in esoteric knowledge, aliating us into his secret club,
without us even being aware. Remember “MAN” is ‘Made in the Image of God’, therefore Man
looks exactly like God, or Man equals God. So consider, I am a Man, I am
God, you are a Man, making you a God, we are all Gods, or should that be ‘IAM GOD’? Ehyeh
Asher Ehyeh, Iam that Iam. “Iam” or “I” equals 5, the 5th Zodiac is Leo, when the Sun is at
0*Leo on 23rd July, you know the Bible’s “Young Lion”, “King of the Jungle”, the “EYE (I) of
Providence”, the B-Grade celebrities running around with One Black (Right) EYE or making “OK”
hand gestures over their EYE, etc. OK, you are now in their Club, you can now understand that
they are self-apotheosising themselves to be God. “I”, say it loud and proud, for good personal
vibration.
23rd July (Hidden at ±365/2 on 22nd Jan) is a critically important Zodiac Point/Date as it is one
of the places that our Non-Monotheistic Gods hang out. So many cycles are God-based, either
anchored from, reected from, or to be relocated back to these points.
Hence Gann’s constant Biblical themes, quotes, The Magic Word. Gann’s Tunnel character
Edna+Kennelworth equals Hidden ‘I’ 22nd Jan, so now the reader can see why she marries,
and why she is such an important character Thru out the book. As Edna+Quinton she anchors
to 7th March and vibrates 454 days to 4th June /h16, marries Walter for a name change and
Edna+Kennelworth now anchors 22nd Jan (our Hidden “I”) vibrating 482 days to 19th May.

Did she have good vibration with Walter? Yes, but add 1 day (Esoteric Cycles 101 - where 2
Lovers become 1 - for 28th Nov and 7th May). Walter+Kennelworth 27th Nov +525 days to 6th May
/h16.
Was Robert compatible to Marie? Robert+Gordon 9th Apr (The+Magic+Word) add 410 days to
24th May /h16 but move the cycle -3 days (it is a Hero Theme thing) to 6th April + 410 (or 775d)
to 21st May /h16. A 12th Jan also likes a 410/h16 day cycle. Marie+Stanton 19th Dec add 526
days to 29th May/h16. Marie+Stanton 19th Dec to Robert+Gordon 9th April for 475 days, you can
see why Gann hid her here in The+Tunnel+Thru+The+Air 16th June, 16th Dec and 7th April. And
Robert+Gordon 9th April (-3) add 622days to Marie+Stanton 19th Dec is compatible – but we all
knew that. Robert+Gordon 9th April (-3) to The+Tunnel+Thru+The+Air 16th Dec (619days) and
7th April (732days).
Gann often corrected and rened the mathematics of esoteric parallel characters, the Robert/
Walter relationship is a good example – ROBERT 16th Aug (-3 for the Hero) to WALTER as 17th
June, but use 18th June because ‘Walter was one year older’ (cycle 309 or 674 days). Gann was
super accurate, no room for mistakes.
His mathematics and perfect understanding of Cycle Ratios, what Date vibrates to what
numbers, their following vibrating growth factors was way superior than we had previously
known.
But be aware he writes stories in code that contain some truths at their face value, but these
stories are just a means to carry his Words, Dates and Numbers. Moses didn’t really turn a Stick
into a Snake (Cycle).
Back to the rst line of
Tunnel ‘Happy is the Man’, because he ‘Walks with God’ he is Anchored on 25th April and travels
for 440 days to 9th July and divide by 16 equal parts (16th Harmonic). But in typical Gann style,
if you happily nd this wisdom and understanding you may see that Jesus Christ (the Jewelled
Crown) is still alive at this point, and a secondary lesson is learned when Jesus (that Other Hero)
‘Dies for our Sins’. Then additionally you can add 440+n*33 i.e., 440, 473, 506....

Frank C Higgins in his 1919 Book ‘Ancient Freemasonry’ claims Pythagoras received this symbol
from the Egyptians. A Freemason’s favourite project with the Forty-Seventh Problem of Euclid
and the ‘Eye of Horus’ within the Pythagorean Triangle.
For this to be true “SQRT((OSIRIS^2)+(ISIS^2)) = HORUS” we need the correct values for the

Hostage Harry?
Most would not care less about the current silly Media Drama around the Oprah Winfrey, Harry

Is he well trained in the esoteric arts becoming his Royal status and education, or is this just
a remarkable series of coincidences that resonate to the mass human behaviour that is the

So keep an ‘I’ on him because it is easy for U to C.
Dear Harry as the face of his “INVICTUS GAMES” Self-Apotheosis himself as “IAM” (God) on 24th

Divide this by 32 equal portions? Was this purposeful to improve his own personal vibration? A

Why not thro Harry further under the Esoteric Cycle Bus and reveal more of his esoteric

Harry’s “INVICTUS GAMES” has him as “IAM” pretending to be “God” for the good vibration,

ATOMIC ELEMENTS DEFINE MATHEMATICAL STRUCTURE OF MARKETS
This course provides the solution to the Law of Vibration, as Gann originally presented it
in his interview with Richard Wycko in The Ticker and Investment Digest, in 1909. The
author takes Gann’s exact words and correlates them with the cuing edge science of Gann’s
day to demonstrate what Gann meant when he said, “stocks are like atoms”. He develops a
system which identies the key “mathematical points of force” that govern the structure
behind the market.
The author builds a solid foundation in the Natural Sciences of Gann’s day, showing how

structure is determined for an individual market, a will be dened for
that market which determines its movement in price and time forever into the future.

Profiting from Market Symmetry via Pendulum Motion
By Alexander Straker
As legendary trader psychologist Mark Douglas would say, “If you can’t see the symmetry,
don’t take the trade”.
In this article we will be continuing the study of pendulum motion as it applies to technical
analysis, and in particular the concept of limits of rotation. All traders desire convenient
ways to seek out low risk set-ups and learning to identify limits of motion via symmetry is
one of the more powerful and reliable ways to help locate good reward for risk set-ups.
The fractal development of price action on a chart occurs in alternating sequences of
impulse or thrust (fairly straight-line price move) followed by retracement or rotation (price
correction that follows an arc), then this sequence repeats again, thrust & rotation, etc.
The geometric thrust and rotation shape of price movement is neatly revealed by the
harmonic pendulum motion chart template. The example below is a FTSE Index Monthly
chart. Note the impulse swings are quite straight from point to point. The retracement
swings tend to follow the geometric arcs.
This is why we commonly see the final wave in a retracement accelerate (violent C Wave) as
it is the geometric arc that is containing price action and dictating the rate of acceleration
until time is inevitably up and price MUST move through the arc, at which point it begins a
new thrust phase.

This sequence of thrust and rotation is in fact an illusion caused by our 2-dimensional
viewpoint of the spiralling nature of price movement, a 3-dimensioinal occurrence.
This movement would appear similar to the rifling action of a gun barrel if we could see it in
3D (if you imagine a ‘Z’ axis moving into the page, it can in fact be visualized in 3D by the
human brain). The spiral grooves of a gun barrel that cause the rifling action are designed
to induce a bullet to spin as it travels along the barrel, greatly improving the velocity and
range of the shot.
Because of our 2-dimensional view of the action, the price movement appears ‘straighter’ at
times and more ‘curved’ at other times depending on the position of price in relation to our
2-dimensional vantage point or perspective.
This creates geometrically measurable sequences of thrust vectors whose rate of rise over
run in magnitude and direction represent velocity. In order to arrive at the answer to scaling
the chart correctly, our question should be… what exactly does the velocity of price
represent?
In other words, price is what we see on the chart, but is there a parallel phenomenon in
nature that we can relate price to, and that travels at a specific velocity in relation to time?
This question is answered in Book 2 of the Universal Golden Keys Series: Golden Speed:
Harmony of the Square. The answer leads us to a major breakthrough in understanding
scaling and the true relationship of price versus time.
Once a universal ’connection’ between price and time has been established, each impulse of
‘thrust’ price movement can be scaled correctly to reveal accurate geometric symmetry of
the price action spiral as it forms. This price-time ‘connection’ or market key unlocks the
geometric perfection inherent in the 2-dimensional representation of the spiralling price
action, by bringing the price action on our chart into natural alignment with a particular
form of wave motion (explained further in my books).
This price-time relationship is derived from a number of simple facts of science, strongly
suggesting a direct correlation between a particular phenomenon of nature and price
action. In my view, the phenomenon of nature we are dealing with is largely the source of
causation of market movement.
As this causation is a type of wave form, so is the resulting price action, though multiple
wave forms can overlap and usually these are harmonically related waves by frequency.
Again, the harmonic relationships tend to be whole number ratios. The key ratios are given
to us by the ancient language of music and are expressed in simple whole numbers such as
1:2, 2:3, 3:4, etc.
The symmetry of wave form is ever present in the market. It is essentially the accurate
measurement from peak to node to trough or vice versa that allows us as traders to profit
from this symmetry. However, if we are seeing the 3-dimensional spiral from a ‘skewed’
vantage point (in other words we are applying a random and poor price-time scale for
geometric use), then we are unable to locate this symmetry as it remains hidden by the

poor vantage point. Scaling solves this issue by giving us a symmetrical vantage point from
which to view the action.
The following example is one way of beginning to visualize price as travelling in a 3-D plane.
As Gann told us, there is more than one solution to finding a useful scale. There is, in my
view, one universal starting point, and that is the characteristics and dimensions of a circle.
In Gann’s case, to plot the spiralling (3-dimensional circular or planetary motion)
successfully on the chart, he had a particular way of using the scale to ‘square’ the chart. I
contend this was the most practical solution of Gann’s day due to the fact hand charting was
done on squared graph paper and there were no computers to do ongoing complex
numerical calculations. So, as a consequence, a universal ratio-based system was ideal for
mapping it out.
Gann knew the market vibrated in related frequencies and the ratios between the
frequencies of highs and lows in the market corresponded to the common ratios of perfect
harmony in music. The most important of these frequency ratios are the Tonic, Mediant,
and Dominant, also known as the first, third and fifth.
Gann angles apply simple whole number ratios of a square to the 2-dimensional view, and
providing this has been scaled to our key, the angle ratios will define symmetrical limits of
rotation occurring on either side of a 1x1 ratio or master angle.
Even on smaller time frames the limits of rotation are universally accurate the majority of
the time (please see the DAX example below). Symmetry occurs where, for example, a
vector ends on a 4x1 angle and the subsequent retracement squares out at the 1x4 angle
(symmetrically opposite to the 4x1 angle) .
The repeated symmetrical limits of rotation are very clearly defined by the scaled angles.
This is a consistent and worthwhile edge to be aware of in the market. There are other
ways to plot ‘custom’ symmetrical angles using degrees of a circle, and these can have some
advantages over ratio based ones.

A full explanation of these methods can be found in Book 1 of the Universal Golden Keys
series: Pendulum Motion: The Harmony of the Circle.
The harmonic structure of almost all Western music is based around the three frequencies
Tonic, Dominant and Mediant, with the Sub-Dominant also being very prominent. A typical
formula for harmonic structure pleasing to the ear is to begin with the Tonic or Chord I
(Tonic meaning at rest, refreshed and healed), then progress harmonically through various
chords until reaching a culmination at the Dominant or Chord V (Dominant meaning having
strength & influence over the Tonic).
Chord V strongly leads back to the Tonic meaning the ear wants to hear the Tonic again at
this point in the harmony. This is to resolve the final musical phrase with a pleasing sound
arriving back at rest again.
Extremely common and pleasing to the ear is a Chord IV-V-I progression, and this neatly
closes off the song harmonically for our ear, resolving at Chord I, the Tonic. The interesting
thing about this is that it perfectly represents the “as above – so below” principle at work in
music (or action – reaction – neutral, or IV-V-I, or Sub-dominant – Dominant - Tonic).
In terms of proportion, the Sub-dominant is of equal distance from the Tonic on the
opposite side to the Dominant (As above – so below). Depending on how you position the
notes, the Sub-dominant is 2 whole-steps and a half-step above the Tonic, and the
Dominant is exactly the same below, OR; the Sub-dominant is 3 whole steps and a half step
below the Tonic and the Dominant is exactly the same above the Tonic.
Symmetrical musical motion! To gain a sense of this musically is to arrive at an appreciation
of the natural symmetry of the sound at work, and how it pleasingly ‘closes off’ the
harmonic phrase bringing the music to a natural end point (limit of motion) both when it
peaks at the Dominant (Chord V), and again when it rests at the Tonic (Chord I).

Each time the harmony changes, the music is essentially expressing a new harmonic ratio
relevant to the key. Consider now the parallels between this musical sequence just
described, and the basic Elliott Wave set.
Music
• Typical harmonic structure works its way from the Tonic to Dominant (Chord I to
Chord V)
• Chord V (Dominant) has the most strength/influence and is a natural ‘limit’ of the
harmony, wanting to resolve back to Chord I Tonic.
• A natural peak in the harmonic structure occurs at the Dominant (Chord V).
• A common ending harmonic sequence is: Chord IV (Sub-Dominant), Chord V
(Dominant) then Chord I (Tonic).
• In ratio and actual mathematical proportion, Sob-dominant and Dominant are
equidistant from the Tonic, representing ‘as above – so below’ or ‘action – reaction -
neutral’
Elliot Wave
• Impulse works its way from Wave I to Wave 5.
• Wave 5 is a natural limit of the impulse fractal sequences, and this could be thought
of as the Dominant fractal.
• A natural peak in price action occurs in price action at Wave 5.
• A scaled chart will reveal in most cases following an impulse 5 Wave set (Action), we
observe a symmetrical retracement (Reaction), then Price will most often return to
the 1x1 master angle (Neutral).
The Action – Reaction – Neutral sequence is the same as a wave form expressing a Trough –
Peak – Node sequence, and once again the distance of the peak and trough around the node
must be symmetrical, a simple natural characteristic of wave form. This is also the reason
Median Lines are effective geometric tools as the Median Line effectively captures the Node
of the wave form being examined by the median line set.
Here are a few further examples of the limits of Pendulum Motion. Notice in this next
GBPUSD example how price overshoots the 2x1, and then the symmetrical 1x2 angles by the
same amount.

Finally, an example using angles created from circular degrees. This requires a different type
of scale as taught in the books. As always, the point of the exercise is that we observe the
natural symmetry of market’s fractal development. Practice and application of genuine
scaled geometric techniques is an ideal and convenient way to consistently locate the limits
of motion of price action, and well worthy of our study!
Any technique that improves our reward for risk ratios and therefore profitability should be
given the highest priority, and scaled angles demonstrating the limits of motion is most
certainly one such technique.
Finally, as an example of the level of effectiveness in trading that these Pendulum Motion
techniques can produce, I will share the results of 1 week of trading accomplished recently
while training my trading staff.
I acknowledge that I was in the zone and do not hit these kinds of numbers regularly, as I
usually trade longer term stocks which pay dividends for my clients. This intraday trading, I
do to test the potentials of these trading tools, and it took extra work and less sleep (due to
living down-under) to accomplish. However, these results beat those of the great W. D.

forward analytical techniques explained in Gann’s How to
Make Profits in Commodities to identify high value trade
setups which can be employed using highly leveraged
options strategies to generate large but safe returns.
The analytical techniques and strategy do not require any
prior Gann knowledge or any past trading experience. They
can be easily applied by any trader, new or seasoned, to great
effect with very little time or difficulty. The strategy is based
upon “leveraged position trading” so requires little time or
effort to manage. Minimum capital requirements are very
low, so someone with an account as small as a few $1000
can effectively implement this strategy.

Good sleep is Important for your trading success. A good night sleep is very important for
both your health and your success as a trader. It is as important as eating health foods and
exercising. Here is the reasoning behind good sleep and why it is so crucial.
1. Poor sleep is linked to gaining weight. Sitting in a trading chair and day trading all day and
being over weight is uncomfortable. If you are uncomfortable you won’t trade with success.
2. Good sleep will improve your concentration and your productivity in your trading. Sleep
is important to brain function which includes cognition, productivity, concentration and
performance. Sleep deprivation will negatively aect these. Traders who get at least 8 hours of
sleep will generally not make the serious trading errors that one that is sleep deprived does. One
study found that deprived sleep can negatively impact aspects of the brain function similarly to
alcohol intoxication. Good sleep is shown to improve problem solving skills and enhance trading
performance.

3. Poor sleep can give you heart problems and even a stroke. Lack of sleep can aect your
health subjecting you to many chronic diseases. There have been many studies that found that if
you don’t get at least 8 hours of sleep to are setting yourself up for a health disaster.
4. Sleep aects your type 2 diabetes risk which aects blood sugar and aects insulin sensitivity.
5. Poor sleep is a direct link to depression. 90% of sleep deprived people are also depressed.
Depressed traders usually are poor traders.
6. Sleep improves your immune function helping you avoid diseases which will eventually ruin
your trading success.
7. Sleep aects your emotions negatively which will end up eventally in a trading disaster.
Sleep Blockers may be aecting your sleep ability. They are a group of 3 hormones that get
released in your body generally in response to everyday stresses. They block your body’s ability
to relax and fall asleep. They put your body on high alert causing your body’s mind to race
making it impossible for you to go to sleep. It is possible to stop sleep blockers and then you can
get a good night sleep.
There is a solution that stops sleep blockers by just by ipping a switch in the brain. Through
scientic research there is a sleep switch product that uses natural ingredients that turns o the
sleep blockers allowing you to fall asleep and stay asleep giving you a restorative deep sleep you
need for trading. The product is called Exhale PM which allows people to fall asleep easier and
stay asleep through the night without consistently waking up. For more information click here.
If you are a trader and is having sleep problems
you need to try Exhale PM. You risk nothiing by
trying it.
Yet the deep, restorative, peaceful sleep you've been
craving could be moments away. And that your ability to
fall asleep and stay asleep will only get better over time.
The bottom line is that the longer you use Exhale PM, the
better your story could be.

As traders most of our day is sitting
down and not moving. We are
constantly exposed to great stress
almost like a air trac controller. We
need to perform at the highest level

Sitting is not good for us. Researchers

long periods were more likely to die
from health problems.
Research showed nearly 20%
of people sitting all day have
an increased risk of dying if
cardiovascular disease that involves the heart and blood

There is a 20% increased risk of getting cancer and dying
from that. Sitting can also cause obesity, earlier death,
muscular issue and even depression. Get a standing
desk, it is better for your health. There are now many
brands available. Also you might consider getting an egro
chair. With a good chair you can maintain good posture
for a long period of time.
However, you really need to have a balanced lifestyle. You
need to exercise more than 30 minutes a day since you
are sedentary for 23 ½ hours a day. Consider walking to
get your exercise. I would recommend at least 7,000 to
10,000 steps per day. Also do some weight lifting to build

The Timing Solutions module allows you to calculate fast and very easy the most important
cycles of a market. It is very easily to use the program. After downloading the price chart you
turn the cycle options on you want and watch for all these cycles come together with the price
chart.
In this example I have clicked on three options:
1) The annual cycle (blue line) which is based on all available price history day. For example,
if you have downloaded 20 years of price history, the program uses all that price history to
calculate the annual cycle.
2) The fast annual cycle (red line) that is based on the last three years of price history data.
3) The annual decimal cycle (green line) shows a patterned annual cycle based on dierent
patterns. The decimal pattern is what some researchers claim that the market repeats itself
every 10 years. For example, to calculate the annual cycle for 2021 use these years 2011, 2001,
1991, 1981 and so on. I have noticed when all three cycle lines (blue, red and green) go in the
same direction along with the green and red arrows at the bottom of the chart, the probability of
price movement is even higher. Notice the S&P chart below. This is just a small fraction of what
this software program can do.

DeLorean TIME Trend Almanac
Dow Jones
Rick Versteeg
In previous article we wrote: Using our DeLorean indicator, we forecasted since beginning 2020 that Trump would
win Presidential elections and that a crisis would unfold after November 3rd. Well, it was correct, Trump had a
landslide win in the morning of the 4th, but suddenly counting
was stopped in 7 states and magically they kept on finding many
votes for Biden and few for Trump, which took ages, but in the
end Biden was ahead. However, he won only 16% of all counties
and 80(?) million votes, much , much more then Obama. When
writing this article there is tons of evidence of massive fraud and
still it could well be the case that Biden will win. Because
democrat states do not want to investigate the ballots in full
and judges as well as supreme court deny mostly of the evidence
and fraud. Did you not know about the fraud? No surprise since
Big media does not cover anything about fraud and evidence whatsoever. Nevertheless Trump can become the next
president, since on January 6th our indicator is deep RED, right on time with the day that Congress will convene about
choosing the president. Let’s see how this will play out.
Great Reset
First of all, I am not in favor of any political party, but in favor of the people who should decide, freedom and
integrity. Which in my opinion society and government should reflect. So not against Democrats, since so many of
them really try to build a better world.
Well, January the 6th was red and events did unfold accordingly. The big event was the so called insurrection and
storming of the Capitol as pretended by the Democrats in Congress and senate supported by the big media.
Actually, police were escorting Antifa members, brought with special vans, into the capitol where magically the
doors opened and just a few security officers welcomed the people to enter the building. The Capitol was not
protected at all. January 6th, Republicans still had the power to order an investigation into the results of the election,
but only around 12 Republican senators did not certify the election results and 40 did go along with the Democrats
together with vice president Pence.
Consequently the Coup was successful and it were the Democrats
who had planned an insurrection to gain full power.
Clearly there was no insurrection and the “Capitol breach” was
staged to blame Trumps patriots, just like in 1933 when the Nazis
set fire to the Reichstag themselves, blaming the communists.
Thereafter the Nazis purged opponents, “won” elections,
confiscated all weapons and Hitler ruled the next decade using
executive orders. History in short, repeated now.
Just like the Presidents election, election of the last 2 senate
seats on January 5th were “won” by Democrats in another blatant
fraud in Georgia. Republicans were winning but they just injected
100.000 or as much votes in minutes as necessary to make sure
that both Democrats came ahead, not even trying to hide.
The result now is that Democrats have a majority in congress now
as well as in the senate with the help of Kamela Harris, who’s
vote decides when the outcome is 50-50.
In addition Biden has become a dictator using his executive
orders. Now Trump is out of the way, Democrats are pushing -
with incredible speed - new legislation (prepared years in
advance) and budgets through Congress and senate to make sure
that they stay in power (abolishing 1st and 2nd amendment, purge of Republicans and patriots) as well as trying to
end democracy (Act for the people HR1, which legalizes all election fraud and violation of constitution as well as

taking elections out of the hands of the states to the federal government) . Republicans are awake now but it is too
late, unless state legislators will take back control and governance of their states.
In short the reset is on its way as the title of the previous article did say and we have entered a revolutionary period,
which will give problems of unimaginable proportions and usually ends with blood in the streets.

Time Trend Almanac
Forecasting the trend of indices using DeLorean indicator
Since we calculate DeLorean indicator way forward in the future, we can generate an almanac of future events with
regard to the stock indices, in particular the Dow or SPX.
Trading system for active traders, no over weekend trading:
BEGINNING of month March 2021 the almanac of future events looked as follows:
The month of March is about to begin, so the DeLorean indicator is available with all its changes, but prices of SPX
future we do not know yet. On average SPX will follow directions of DeLorean indicator! Therefore SPX will decline
where the BLACK line of indicator declines. SPX will rise if indicator rises. In addition SPX will rise when indicator
black line goes > 0 and SPX will decline when indicator goes < 0.
VERY IMPORTANT are the vertical lines in the chart on top. Clearly we have inserted these lines where we expect SPX
prices to rise (any green or light green line) or decline (any red or magenta line).
These lines are inserted either at top/ bottom or when >0 or <0. Black vertical lines are skipped.
Consequently traders should be ready for a potential long after a green line and short after a red/magenta line.
Thus the lines in the chart depict the entries in our Time Almanac – with exact date and time of expected trend-
when we put these in a table. Please contact us if you like to see all entries in detail.
THE END of March shows all trades that have been executed according to forecasted directions with simple entry
criteria. TRADING 1 FUTURE LONG OR SHORT.

Profit 13k with 1 future es, 80% HITRATIO and 5.5 win/loss.
Entry conditions:
LONG: indicator rising again from bottom or breaking 0 up.
AND price ES/SPX price above green line AND wave 12 up from bottom developing OR breaking a price high up.
SHORT: indicator declining again from top or breaking 0 down.
AND price ES below green line AND wave 12 down from bottom developing OR breaking a Price low down.
Exit conditions:
initial stop 20-25 points, max stop 25 points, on acceleration penetration of the green line (EMA 15min)
Of course you can tailor make the trading system to your preferences. Remember to give the trade some space in
the beginning, otherwise you will be stopped out time and again. Traders who have a stop of 5 points or so, will
never make money and only catch noise.
What you do using the entry rules is to wait until the fish come to that point in time, which is found with DeLorean
radar, where direction will change and you will be ready to catch them using your entry net. Without DeLorean (or
any other advantage) you would not know when and where to throw your net, which would make it a gamblers
game.
Inspecting the trades in more detail
Obviously, the entry and exit rules will not work profitably without the DeLorean indicator. You need an edge, a
higher probability to make money. Most traders and investors say it is impossible to know the future. Why? Because
they do not know themselves how and therefore neither anyone else.
If there is no advantage to be found why trading then? It is even worse than playing the roulette in the casino, where
losses with each turn are limited, not so in trading.

This picture shows in more detail that green lines are either placed at the point where the black line breaks 0 up-
wards, so you can trade long only. Or the green line is placed at the bottom where the indicator starts to get stronger
again. For shorts it is the other way round, below zero and the indicator getting weaker.
When the indicator stays more or less around zero or does not rise up strongly for a long trade, or vice versa for a
short, it is called flat and neutral.
If you have questions, just send a mail.
The results from May 2020 until end of March was in line with above. See the chart below. Best way is to be selec-
tive because firstly you need some sleep and still enough interesting trades to profit from. You will have to practice
the Wave 12 as a confirmation and make sure to get ready in time, but skip the night. What makes it a bit more diffi-
cult that You cannot trade it fully automatically. Also hectic markets are more difficult.

Results same Time Trend trading during crash of 2020
In line with the last month March 2020, although the result was higher from beginning December 2019 due to large
price movements.
Discovery of precise timing large trends
While the DeLorean indicator as well as the DeLorean Outlook 2020 and 2021 both did recognize uncertain times,
difficult economic conditions and extreme US elections, it did not coincide with declining markets, which is excep-
tional. We all know that sometimes very large price movements seemingly come out of the blue. This time the blue
wave was up. So, in spite of the fact that markets mostly move in line with movement of indicators, something was
missing in between the daily indicator and long term indicator with regard to movements of markets.
If the daily trend of markets can be forecasted on a daily basis long before it happens, surely the same must be true
for the big trends.
Necessarily I had to restudy our information to find the missing link.
And there it was when we were using time patterns of the Dow Jones as well. Logically time patterns (a sort of time
cycle but much more complex) are everywhere, in our life, society, economy, markets, the US dollar, the Dow and so
on.
When taking into account sensitive TIME points of the Dow, suddenly all large corrections were connected and more
or less explained. Beginning with the correction that took place in 2020, the same parallels found in 2008, 1987 and
the years from 1931 and more.
Also bull markets showed up with positive sensitive points (next to and together with to our Long term DeLorean,
but together more precise).

To have some fun we will start experimenting with a
forecast for coming April, which shows some similarity
to 1987, so a quick and still large correction. It should
reach a crescendo from 20 to 27th of April. Mostly, in
all trends, there are 3 waves with the 3rd wave the
strongest and some aftershocks.
Long term view on market
Markets need a correction. Price patterns already
indicate that markets are struggling and might be
building there last wave up in a 5th wave. A decline of
SPX / Dow with 15-20% is in the cards as it seems.

Back in April 2020 - a year ago we discovered an active cycle that alerted us to a forthcoming
major move in grain markets.
We forewarned our followers and they were prepared.
Let me explain.
One of the challenges with identifying macro commodity cycles is nding enough long term data
to be able to make an accurate and statistically signicant analysis.
In the perfect world it would be useful to have at latest 10 repetitions of any cycle that we wish
to examine.
So if you are a looking at a yearly cycle you would want to examine 10 years of data.
The validity check of a thirty year cycle needs a 300 year sample.
Very few organisations have such long term data.
The 501c3 non-prot organization, The Foundation for the Study of Cycles is one. (www.cycles.
org).
The legendary W D Gann also shows data sets in his “Bible”, How to Make Prots in Commodities
(www.wdgann.com).
Gann also kept a note of wheat prices all the way back to the year 1259. He is alleged to have
travelled to England and derived this information from his studies at the British Museum.
Again this chart is invaluable and available from (www.wdgann.com) as part of their
Commodities course. It behoves serious commodity traders to study such information.
Why?
An understanding of this information can aord a once in a lifetime opportunity to identify
a forthcoming megatrend. Once that trend becomes active, it is dicult to risk manage.
Professional money usually fuels it.

Often times, as in the 1970s wheat bull market, these events are “created” by alleged “Black
Swan” events, such as sudden Russian intervention in this case.
As a student of cycles, I would say that there is no such thing as a Black Swan event. Such
occurrences are cycles that others have been completely missed or are so long that they are
dicult to identify due to their vast length and eccentricity.
In other words, there are not enough data sets to validate their existence.
Two such cycles are the 49 year and 50 year repetitions.
The 50 year cycle validates very clearly in markets.
In terms of the stock markets, 1857 saw global nancial panic. This focused around America and
also Europe leading to the closure of over 50% of US banks.
Adding 50 years to 1857 takes us to 1907 when America saw “The Knickerbocker Crisis.” This
was also known as the Rich Man’s Panic.
Fifty years later, in 1957 the Dow Jones Industrial Average made a signicant top.
Adding 50 years to 1957 takes us all the way to 2007 and the entire world was wrapped up in
the Global Financial Crisis.
The story doesn’t stop there.
Heading back 50 years from 1857 takes us to the year 1807 and the American economy is
devastated by the consequences of the Embargo Act. This was targeted intervention during the
Napoleonic Wars.
Study of the novel, “Tunnel Thru the Air” by Gann shows the Jubilee cycle. This is a cycle of 7×7
which is 49 years. This is signicant in Judaism. Debts are forgiven.
My research has shown that commodities tend to operate to this cycle.
Take a look at this chart of wheat.
The 49 year cycle is playing out perfectly - high to high and low to low.
As we examined this closer last year and also looked at some super long term cycles from
Gann’s chart dating back to the year 1259, it became evident that we were on the verge of
something very big. So we deployed our system.

We ne tune these cycles using a series of proprietary cycle techniques.
These allow us to identify turning points in dierent time windows.

Under this chart are a series of histograms.
These histograms are predictive. In other words they are known in advance.
Where we see a forthcoming spike, we know that we can expect a change in trend.
Where we see these spikes on monthly charts we know that a signicant reversal is likely.
We use a series of charts. Ultimately this is all ne-tuned on daily charts.
Here is a daily chart of wheat in which we are running a double histogram set.
When we get a monthly cycle coinciding with a weekly and a daily cycle spike, we know we are
not only likely to see a signicant reversal, but we are often able to time it to the day.
As we teach in our trading courses, we want to safeguard our positions as we approach these
potential timing points. We do this by taking prots, or tightening stops or ne tuning our
hedging.
This gives us a distinct advantage.

We also have strategies for entering trades at these turning points by using tight risk
management.
This is the methodology that enabled us to identify the June 2020 low.
We have a clear future point which could well identify the end of the wheat trend. It is already
showing as very strong.
Here are the turns that our followers have known in advance and have been able to benet from.
In this chart we are only showing the monthly and weekly turn points.
The monthly turn points are identied by the blue lines.
The weekly turn points are shown with the green and red arrows.

We show two lines.
The blue line shows the regular season path of wheat.
The yellow line is our more dynamic seasonality using a proprietary formula.
Both patterns show lows at the end of June/beginning of July. See red arrows.
Now look at the preceding chart.
You will note that we had a weekly time cycle for that very same time window.
This meant we could expect a reversal.
The market was heading down and so we were looking for a low.
Seasonality was also telling us to look for a low.

I wanted to share with you and your team the success that I’ve been having since
implementing your system and your Market Timing Report.
I’m very thrilled to share that over two days, I paid for your entire course and one
years subscription through commodities trading and following the system. It was
huge !
However, it doesn’t end there. Through your risk mitigation strategies, I was able to
protect myself when the market turned a few months later. It was a game changer
that previously would’ve sunk me.
I highly recommend your course, your system and your market trading reports to those who
are serious about taking control of their nancial success.

pre recorded educational content from various trading
and investing experts. The platform is designed to help
solve the problems that today’s traders face.
This platform is quite nice, offering traders access to many more powerful analysis tools that are
not available anywhere else. Up to now traders would have to buy access to several platforms to
get the tools they need to be successful, but WealthCharts brings together the latest trading
tools necessary to help traders make informed decisions. All of these benefits are available with
an affordable monthly or annual membership.
WealthCharts brings together advanced features in an browser based platform, providing the
right tools with easy to use charts and algorithmic features. Users can access WealthCharts with
a PC or Mac or iOS/Android mobile devices.
WealthCharts gives traders an easy to see analysis of the market with the best data resources.
This provides a strong understanding of tools that can make a real difference in trading
success. Because WealthCharts offers a great variety of everything traders need, users have
reported that they have canceled several other memberships and consolidated with just one
platform. It is no longer necessary to hop between multiple platforms to get the same results
which reduces the time spent researching trade ideas.
Using the automated WealthFinder tools allow users to fire up WealthCharts and instantly see
many trading opportunities to review.

The Option Hunter activity scanner is also included for options traders. It rapidly identifies very
unusual option activity that traders need to be aware of to be successful. It also includes several
proprietary and advanced algorithmic scans and filters to make finding high probability trade
ideas much easier.
The features that standout in WealthCharts are:
1. The Option Hunter that gives you full access to institutional and unusual option
activity so you can identify potentially profitable option trades. This activity often precedes
a move in the underlying stock and thus is an important source of information, even for
non-options traders.
2. Options Mapper - An at-a-glance, ranked sorting of the symbols which have triggered
the greatest number of options activity signals, keeping you informed of where the
noteworthy money flows are taking place in the market. Even traders who don’t trade
options take advantage of this unique perspective on where the opportunities are in the
market and where the smart money is moving into or away from right now!
3. Algo Hunter which allows you to plug in the types of instruments you trade such as stocks,
options, futures, ETFs, or cryptocurrencies with your preferred trading time frame allowing the
advanced algorithm to find the best rated trading opportunities that meet your criteria, saving
you a bunch of time.
4. Portfolio Analyzer tracks your existing positions and, based on the platform's best
performing scanners, provides projected price action for multiple timeframes to better prepare
you for the market moves that will have a big impact on your positions.
5. WealthCharts Research Team provides you with trade ideas generated from the
internal WealthCharts analysts as they review options activity to find the most interesting
trading signals.
6. Multiple Scanners which use algorithmic trading intelligence to identify high probability
trade ideas. In addition to popular scanners like the Ichimoku Cloud scanner that they have
taken to a whole new level, WealthCharts also features a number of proprietary scanners
like the Wealth Strength Index (WSI) and WealthFinder, which provides actionable research
to quickly identify higher probability trade ideas. Most recent additions include the STARC
Bands scanner and a Weekly Reversal scanner with numerous others being developed as of
the writing of this review.
7. Pre-Market Live Stream Prep offers an extensive pre-market review to help give you
insight into daily market events to understand and prepare for them. Led by very popular live
market educators, it covers day, swing, and position trading along with reviews of world
markets and several of the most popular asset classes.
8. Brokerage Integrations allows you to access live data and then easily execute
trades through one of the several domestic and international brokers that WealthCharts
supports, allowing users to trade stocks, options, ETFs, futures, FOREX, and
cryptocurrencies right from the WealthCharts platform.
9. The Best Technical Tools integrated directly into the platform, thanks to extensive
partnerships with top traders from around the world. In addition to the extensive library
of more than 160+ indicators and technical scanners currently available to Founder
members, new indicators are constantly being developed and added to the WealthCharts
platform.

Hello
My name is Robert Giordano and my approach to trading is simple, it’s simi-
lar to that of professional gamblers as professionals understand, trading
must be understood just as a pro gambler knows his chosen game.
Over the years I found many pro traders had the uncanny ability to know
how and when to place trades that would raise prots while at the same
time lower the house odds down to an almost even keel. Each did this by
mastering several single systems or ideologies found by trial and error re-
search and applying each at the correct time. This odd stacking concept
gave many the much needed edge to stay alive and actually prot from
over the years.
So in a nutshell “Professional Traders” are professionals because they know
how and when to stack the technical odds rst, before placing a trade.
You too must learn to stack the technical odds rst, or like all forms of gam-
bling the casino will always win in the end.

Dominant Cycles in Investment
Managers'
Exposure to U.S. Equity Markets
Indicate Impending Turnaround
By Lars von Thienen, www.whentotrade.com
The importance of analyzing sentiment cycles of active money managers plays a critical role
in assessing nancial risk. Dominant cycles in the National Association of Active Investment
Managers Exposure Index have been identied with high correlation over the past 15 years. The
current state of the dominant cycles indicates a possible reversal for U.S. equity markets.
Back in 1949, investing legend Benjamin Graham eloquently characterized the cyclical nature of
nancial markets in his book “The Intelligent Investor”:
“The market is a pendulum that forever swings between unsustainable optimism and unjustied
pessimism.”
Today, the emerging eld of social media sentiment datasets support Graham’s point of view,
providing a strong empirical foundation for the overreaction bias that is often the driving factor
in cyclical markets.
Normally, social mood waxes and wanes positively and negatively. Thus, sentiment waxes
and wanes in the form of dynamic cycles. Mood refers to a feeling, emotion, or attitude
about something, and, of course, it can have a range of values. Whenever mood is related to
corporations or the economy, the character of events will unfold in the related nancial assets.
Fear and despondency represent one extreme, while thrill and euphoria represents the other end
of the spectrum.
Cycles are the important structure because sentiment does not jump rapidly from one state to
another.

Chart 1: Market cycle that forever swings between bullish and bearish extremes
A change of mood requires time; therefore, sentiment moves in dynamic cycles or waves.
Therefore, the challenge is to spot and predict the extreme turning points shown in Chart
1, as observed at market tops (“Maximum Financial Risk” - Euphoria) and at markets lows
(“Maximum Financial Opportunity” - Panic).
The fascinating aspects of market cyclicality is that the active investor badly underperforms
across the board because he or she is prone to chasing performance near market tops and
panicking near market bottoms. Identifying the behavioral patterns of investment managers,
using cycle analysis techniques, can therefore provide clues to focal points of “euphoria” or
“panic”.
Consequently, if you have data sets that provide raw “mood” information related to nancial
assets on the one hand, and on the other hand have cyclic tools that can decipher and track
dominant cycles, we are able to provide supporting market analysis to adjust your active
investment risk.
Against this background, a cycle analysis of the NAAIM Exposure Index was performed. The
NAAIM Exposure Index represents the average exposure of active investment managers to the
U.S. equity markets. A value above 100 indicates leveraged long positions. The raw data of
this publicly available index is not predictive in nature. However, the exposure index provides
insights into the actual risk management of investment managers. In the case that cycles are
found in that data set, it will allow a prediction of future exposure and risk management eorts
of that group.

Chart 2: Spectrum analysis of the NAAIM exposure index revealed two peaks at 73 and 184
weeks
The spectrum answers the question “How much of the data is at a cycle length x?”. As we use
a weekly dataseries, the peeks indicate cycles with a length of x-weeks. A cyclic data series
consists of more than just one cycle. The amplitude represents the most important cycles which
can bee seen on the y-axis. The colored triangles show an additional verication in regards how
reliable a given cycle length is. From “red” = not trusted to green = very strong. This is called
the Bartels Score which acts as second measurement in addition to the spectral analysis. The
spectrum clearly shows two peaks with green triangles at 73 weeks and 184 weeks.
Once we have derived dominant cycles, we can use the information about cycle length, phase
and amplitude to plot a superposition wave. Both cycles were added to a superposition wave,
which simply combines both cycles in terms of their phase, amplitude, and length into one
combined wave (Chart 3).
The superposition wave is the purple indicator overlay at the bottom of the chart. While the dark
blue line at the bottom area is the raw NAAIM exposure index.

Chart 3: Superposition Composite Cycle (73w + 184w) in the NAAIM Exposure Index,
S&P500 Index, Data as of Feb. 2021
Our performed cycle analysis for the entire NAAIM dataset revealed two dominant cycles
combined into one superposition wave.
The composite cycle shown is signicant because >90% turning points from the exposure index
composite cycle correlate with important market reversals.
The composite cycle indicated:
• the 2007-2009 17-month bear market during the nancial crisis,
• the 2009 market low,
• the short-lived bear market between May and October 2011, which was indicated by the
high of the sentiment cycle just before Black Monday on Aug. 8, 2011, when the U.S. was
downgraded,
• the 2014-2015 period began with an indicated sentiment cycle top and resulted in a
sideways moving market,
• the 2016 sentiment cycle low, which indicated the start of a truly remarkable year for
nancial markets,
• predicting the end of the boom in early 2018, with 2018 being a worse year for nancial
assets. Since January 2, 2018, the S&P has fallen 8% until year end,
• pointing to the start of the next market upswing beginning in early 2019, indicated by the

low of the composite cycle. With a gain of
+60% to date since the indicated December
2018 composite cycle low.
Now, at early March 2021, we have reached
the next projected composite cycle high for the
NAAIM Exposure Index.
Based on the dominant cycle composite
analysis of investment managers exposure to
the U.S. equity markets shown, the current
cycle top and past correlations suggest a trend
reversal in US equity markets is imminent.
The shown analysis can be done with our cycle
analysis toolbox provided at whentotrade right

You have surely heard “the trend is your friend” many times over your trading life. While that
may be true, markets only trend about 30% of the time and are thus in consolidation mode 70%
of the time. So, the trend is your friend 30% of the time—what do you do about the other 70%?
I have found, in my 40+ years of trading and investing, that two types of horizontal lines far
out-perform the simple trend following adage. Long ago I started calling my lines and indicators
“attractors.” By choosing the word attractor, I not only include support and resistance, but the
additional mean reversion indicators like moving averages and my SunnyBands and my Dynamic
Moving Average (DMA). Further, I nd that parallel channel lines work very well also. The trick is
to blur your eyes and see “what is true.” When I’m doing that, I rst look at the left of the chart,
not the right. I am looking for congurations that have appeared in the past and might likely
inuence what is going on at the right side of the chart.
Let me start with some pictures. The rst gure is a chart with no attractors on it, just raw data.
See Figure 1.
FIGURE 1—Continuous contract of the eMini S&P 500, no lines
Take a look at Figure 1. Take a pen or pencil and mark on the chart what you see. I call this
asking “what is true?” You might mark the trends, you might mark the consolidation periods, we
each see something different when we look at a chart. As for me, I look for areas where price has
stalled, either on the way up or on the way down. In the next figure I’ll show you the horizontal
lines (attractors) I spotted. In three cases I dropped a horizontal line at a prominent peak. For
the fourth line, on the far right of the chart, I dropped the line where price had made sort of a

a true attraction, where price is stalling on the way up and again on the way down. I call this
situation “conuence.”
FIGURE 2—Attractors at turning points and stalls in the price movement
On the next chart I’ll show you one of my favorite tools, Fibonacci retracement lines.
Although earlier discovered by Indian mathematicians, we attribute the Fibonacci sequence to
Leonardo de Pisa aka Leonardo Bonacci and thus Fibonacci (the son of Bonacci). The well-known
sequence is seeded with the values 1 and 1 and subsequent numbers are then constructed by
adding together the previous two to form the next. For instance, 1 + 1 = 2 and 1 + 2 = 3 and 2
+ 3 = 5, resulting in the sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 … Of particular interest to traders are the ratios
of adjacent numbers in the sequence. As one progresses in the sequence, the ratios converge
upon 0.618 as can be seen in Table 1.

If, instead of dividing adjacent numbers, we skip one and divide the rst by the third and the
second by the fourth, etc, we converge on the ratio 0.382. Taken together these two values form
the basis of the Fibonacci retracement and extension lines we have available in most trading
software packages. In Figure 3 I’ve dropped the Fibonacci lines on the chart, rather than draw
horizontal lines. For this example, I chose the Covid Crash of 2020 for the high and low values.
FIGURE 3—Fibonacci Retracement & Extension
Notice how often price “stumbles” when approaching and testing the Fibonacci lines. I call
these lines attractors also. Price tends to make runs for the ratio levels and hesitate, pull back
and then make its way on forward as it approaches each of the attractors. In my own trading
I rely heavily on the Fibonacci lines, especially the 38.2% and 61.8% lines. In Figure 3 we
see that price made a plateau the week of January 10, 2021 right at the 138.2% line, at a
price of 3,833.40. The market neither moved up nor down that week, but stalled right at the
Fibonacci line and then fell back to the 123.60% line. It’s more than remarkable; it’s
prescient.
Another type horizontal line that is useful can be placed on an intraday chart to highlight the
day’s opening, high and low. I call this quite simply “Day Open-Hi-Low.” The intraday low is a
red line, the high is a green line and the open is a blue line. These are shown in Figure 4.

FIGURE 4—Open, High and Low Lines
Again, we see that the lines act a attractors with price touching the blue line (which denotes the
day’s opening price) at about 1:30am on 3/8/21, retracing back down from the line, and after
making a new high it marches right back down to the blue line once again. I not only find it
fascinating; I trade off of these lines real-time.
Adding another indicator to this chart, see Figure 5, makes the lines even more evident. I like to
keep everything simple while I’m trading; I don’t want to think about anything else but the

trades. So, I color the day session red and blue and the 24-hour session cyan and magenta.
This indicator is simply called “DaySessions,” From Figure 5 we can see that the day session
opens at 6:30am PST when the candles become red and blue, while the 24-hour session is in
cyan and magenta candles.
With the chart colorized it is very apparent that the day session retraced right to the midnight
opening price at the blue horizontal line. That was a 60-point short trade!
As I’m writing this article, I am trading the eMini S&P 500 and watching closely as price moves
tentatively between the two horizontal lines. Notice that the range of the bars has narrowed
and price is trying to find a direction.
FIGURE 6—Price Forming Between Two Horizontal Lines
Before I complete this article, price will have penetrated the lower line as traders exit their long
positions before the final bell, or it will burst on out of the confinement in an attempt to position
itself for another trading session. This is the beauty of horizontal lines. They highlight firm
areas where when penetrated we know that price action has changed.
It is only a matter of minutes later now, and the direction of the breakout is clear. With a short
entry on a stop right below the lower horizontal line, a quick $500 per contract was available in
15 minutes’ time. Figure 7 shows the current chart.

Looking at this chart in real-time, we can see that price has either dropped hastily below the
23.6% line and will pop back up to it as support, or it will continue on down to the 38.2%
retracement line, which is more likely. It is 2 minutes before the close and I’m betting on
traders exiting their long positions to be flat for the next day. This is earnings season and lots of
news comes out after the close of the market, making for surprises both to the up- and down-
side, so it’s riskier to hold positions overnight.
Take a look at the chart in Figure 8 again. It is now past closing time and the market is closed
for 15 minutes before the night session begins. Look where the eMini ended! Right at the 38.2%
line. It didn’t exactly touch it, if I drew the lines right, but it was within millimeters. This leads
me to think that it will complete the move when the market opens again in 15 minutes.
I have shown you what I do with horizontal lines, of several kinds. Of course, there are more
uses than just these, but you can see that horizontal lines hold much promise. By themselves,
with no other indicators, you have the beginnings of a hearty trading strategy. I have horizontal
lines of attraction on all my charts and look to them to illuminate future price action.
If I were only allowed one indicator or tool on my trading chart, it would definitely be Fibonacci
retracements and extensions. With that I know most of what I need to know.

10 Core Concepts of Hurst Cycles
By David Hickson
CONCEPT #1: WHAT ARE CYCLES?
Hurst's cyclic principles have to do with cycles which affect the price movements of financial
markets.
“What are cycles?” you might ask.
There are many different definitions for what a cycle actually is, but for the purposes of you being
able to trade profitably on the basis of Hurst's cyclic principles it is not necessary that you
understand what a cycle actually is.
For the purposes of trading profitably, this is all you need to know about what a cycle is:
A cycle is something that influences the price movement of a financial
market to move up towards a peak, and then to move down towards a
trough (or low point). It repeats that action on a fairly regular basis.
The distance in time between any two troughs of the cycle is called the wavelength of the cycle.
Here is a picture of one simple cycle. It is a sine wave, which is often used as a representation of a
cycle causing price to move up and then down:

PB www.
tradersworld.com
July/August/September 2016
An important point about this representation of a “cycle” is that the x-axis represents time,
moving forward in time from left to right, which of course means that the cycle wavelength is
expressed in time. And the y-axis represents the influence of the cycle on price – as it moves up it
is influencing price to increase, as it moves down it is influencing price to decrease.
There is an important subtlety that you must grasp about this concept: Cycles influence price.
What you see in the price movement (on a chart for instance) is the result of the cycle’s influence.
Cycles themselves work very accurately, but their influence on price is an inaccurate, rather messy
process, which is why I often say that “the markets are not perfect”. It is why analyzing a financial
market is as much an art as it is a science.
CONCEPT #2: MULTIPLE CYCLES
Now that you know what a cycle is, the next basic concept that you must understand is that:
There are multiple cycles which influence the price movement of any
financial market
In fact, there are an infinite number of cycles which influence the price movements of financial
markets, but don't worry about that. You do not need to understand every single one of the
infinite number of cycles! All you need to do is understand (or know) as many cycles as you
possibly can.
Hurst's cyclic principles differ from many other cyclic theories, because of this simple fact: that
there are multiple cycles which work simultaneously to influence the price movement of a
financial market.
What is so important about the fact that there are multiple cycles that influence price
movements? That is the next basic concept:
CONCEPT #3: MULTIPLE CYCLES COMBINE IN A PARTICULAR WAY
The multiple cycles that influence price movements combine in a very
particular way.
We won’t bother with the exact details or the mathematics here, because you don’t need to
understand this now, but what it is important to understand is that the cycles do combine in a
particular way so as to produce this result:
Because of the way in which cycles combine they form recognizable shapes in the price
movement (see concept #8).
The up-and-down cycle move can become very skew in the price movement. This means
that price does not necessarily go up for half the cycle, and then move down for half the
cycle. Price might move up for most of a cycle’s wavelength, and then move down for a
brief period of time, or vice versa.

July/August/September 2016
Sometimes this “skew-ness” (or distorted nature if you prefer to stick to English) of the cycles as
they appear in the price movement is so extensive that cycles seem to disappear from view
altogether.
Here’s an important point: Cycles do not disappear. Period.
Sometimes the influence of a particular cycle is overwhelmed by another cycle which is exerting a
greater influence on price. And the cycle that is being overwhelmed might seem to disappear.
But it hasn’t … the cycle is still there, and it will reappear sooner or later.
Many people who do not understand Hurst’s cyclic principles get stuck on this concept, and often
reject the whole idea of cycles in financial markets because of this. Perhaps they have
“discovered” a cycle in the market and have been trading it … and then it “disappears” along with
a good deal of their trading money.
Once you understand that cycles do not disappear, and are able to apply your understanding of
how multiple cycles combine to produce their effect on the price movement you will not suffer
from the “disappearing” cycle (or trading money) problem.
As a matter of interest this is why software programs which extract cycle information from price
movements are of little benefit to your trading. They tell you what has happened in the past, and
although cycles do repeat, they are constantly changing in ways that past cycle information
cannot predict (see concept #6). You might make some profitable trades, but sooner or later the
cycles are going to twist, distort, or seem to disappear, and you find yourself making losing trades.
Software programs which extract cycle information from price movements are only useful for
providing a starting point for a cyclic analysis. That starting point is a summary of the recent cycle
wavelengths. True cycle analysis comes after that. From now on please do yourself a favor: never
again make trading decisions on the basis of only a list of recent cycle wavelengths.
CONCEPT #4: CONTINUOUS TIME
Now before we go into more detail about the cycles, there is something you should understand:
The cycles that influence the price movements of financial markets exist
in continuous time.
The cycles that cause financial markets to move up and down affect those financial markets
twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred and sixty-five (and a quarter) days a
year regardless of whether we are actually trading the financial market in question.
This is another reason why software programs which extract recent cycle information from price
movements can be very misleading. If a trough forms in price on a Friday, and then another trough
forms on a Tuesday, the software would measure that as a two-day cycle because there were two
trading days between the troughs, whereas the true measure of the cycle is in fact four days. This
is only a problem for the shorter cycles, but it is something to be aware of.

Now, what else do you need to understand about the multiple cycles that influence the price
movements of financial markets? How are they related? Is it just an arbitrary random collection of
different cycle lengths?
No, this is the next important concept.
CONCEPT #5: THE HARMONIC NOMINAL MODEL
The cycles that influence the prices of any financial market are defined in what Hurst called the
"Nominal model". Here is Hurst's default nominal model (with cycles shorter than the 5 day cycle
added by me):
A nominal model is simply a list of cycles with harmonically related
wavelengths
The left hand column in the above table is the name of the cycle. The longest cycle that Hurst
considered it necessary to analyze is, as you can see, the eighteen year cycle.
Now, the average wavelength in days of that cycle, as the second column shows is 6547.2 days,
and the average wavelength in terms of years is 17.93 years (the third column).
We call that cycle the eighteen year cycle because it's much easier talking about the eighteen year
cycle than it is talking about the seventeen point nine-three year cycle!
www.
tradersworld.com
April/May/June 2021

PB www.
tradersworld.com
July/August/September 2016
In that table you see the full list of cycles that Hurst defined, cycles from a length of eighteen years
down to five days. In developing Sentient Trader, I have extended the concept of the nominal
model down to the intraday level, and I have been able to find and define cycles all the way down
to three minutes in length.
Why do we call this an harmonic nominal model? Simply because the wavelengths of each of
these cycles is related by a very simple harmonic ratio.
For instance, the wavelength of the eighteen year cycle is related by a ratio of two to one to the
wavelength of the nine year cycle.
CONCEPT #6: THE VARIATION OF CYCLES
Now that you understand that the multiple cycles which influence the price movements of
financial markets are not arbitrary random cycles, but are a specific list of harmonically related
cycles, we must move on to the next concept which is one of the fundamental principles of Hurst's
cycle theory.
Cycles experience constant variation
This concept is most apparent as the constant variation in a cycle’s wavelength, but in fact the
amplitude of all cycles varies constantly as well. Amplitude is the strength of the cycle, or how
much it is pushing price up or down.
And so, although the average length of an eighteen year cycle is 17.93 years, the actual
wavelength of any particular eighteen year cycle will vary from that average length, it could be
longer or shorter than the average wavelength. Could be, and most probably will be!
This is another reason why knowing the recent wavelength of a cycle is not sufficient information
to make a trade. Because the next iteration of that cycle is likely to be shorter or longer.
Which will it be? Shorter or longer? Read on, because that question is answered by a full
understanding of these basic concepts.
CONCEPT #7: SYNCHRONIZED TROUGHS
The next important concept that you must understand is that cycles which influence the price
movements of financial markets, according to Hurst's cyclic principles, have synchronized troughs.
Cycles have synchronized troughs
We have already seen the list of cycles that are present in the nominal model, and which all work
simultaneously to influence the price movements of a market. Now it is important to understand
that those cycles have synchronized troughs.
That means that of course they do not have synchronized peaks. Here it will help in understanding
this concept if we take a look at a picture. Earlier I showed you a picture of a single cycle, but now
www.
tradersworld.com
April/May/June 2021
89
PB www.
tradersworld.com
July/August/September 2016
we know there are multiple cycles that work simultaneously, and so here is a picture that shows
two cycles, and the result of combining those two cycles:
One cycle is colored green, one cycle is pink. The result of combining those two cycles (and their
combined effect or influence on the price movement of a market) is represented by the blue line.
Now take a look at the peaks and the troughs of both the green and the pink cycle, and you'll see
that the troughs are synchronized where possible (because they have different wavelengths it is
impossible that all troughs occur at the same time), whereas the peaks are not. In other words the
troughs occur at the same time, or point along the x-axis. But the peaks occur at different times.
This is a very important concept, and defines how the cycles work together to influence the price
movement of a financial market. The result of the fact that there are synchronized troughs gives
us a particular shape to the cycles as they manifest in the price movements of financial markets,
and that is our next fundamental concept.

CONCEPT #8: CYCLE SHAPES
Cycles form M-shapes in price
Here is that shape, highlighted in red:
It looks a little bit like a capital M. That is the shape that results from combining harmonically
related cycles with synchronized troughs.

Let's take a look at combining three cycles. Here there is a pink colored, a yellow colored, and a
cyan colored cycle, all of which have been combined to produce the resultant price movement
which is the dark blue line at the top:
Although this shape is a little bit more complicated, you will see that it nevertheless follows the
basic format of the shape of a cycle in a financial market. How many M-shapes can you see there?
You probably saw this M-shape immediately:
But did you see these two M-shapes?

Now do you see what I mean by cycles being “skew” in price movement? Those are very skew M-
shapes indeed, but there is good news. Cycles shapes are not arbitrarily skew. There is a way of
knowing what sort of cycle shape to expect, which leads us to our next fundamental concept:
CONCEPT #9: UNDERLYING TREND
We know that there are multiple cycles that influence the price movements of financial markets.
However, we are going to be trading one of them. We are going to choose one of those cycles, and
we are going to trade that cycle. And that cycle has something called an underlying trend.
The underlying trend of a cycle is the sum total effect of all cycles longer
than the cycle that we are considering
The underlying trend of your trading cycle (or any cycle for that matter) is the combined effect of
all cycles longer than your trading cycle. It is as simple as that.
What do I mean by the combined effect? I mean that for each one of the cycles longer than your
trading cycle you need to answer the question: is this cycle causing price to move up or move
down? That is the effect of that cycle, and the combined effect is what you get when you combine
the effect of each of the cycles!
At any time some of the cycles are influencing prices to move upwards, and some of the cycles are
influencing prices to move downwards and so the combined effect of the cycles changes over
time.
Underlying Trend is expressed as a simple integer number. It is calculated by looking at each cycle
(longer than the cycle under consideration) in turn, and adding 1 if that cycle is moving up, and
subtracting 1 if that cycle is moving down.

tradersworld.com

PB www.
tradersworld.com
July/August/September 2016
If the underlying trend of a particular cycle at a particular time is positive then it means that the
longer cycles are pushing up, and therefore we expect the cycle to be stretched (or “skewed”)
upwards.
On the other hand if the underlying trend of a particular cycle at a particular time is negative then
it means that the longer cycles are pushing down, and therefore we expect the cycle to be
stretched (or “skewed”) downwards.
Wow, that is really exciting!
Do you get it? … No?
Let me explain:
1. If we perform a cycle analysis, and know what each of the cycles is doing right now …
2. We know what they will be doing in the near future (because cycles are fairly regular) …
3. And therefore we can calculate the underlying trend for the next iteration of our trading
cycle …
4. And hence we can predict the shape of the next iteration of our trading cycle
And knowing the shape of the cycle means that we can trade it!
Are you beginning to see why I say that knowing only the recent wavelength of a cycle is not
enough information … it is a good starting point, but that is all it is.
Now here is the final concept that you must understand. The final piece of the puzzle.
CONCEPT #10: TIME TRANSLATION
This final concept is in fact the result of the combination of several of the other concepts:
Because of the way in which multiple cycles combine, peaks and troughs
in price are “time translated”
Time translated means that they are displaced in time.
So what does this mean? It means that peaks and troughs in price are displaced in time from the
peaks and troughs in the actual cycle.
Come again? (that’s an expression that means “please say that again” and it works best if you say
it with a South African accent, as I do)
Peaks and Troughs in PRICE do not occur at the same time as those
peaks and troughs in the actual cycles
Wait … what was a cycle again? Go back to concept #1 …
www.
tradersworld.com
April/May/June 2021
94
PB www.
tradersworld.com
July/August/September 2016
And remember that I mentioned that cycles “influence price”? We are trading the price
movements, not the actual cycles … and so it is useful to know that the turning point in price might
very well be displaced from the turning point in the cycle.
Here is a picture which should be familiar to you by now. Three cycles, do you see the time
translation?
I have labelled with orange arrows two peaks in price which are time translated from the peaks of
the cycles. If you find it confusing then look at a full cycle from trough to trough and ask yourself
where the peak in the cycle is, then ask where the peak in price is over that same time period.
I have also labelled with a red arrow an example of a time translated trough. Can you see other
examples of time translation in the diagram?
Where is the peak of the cyan (pale blue) colored cycle? And where is the peak in price over that
time period (which is the full width of the diagram, from the cyan trough on the left to the cyan
trough at the right).
Do you notice that there are in fact two equal peaks in price? Why is that? (Hint: cycles make M-
shapes in price, M’s have two peaks!)
Last question, just to make sure that you are really getting this: look at the left hand yellow cycle.
Can you see the two peaks of the M-shape in price? Which of those two peaks is the actual peak in
price? It’s the second one … and that means that the peak of the yellow cycle has been time
translated to the right in price. Translated to the right in price means that it happened later in
price than it did in the actual cycle, because the x-axis represents time, moving forward from left
to right.

PB www.

July/August/September 2016
OK so how does this help you? If the peaks and troughs don’t occur at the same time as they do in
the cycles then how on earth are we meant to make trading decisions? Here (finally) is the good
news:
Time translation is not an arbitrary thing. We can know whether to expect a peak or trough early
or late.
How do we do that? By working out underlying trend, and then:
When the underlying trend of a cycle is positive (or bullish) then PEAKS
occur LATE, and TROUGHS occur EARLY
When the underlying trend of a cycle is negative (or bearish) then PEAKS
occur EARLY, and TROUGHS occur LATE
OK quick test: remember that yellow cycle, which had a time translated peak in price to the right?
That is a LATE peak … which should have occurred when the underlying trend is positive or bullish.
Was that the case? Calculate the underlying trend for that yellow cycle now …
In case you forgot how to do that … you consider each of the longer cycles in turn. Fortunately
that’s fairly easy here: there is only one longer cycle – the cyan cycle. Is it going up or down for the
duration of the leftmost yellow cycle? It is going UP, and so we calculate an underlying trend for
the left yellow cycle as +1. That is a positive underlying trend, and so we expect a LATE PEAK,
which is exactly what we got …
Is that all making sense?
By the way: this concept is the final nail in the coffin for software which only extracts recent cycle
wavelengths. You must perform a full Hurst cycle analysis, and then apply this concept to help you
to time your trades correctly. Never again trade purely on the basis of the recent wavelength of a
cycle!

Introduction
The Markets are designed to take money out of the pockets of unprepared, amateur, or unskilled
traders who do not understand the trading environment. Large institutions with professional
traders operate in the markets for their benet and because of their size, basically drive the
markets. For a retail trader, the only way to be successful is to develop rules to control their
emotions and give them an edge so that they can trade along side of the professional without
getting wiped out.
Retail traders can achieve an edge in the market because they can, with practice, see the tracks
of the large institutions in the price movement of the markets and equities. Retail traders can
use this information to enter and exit the market with a much quicker response than a large rm
holding huge positions. While there are many issues that a retail trader must face, they are not
impossible to overcome.
The main issue facing a retail trader is to identify when an equity is under an accumulation
by institutions as buyers are stepping up, or is under a liquidation, as sellers are taking
charge. While it is beyond the scope of this article, every retail trader must adopt a method
of understanding the market conditions and be able to identify an uptrend, consolidation or
downtrend character of the markets.
As technical traders, price action is fundamental to our analysis. Using moving averages
helps smooth out the price action chop and allows a trader to identify trends over time. For
example, it is commonly accepted when price is above the 50 simple moving average (10
weeks of time for a daily chart) and the average is moving higher, an uptrend is in progress.
When price is below the 50 simple moving average and the average is moving down, then a
downtrend is in progress. Trading with the trend is the one of the best methods for following a
market and equities. By using patterns or setups within a trend, we can identify quality trading
opportunities.
The Setup and Examples
If you study chart patterns, you may notice that there are patterns that price action will form
and repeat in a broad trend (either up or down) as an equity trades over time. By using shorter
time frame averages, we can identify these patterns as they develop. The most common pattern

Trap Setup

for any equity is that price will enter a consolidation area and then move out of that consolidation
in the form of a breakout higher (or a break down lower). It is by identifying these breakout
opportunities that a trader can capitalize on the movement of price as a trend progresses.
At Hit and Run Candlesticks, we use a simple setup to identify a pattern within a trend we call
the “3x8 Trap”. On a daily chart with candlestick bars, we add the 3 exponential moving average
(EMA, pink, dash) and the 8 exponential moving average (EMA, black, solid). The trap is formed
when price consolidates back towards the main trend. As the price moves, the 3 EMA will pull
down toward the 8 EMA forming a trap for price. We call it a trap because price becomes
“trapped” between the 3 EMA and 8 EMA as it consolidates. This pattern provides a very clear
potential entry that also shows you a very clear stop area for a trader. If the price fails the 8
EMA, the pattern is broken and if a position is open, it can be closed quickly with minimal loss to
the trader.
If buyers, in a bullish pattern, start accumulation of the equity again, we can see the trap trigger
as price moves up and the 3 EMA moves up away from the 8 EMA.
Southwest Airlines, as an example, recently started a new upward trend out of a consolidation
area. While trading out of this consolidation is possible, it is not yet a trend and if we wait, we
can see that there is a 3x8 trap that forms as the uptrend develops. This is the opportunity that
we look for in a bullish 3x8 trap setup – evidence of a bullish trend, a consolidation as trading
institutions pause in their accumulation of the stock, a 3x8 trap forms, and a resumption of the
uptrend occurs as buyers step up their activity. (See Fig 1).
Fig 1: LUV, TC200 charting software
By identifying the 3x8 Trap, a trader may use the opportunity to exploit the normal consolidation
www.
tradersworld.com

98
PB www.

July/August/September 2016
and breakout patterns that occur in a trend. Sometimes it can happen multiple times in a short
span of time within a trend. (See Fig 2).
Fig. 2 JNJ, TC200 charting software
One of the key advantages of the 3x8 trap is that there is no anticipation, no expectation, no
infusions of Hopium for the retail trader. The pattern is simple and easy to identify in the stock
charts in your watch list of stocks. You can “see” it coming and then set alerts for movement
out of the trap and decided if the conditions and your account are ripe for a trade. In Viacom,
ticker VIAC, traders in our room were able to make very good money as a 3x8 trap developed,
manifested higher and then paused once again. As the chart shows, it is setting up another 3x8
trap which may trigger another move higher. (see Fig 3).

The pattern also forms to the downside. In a bearish setup, there must be an overall downtrend
in the equity, the 3 EMA will be below the 8 EMA. As price moves back to the 8 EMA a bearish
3x8 Trap will form. If price continues to move lower, the trap will alert to the downside. (See
Fig 4).
Fig 4: AAPL, TC200 charting software
Regardless of a bullish or bearish 3x8 trap setup, the stop loss is fairly easy to determine as a
movement to the opposite side of the trap is a sign of failure of the pattern. If the trap triggers
in the direction of the trend, it will also be obvious as a candlestick pattern will form indicating
bulls or bears are in control.
Benets & Cautions
At Hit and Run Candlesticks, we prefer the simplicity of the 3x8 Trap as it allows us to be
comfortable in our trading as we patiently stalk the setups in our watch list of stocks. When
we see the setups form and alert, then we can decide if it is a good time to enter a position.
There is no chasing, no urgency, no drama involved. This builds our mental equity as we gain
condence in our practice as retail traders.
When there are no setups forming or the market conditions are not conducive to trading
continuation trends in equities, then we employ our SOH trading style… we sit on our hands and
study charts. Or we enjoy other activities with our family and friends away from the markets.
Some of our members have found relief from their self-imposed trading pressures by adopting
a 3x8 Trap trading plan. This “sport” has a very long season and there is always going to be a
new game tomorrow.
It must be made abundantly clear that not all setups will manifest to a positive outcome. Every
technical trading setup involves some risk of loss and is never a 100% guarantee. Retail traders
must discipline themselves to the understanding that we have only one proactive choice when
www.
tradersworld.com
April/May/June 2021
100
PB www.
tradersworld.com
July/August/September 2016
we decide to trade - our entry. Every decision after an entry is reactive to the conditions that
develop in the market and/or equity. We need to decide what our rules are and how we will use
them to protect our mental equity and nancial equity. We believe the 3x8 Trap is a superior
setup as part of a technical trading plan for equites in the market.
Track Record & Results
In 2018, an account was opened so that we could show this setup in real time and with 100%
accountability to our members. The account was made public during the trading day and at the
end of each month. The account was started with $5,000 with a goal of achieving 100% return
within a twelve month period of time. Only directional options, calls and puts, would be used in
the trading of only the 3x8 Trap setup.
Within a few months and relatively exciting success, the account was renamed “The Road To
Wealth Account”. After 22 months of active trading, the account had risen to over $70,000
at which time it was closed out. Many members of Hit and Run Candlesticks observed this
real time and some even beneted by participating in the trading room and trading their own
accounts.
In August of 2020, we started another Road to Wealth with a $10,000 basis. Again the rules
were the same – only directional options would be used to trade the 3x8 Trap setup, with a goal

Conclusion
The 3x8 Trap is a simple setup that anyone can employ in their trading program as part of their
trading plan. Our members have achieved great success on a daily time frame as swing traders.
Longer time frames for investors and even on short intra-day time frames for day traders and
scalpers. Some of our members are achieving greater than a 70% win ratio over extended
periods of time. There are nuances that will improve the odds of success – identifying entry
signals, setting goals for exits, placing stops – that have to be taken into consideration of any
trading program. However, if you set up your charting program and start tracking stocks in your
watch list, we believe you will be able to nd the 3x8 Trap very quickly and easily. You may
chose to add the setup to your trading program.

Top 3 Reasons I Trade the Futures Markets and
2 Mistakes to Avoid
By Steve Wheeler
Founder and CEO of NaviTrader.com (www.navitrader.com)
Professional Trader and System Designer/Developer
www.navitrader.com
Introduction
Let me start by introducing myself. I am a full time trader, trainer and software developer in
the futures markets. I run a real time Live Market Trading/Training Room two hours each
trading day. I have traded for over 20 years, and concentrate primarily on the currency
(FOREX), crude oil, gold and stock index futures markets, such as the S & P E-mini. In a
previous career, I was a practicing C.P.A. in the state of Florida.
I have developed a full suite of charts and indicators known as the Trendicators™ and a
market analyzer known as the TradeFinder™, as well as a number of automated trading
systems and automated buy, sell and trade management systems.
What follows are the fundamental elements you need to be consistently profitable in the
futures markets. I have also included information below that is crucial to your overall
success and in managing your risk.
Preparation for trading profitably consists of market observation over a period of time so
that the trader can build confidence in knowing what usually happens in the market and how
to profit from the recurring market behavior that repeats itself every day. To take advantage
of cycles in the markets, observe the typical move that a market moves after it moves up or
down out of a range contraction pattern.
The real objective is to build knowledge of probabilities of market behavior so as to take
consistent profits out of specific trading instruments. The following are observations of
market behavior that will help to put the probabilities in your favor.

3 Top Reasons I Trade the Futures Markets
Reason # 1: Being Able to Profit In Up and Down Markets
There are several types of futures contracts to trade within the futures markets such as:
➢ Stock futures
➢ Currency futures
➢ Index futures
➢ Commodity futures
➢ Interest rate futures
The beauty of futures trading is that you can just as easily take long positions on up moves
and short positions on down moves.
We all know that everyone is a genius in a bull market for stocks, but we need a strategy that
will work in all markets. If the futures are in a down move, you can take short positions, and
in an up move you can take long positions. You are not subject to the day trading rules that
exist in the stock market.
One can get short exposure on a stock by selling a futures contract and applies to all kinds of
futures contracts. On the contrary, one cannot always short sell all stocks, as there are
different regulations in different markets, some prohibiting short selling of stocks altogether.
Short selling stocks requires a margin account with a broker and in order to sell short, you
must borrow shares from your broker in order to sell what you don't already own. If a stock
is hard to borrow or the fact that you cannot obtain shortable shares from your broker, you
can not go short.
Reason # 2: Be Able to Take Advantage of Leverage
What trading stock futures essentially means for the investor is that they can expose
themselves to a much greater value of stocks than they could when buying the original
stocks. Therefore, their profits also multiply if the market moves in his direction (10 times if
margin requirement is 10%).

For example, if the investor wants to invest $1250 into Apple (APPL) stock priced at $125,
they can either buy 10 stocks or a future contract holding 100 Apple stocks (10% margin for
100 stocks: $1250). Now assuming a $10 increase in price of Apple, if the investor would
have invested in the stock, they would earn a profit of $100, whereas if they took a position
in an Apple future contract, their profit would be $1000.
Reason # 3: Futures Markets are Very Liquid
Futures contracts are traded in huge numbers every day and therefore, the futures markets
are very liquid. The constant presence of buyers and sellers in the future markets
ensures market orders can be placed with minimal slippage. Also, this entails that the prices
do not fluctuate drastically, especially for contracts that are near maturity. Thus, a large
position may also be cleared out quite easily without any adverse impact on price.
In addition to being liquid, many futures markets trade beyond traditional market hours.
Extended trading in stock index futures often runs overnight, with some futures markets
trading 24 hours from Sunday night to Friday afternoon.
2 Mistakes to Avoid When Trading Futures
Mistake # 1: Trading Without a System
To put the probabilities in your favor, you must have an objective method or system for your
trading. Patterns repeat themselves over and over in all markets, so knowing these patterns
can help to put the probabilities in your favor. The more you can automate your trading
signals, the more objective you will be in your trade selection.
You need to determine a set of technical conditions for which you would take a long or short
position in any market. You can use technical indicators that are widely available, or you
can develop your own indicators. Once you have chosen the indicators you want to use, test
them for validity in your trading. As in any testing, the more data you test, the more reliable
the results will be.

Mistake # 2: Not PROPERLY Balancing Risk vs. Reward
A primary downfall of beginning traders lies in not knowing how to manage risk. The use of
protective stop losses (known as stops); is one important tool in trading futures. An even
more important tool is known as position sizing. Position sizing answers the question of how
many contracts you should trade in the futures markets, and how many shares you should
buy or short in the stock market.
We know that trading is all about how to react to your successes as well as trades that don’t
go your way. No discussion of trading would be complete without a discussion of risk
management.
For futures trading, risk management is established with a combination of the use of 2 main
components:
1. stop orders
2. position sizing
You need to pair a proven strategy along with risk management. A part of your risk
management is in locking in profits and letting your winners run.
The big benefit for properly managing your risk leads to these 3 Trader Turn-arounds:
✓ Less Emotional Trading Stress
✓ Less Fear of Trading
✓ Less Greed in Trading
When you have too much risk at stake, you will heighten your stress levels as well as fears
while trading. Also, when you do your correct position sizing, you will not let greed take
over and cause you to take too big of a position which could put your entire account at risk!
The outcome is usually not a good one because trading stress, fear and greed cause you to
not trade your best as well as make emotional decisions.
You must learn to manage stress, fear and greed to improve your trading. You can use some
simple automation techniques that are programed into the trading software to help you
accomplish your goals. Take a look at the following ways that you can accomplish reducing
your trading fears, greed and stress.

Risk Management Guidelines- Crucial To Your Success
The following are risk management guidelines for futures contracts. They can be used with
both Mini and Micro futures contacts. Adapt these guidelines to fit your trading plan, but do
heed the importance of placing daily limits on yourself in terms of loss limits. Always trade
with stops in place and be sure that you properly size your positions before you enter any
trade. To take the most conservative methodology, avoid trading just prior to or just after
major economic news events that will impact your positions, such as Fed announcements,
jobs reports, etc. These guidelines represent a conservative approach, because your main
objective should be the preservation of capital, before generating profits.
One of the biggest roadblocks to trading success is risk management and properly weighing
risk and reward. If you find that you are not able to achieve these objectives, you must
adapt your trading plan so that you can meet these guidelines.
How the Micro Futures Could be a Game-changer for Your Trading
Some Reasons to Take a Look at Trading the Micro Futures Contracts:
✓ You are new to Futures trading
✓ You would just like to build on your strategy without taking on greater risk
✓ You would just like to reduce your trading anxiety
✓ You have a smaller trading account
✓ You would like to diversify without taking on too large of a risk
Many traders find they suffer from “Trading Hesitation” because of fear of losses. The
Micro suite of stock index futures may be able to help you with your trading fears.
The Micros are smaller contracts sizes and therefore provide less risk per trade contract. The
Micros are one-tenth the size of the traditional Futures trading contracts.

as on the risk involved.
Using the Micro Futures Accounts such as MES, MNQ, MYM, and M2K to help
you balance risk and reward
The micro futures have the benefit of lower risk and you will likely find them easier to trade.
Below are some helpful guides for consideration to help you manage your risk.

When trading the regular futures contracts, the stakes are higher, so you must carefully
balance your risk and reward. Below are some helpful guides for consideration to help you
manage your risk when trading the regular futures contracts.
Suggested guidelines for position sizing and loss limits:
For Each $10,000 of available margin:

Platform
As you develop your trading skills, I suggest that you use a professional trading platform that
will allow you to trade directly from the charts and will allow you to trade in simulation
mode as well as to execute trades in your live futures account. As with any skill, the more
that you practice, the better you get at it. It is important to develop your skills regarding the
proper use of your trading platform while in simulation mode to minimize trading errors
after you are trading your actual trading account.
Trading in simulation mode will help you to develop your confidence and an overall
methodology that fits your personality.

Developing a Belief in Your Approach and Overcoming Fear
Most traders will develop fear as they trade due to a history of losses. Like any fear, the way
to overcome it is to face fear head on, and continue to do what you fear the most. An
advantage of having a trading platform that provides for simulation is that you will be able to
trade in simulation mode, as in our example above to build a plan with a positive expectancy
and thereby develop greater confidence in your approach to trading. As you trade in
simulation mode, develop a set of notes that will act as the beginning of your trading plan.
Trade in simulation mode until you have mastered the use of the trading platform you have
chosen. As you trade in simulation mode, practice developing the discipline needed to
execute your trading plan. Through repetition, you will begin to develop into a polished and
profitable trader.

Gann said that astrology doesn’t work, without maths, ancient geometry and astronomy it’s
very hard to predict markets. You nd that everyone doing “astrology” and doing nancial markets
claim Gann was doing astrology. This because it lifts their prole as they weren’t heard of before
but downgrades Gann’s name to their levels of knowledge. It’s all to sell have baked Gann methods
which have nothing to do with what he was really doing.
Gann’s main economic chart had all the planets of heliocentric (astronomy) from Jupiter out from
when Columbus arrive in the USA in 1492, which has been shown in previous articles. Here you can
see Helio written in 1924 for the Rye chart.
Here are all the planetary positions of his Heliocentric Jupiter/Saturn conjunctions and
oppositions way back history. You can see its Heliocentric because there’s no retrograde of the
planets Jupiter and Saturn. The last Jupiter/Saturn opposition was on 3rd August 1951, that’s what he
has here for the USA.

Ganns Ephemeris from 1946 had all the planetary nodes written below. Nodes are Heliocentric.
Gann said his best book was called “Popular Astronomy” By Camille Flammarion and its 600 pages
long.If someone says they are an astrologer and are a Gann expert, run the other direction. None of
them have studied ancient geometry or astronomy. Gann wasn’t doing anything like these astrologers
claim he was doing.
There was one Astrologer who wrote astrology and coee course and used a chart that show
heliocentric Mars on a cotton chart of Gann’s. Do your own work rather than go to a “house wife”

When I open my email, I often see requests from traders for the original writings of Dr.
Alan Andrews. I have a massive library which can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=MnrxXMCwhOI
I have taken the massive library and put them into three massive manuals and lots of videos to
explain and update what I have. What has recently been requested is how to combine the Horn
of Plenty with the Median line. This will be the subject of our live seminar in the Fall.
Below you will nd a page or two of original writings of Dr. Andrews.
For those whose tuition is fully paid we show a weekly price range chart for Winnipeg Barley
nearest Futures, and the 3 steps in practical analysis of such a chart to assist in realizing gains.
(1) We begin to wonder about the orderliness of price movements in stocks or in commodities,
we note that whenever there is a sudden drop or rally, it is a signal that a series of 10 degree
T.L.s (Trend Lines) can be generated as drawn in on this chart, each a “Horn of Plenty”.
(2) Gathering data and taking measurements on numerous active charts shows that these drawn
in T.L.’s are frequently helpful in determining the pivots (buy and sell points).
(3) To nd out just how orderly and useful these relationships are, we note that the rise can
go on without any concern to those with a “long position”, provided the price movement stays
within the rst two 10 degree lines as shown.
Upon crossing the 20’ (degree) line, prices frequently drop to the 30’ line, giving opportunity to
add to one’s long position, or “pyramid” for possible resumption of the rise along or within the
40’ line. Frequently, crossing the 40’ up-trend line, or UTL means beginning a substantial DTL
(Down Trend Line). This is very frequently true if this downward counter move is preceded by a
sharp vertical peak. The top of the price movement shown here is a rounding top, as named by
Chartists.
Obviously the slope of the TLs depends upon the relative proportions of the coordinates used by
the maker of the chart. But by counting how frequently these pivots occur, and the exactness of
t for each particular stock or commodity charted, indicates the reliability of the probability for
their reoccurrence. And action can be taken when the odds are strongly in your favor.

The words above that are underlined are all terms used in the study of Probability. Reference
to the chapters dealing with Frequency, Reliability, Exactness of Fit, in Monroney’s “Facts from
Figures”, go into their meaning and application in detail.
Upon request you will be supplied with Stephen’s Stocks or Horsey’s Stock Picture if you wish to
apply the various aids provided by this course to particular stocks that you own or are interested
in. Also you will be supplied with Dupont’s Chronoex if you wish to fasten this transparent
drawing paper over your charts in order to avoid drawing-in the various lines and measurements
on the charts directly.
We have also designed several devices or tools, in the use of which protection is provided
through the US Patent Oce, which will make it easy for you to apply the principles of
probability which we have developed relative to price movements. These methods will enable
you to continue to make gains similar to those made by others in this course who followed the
indications properly.
Alan H. Andrews, Director
The NY Silver chart below was drawn by a new member, Mr. Edward Palm applying the
Foundation’s “Horn of Plenty Study”. Mr. Palm has made, and is making an exhaustive Study of
all available scientic Courses relative to Price Prediction, and was before going into business for
himself the writer of the periodic letter sent to customers of one of the largest Commodity Firms.
The lines below from the “Horn” method illustrate how prices uctuate along these regular
geometric 10 degree radial lines as well as between them.
Another Course member has written us that he has made very satisfactory prots from the
“Horn” method and it is apparently his favorite course method.
It seems natural for each person to select a method that appeals to him. One of our friends who
is one of the County’s largest Traders told the writer that he liked the Moving Average Channel
line method for although it didn’t get him in always at the bottom or out at the top, it did give
him prots from the long trends. However this man was constantly on the lookout for other

successful methods. For there may be frequent times when other methods can prevent some of
the “whipsaws” common to side wise movements of prices in their uctuations.
You might like to put a piece of tracing paper over this chart and start your radial lines from the
low on the last of November 1973 at the 275 area and see the similar uctuations along and at
these radial lines. Such practice certainly gives the investor a “feel” of the market.
Case study course rules
Median lines and MLH: the MLs enable the user to be one of the few who can tell where the
prices are headed, and the place they will reach about 80% of the time, and when approximately
that place will be reached. Slopes of alternate MLs of comparable length indicate the trend.
When both recent MLs slope in the same direction the trend is strong and price change rapid. A
reverse ML is formed when 1ML2-3 is exactly reached at P4, and is a reliable CL for applying the
AR method.
There is a high probability that:
1. Prices will reach the latest ML
2. Prices will either reverse on meeting the ML or gap through it
3. When prices pass through the ML, they will pull back to it
4. When prices reverse before reaching the ML, leaving a “space”, they will move more in the op-
posite direction than when prices were rising toward the ML.
5. Prices reverse at any ML or extension of a prior ML.

PB www.

July/August/September 2016
Frequently, after crossing a lower MLH, prices
continue to rise along the MLH before the
further drop that was signaled by passing
through. So here you can use a sliding parallel
through the bottom of the range of the most
recent day as a sell signal if prices drop
through that SH.
MLH are places beyond which each day you
place a buy or sell order before the market
opens the next day if prices pass through that
MLH. MLs between P2 and P3 can start from
nearby or more remote P1s, and prices tend
to reverse at each of these MLs. The distance
of each MLH from its ML is the distance of the
next warning line (WL) from that MLH. When
a second “space” reversal negates a previous
one, there has been a “shake out” that signals
a larger move in the opposite direction.
Mini median lines (MMLH): Use the MMLH
as the buy/signal when you expect a reversal
because of a P5, or because prices are at an
RL, WL, major ML extension, etc. Also use
MMLH as a stop loss right after entry.
If prices cross an MMLH and then move along
it, enter when prices reverse by use of an SH.
In some markets drawing MMLH from end of
ranges is best to reduce whip-saws, but use
closes to draw these MMLHs between usually.
Converging lines that meet prices have high
probability of trend reversal. MMLH lines can
be drawn through the daily range after a gap.
Two to four days is usually a maximum
between 2 and 3 for an MML. P1 can be 1 day
or more back from 2 and 3.

Simplifying Market Analysis with
GoNoGo Charts®
ABSTRACT: Price, volume, and many market statistics help investors understand the
macroeconomic environment, fund flows, investor sentiment, and many other aspects of the backdrop
against which we must make trading decisions. The literature tells us that humans have evolved a
heightened sense of pattern recognition and visual comprehension to distinguish predators from prey.
Naturally, innumerable tools and indicators have been developed over the past 50 years by expert
technicians and market analysts to help investors understand complex information generated by the
markets through data visualization – “Charts”. In our data-driven world, it has become increasingly
difficult to separate signal from noise, to find insight in ever-expanding reams of information, and
therefore derivative price-based indicators have proliferated. Unfortunately, the more information
represented on a chart, the harder it is for the human eye to reach conclusions… until now. GoNoGo
Charts® were designed to leverage investors innate visual processing power to deliver comprehensive
market information in an elegantly simple tool.
INTRODUCTION: TREND-FOLLOWING INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The goal of long-only investors is to participate in uptrends, selling securities at higher prices than where
they were purchased. For value investors, the aim is to find securities reaching absolute lows relative to
an estimate of intrinsic value. For growth investors, the objective is to buy securities already making new
highs with the expectation that trends will carry them much higher. Yet, to be successful with any style of
investing, it is critical to know when the trade has ended.
Investors and analysts develop checklists or rules that, when broken, dictate their sell discipline. Has price
crossed below a moving average, broken a trendline, or broken below a key support level? Are oscillators
or momentum indicators diverging from price? Has volume changed dramatically? It is these critical
checklists that help disciplined investors cut losses short and let winners run. However, disciplined
investing can lead to unruly charts.

GONOGO CHARTS BLEND TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES
The genesis for GoNoGo Charts was to simplify overly complicated technical analysis – a complaint of
many critics and users alike. How can an investor review all the necessary data in a single view of a
security or index? As more indicators and tools are added, price becomes obscured. Price is the most
important indicator of all market analysis, so it is at best counterproductive to obstruct price action under
multiple derivative indicators. At worst, analysts miss the most important facet of understanding a
security’s risk/reward conditions.
Consider the example price chart below. Although an experienced technician may be able to read and
interpret all these lines and extra panels, it restricts their ability to perform traditional price-based
analysis. For example, trendline annotation, identifying key areas of support and resistance, or classical
pattern recognition would be hard to perform on a chart such as this:
To solve this problem, GoNoGo Charts combine the most widely used and heavily tested technical tools
and concepts into one easy-to-read chart that keeps the focus on price, emphasizing the direction, trend,
and momentum using colors. This allows analysts to annotate the chart as they would a naked line,

candle, or bar chart, with the added insight of integrated indicators represented by the gradation of color
and explicit flags at reversal points. Consider the chart below:
There is more information embedded in this chart than in the overloaded chart we looked at above.
In the main panel, price action is unobscured. The five colors of GoNoGo Charts are easy to interpret and
accurately represent the comprehensive technical conditions of a security’s trend. GoNoGo Charts paint
price bars bright blue when its unique mix of inputs signals the strongest bullish environment. When
slightly less bullish, the color turns to aqua. This can happen at the start of a new trend, or after bright
blue bars, indicating that the trend may be weakening. The amber bars represent uncertainty, often
appearing in the transition from bull trend to bear trend and vice versa. The lower intensity bearish color
is pink, and the darker purple appears when the bearish trend intensifies. Annotating the GoNoGo Trend
chart with retracement/extensions, trendlines, identifying areas of support/resistance, or recognizing
other price patterns is now much easier as multiple indicators are blended directly into the price chart.
The lower panel depicts the GoNoGo Oscillator® which is similar to GoNoGo Trend in that it blends
several of the most revered momentum concepts, as well as volume into one easy to read indicator that

shows a security’s momentum as it moves between extremes of overbought and oversold. These
extremes correlate with the peaks and troughs in price explicitly (two peaks have been highlighted above
by white arrows on the lower panel but are automatically identified with counter trend correction icons in
the price chart. They are the red triangles above price peaks).
Another powerful technical concept commonly used when analyzing momentum on a price chart is
spotting divergence from price as a potential leading indicator of trend reversals. Examples of this
concept are shown with the dashed trend lines in the upper and lower panels. In the Dec/Jan period,
price reaches a new high in a strong uptrend (blue and aqua bars painting higher highs/lows). However,
GoNoGo Oscillator fails to confirm the new high in momentum (lower highs in the oscillator panel). In the
second period Feb/Mar, price is in a downtrend (“NoGo” flag followed by pink and purple bars painting
lower highs/lows). The dashed line highlights that momentum is rising (higher lows in the oscillator
panel).
This momentum divergence from price is an early warning to investors whichever side of the trade they
are on. In the first example, what follows the divergence is a break below zero in the lower panel
(negative momentum) and color change of the price chart, along with the irrefutable “NoGo” signal in the
main price panel.
Foundational concepts like this are crystal clear to the user of GoNoGo Charts because of the simplicity
and clarity of the information presented. GoNoGo Charts are applicable to any security, across all asset
classes, and like all technical tools they are fractal in nature – meaning they provide the same information
on any timeframe or periodicity. Click here for a complete explanation of the mechanics of GoNoGo
Charts.
GONOGO OSCILLATOR AND THE ZERO LINE
Traditional momentum oscillators were designed to identify extremes in velocity of price movement.
Many innovators of the 1970s developed oscillators for use in the rangebound US equity markets to
identify peaks and troughs, often called “overbought” and “oversold” levels, to identify likely points of
mean-reversion. GoNoGo Oscillator, which blends inputs from several popular oscillators, can certainly be
used in this way.

Much research has been published, however, around applying momentum oscillators to trending
markets. The literature tells us that, when a security is in trend, oscillators move in a range, they do not
swing from one extreme to the other. For example, when in an uptrend, RSI will often move between
overbought highs around 80 down to levels around 40. But while the uptrend continues, RSI will not drop
to overbought levels. Knowing this, investors can try to find a level of support for the oscillator itself. The
problem is these levels are subjective and vary from trend to trend and from security to security.
The unique way in which GoNoGo Oscillator interacts with the zero-line is perhaps the most useful
feature for trend-followers. GoNoGo Oscillator is calculated in such a way that when the blend of
momentum calculations falls into their neutral zones the oscillator value drops to zero. The zero-line is a
stable depiction of a varying neutral reading, giving the user an objective view of any diverging
momentum break from the trend.
The interaction was designed so that, during a healthy “Go” trend, the oscillator can rise to extremes and
drop to zero repeatedly as price surges and consolidates. It should not fall into negative territory during a
healthy uptrend, however, as that would signal an oversold condition often leading to trend reversal. If
the trend is healthy it will bounce off the zero-line indicating trend continuation. At these points a
GoNoGo Chart alerts users to the renewed momentum in the direction of the trend with green re-entry
icons.
One of the most difficult behavioral elements of trend-following investment strategies is staying in a trade
that has always posted strong gains. “Let your winners run” is simple advice, but very difficult to execute.
Within established “Go” trends, each time the oscillator bounces off the zero line provides an opportunity
to add to positions and increase leverage helping investors maximize returns with conviction in the trend.
More importantly, from a risk-management perspective, users observe that the first time GoNoGo
Oscillator fails to hold the zero line as support/resistance there is significant weakness in the trend
conditions. A break of the zero-line will often precede a change in color for the price bars in the main
panel.
A clear example of this is depicted in the daily GoNoGo chart below of the $QQQ. A “Go” trend is
identified in early November and white arrows were added each time GoNoGo Oscillator finds support at
the zero line. As the trend starts to deteriorate in mid-February, we can see that for the first time

GoNoGo Oscillator is unable to find support at the zero line. What follows is a change in the overall
condition of the blended trend indicators. The bars change to the neutral amber color before identifying a
complete trend reversal, signaling the “NoGo” flag and a move to pink, then purple bars.
Now that you understand what is embedded in the tools and how they are constructed, we can discuss
the application of these tools for investors navigating the tumultuous markets of the past 20 months.

THE VOLATILITY OF THE MARKETS IN 2020
Considering the dramatic and unprecedented moves of 2020, the daily GoNoGo chart above of the S&P
500 ($SPY) offers a prime example of how the charts deliver signal, not noise. GoNoGo Trend in the upper
price panel was able to highlight the change in trend quickly last February. The indication of an amber bar
combined with the diverging oscillator showed investors that the prior bullish “Go” trend had neutralized.
The immediate follow-up of a “NoGo” flag signaled the reversal of price trend in the $SPY.
This explicit signal was not at the absolute peak price, but rather at the start of the impending crash. The
purple (most bearish) and pink (bearish) bars continued to reinforce the “NoGo” technical environment
for the index throughout the historically rapid decline which persisted through the end of March.
GoNoGo Charts provide equally clear trend information to the downside. Confirmed by GoNoGo
Oscillator which remained below zero, a low-risk entry for shorting the index was indicated by the red
circle icon in early March.
Having hit the low of 2237.4 on March 23rd, we see the GoNoGo Oscillator® ride the zero line into the
beginning of April. Reduced momentum and decreasing volatility are highlighted by the white climbing
grid of the GoNoGo Squeeze® in the oscillator panel. This indicator captures the prolonged stagnation of
a suspended market – where neither buyers nor sellers have control. The longer momentum stays

neutral, the more prolonged the squeeze. Like a coiled spring, low-volatility periods are often followed by
a breakout with strong momentum.
As GoNoGo Oscillator broke out of the squeeze, showing positive momentum, it led the color change in
GoNoGo Trend and a rally out of the lows ensued (highlighted by the white arrow). As the rally continued
into the 2nd quarter of 2020, the “Go” trend persisted with renewed momentum. The oscillator found
support at the zero-line, repeatedly signaling low-risk reentries to give investors conviction in the rally.
SAFE HAVEN ASSETS
Not every investor can simply exit the market or raise cash during a crash. Many portfolio managers’
mandate requires they stay fully invested. While the tools highlighted above offer clear indications for
market entry and exit, GoNoGo Charts also deliver a succinct visual tool for understanding correlation and
relative strength trends. Allocations to safe haven asset classes, sectors, or securities can be made with
confidence using other GoNoGo Charts visual tools.
The GoNoGo Heat Map® above displays a comparison between all five major asset classes. Using the
GoNoGo Trend calculations, investors can see the trend conditions in isolation.

▪ The top frame above the heat map shows the GoNoGo Trend for $SPX. The first panel in the heat
map shows global equities using $DGT, the Global Dow ETF.
▪ One clear alternative to equities during the meltdown in March 2020 was US Treasuries,
represented in the second panel by $IEF (I-shares 7-10 year treasury fund). Treasuries were in a
blue/aqua “Go” trend through the tumultuous period concluding in June.
▪ GoNoGo Heat Map clearly shows that commodities, in the third panel, were in a “NoGo” trend
from early 2020. However, $USCI emerged into an aqua and blue “Go” trend beginning in mid-
May following the equity rally.
▪ The fourth map panel shows the US dollar, indexed against a basket of major currencies. The US
dollar, $DXY, showed strength during the drawdown in stocks as investors fled the markets.
▪ The final map panel shows the world’s largest digital asset, Bitcoin, and even this cryptocurrency
took a hit during the coronavirus meltdown.
The chart provides a macro view across asset classes, alerting investors to the markets which are trending
and quickly demonstrates the power of allocating capital among non-correlated assets.
SECTOR PERFORMANCE
For investors who exclusively trade stocks but need to stay fully invested, there were opportunities for
better performance relative to the broad index during the 2020 crash. Meaning, some areas of the
market had smaller drawdowns than the market as a whole.

The chart above is a GoNoGo RelMap®. This unique heat map shows the GoNoGo Trend colors of each
sector’s relative strength ratio against the S&P 500. These panels do not represent the absolute trend of
the sectors – they all declined during the crash – but rather the trend of their performance against the
benchmark.
As you might have expected based on the asset class analysis, defensive sectors outperformed the overall
market during the downturn. Look at Utilities, $XLU, in the lowest panel and how it sustained an aqua
and blue “Go” trend through the lows in March. Consumer Staples, $XLP (4th panel), also came into a
positive relative trend; outperforming the index right as the market rolled over. Healthcare, $XLV (3rd
panel), started to outperform in early March as headlines made clear that a race for a Covid-19 vaccine
was underway.
As the market rallied, you can see that the relative performance of those defensive sectors succumbed to
“NoGo” trends as a rotation into new sectors led the recovery. Look at Energy, $XLE (5th map panel), and
Consumer Discretionary, $XLY (2nd map panel). Both sectors underperformed on a relative basis during
the market crash but have been in strong “Go” relative trends since late April.

Finally, the Technology and Communications sectors outperformed the index on a relative basis as unified
efforts to quarantine the spread of the global pandemic through “stay-at-home” orders stimulated
demand for products and services in these sectors. The relative ratio of the Technology sector to the S&P
500, $XLK/SPX, led the markets in a “Go” trend through the historic crash and rebound.
ASSESSING RISK EVERYDAY, NOT JUST DURING A CRISIS
The chart below shows how an investor could understand the environment for risk during the pandemic,
or at any point they would want to understand the broad context of risk in capital markets.
The lower panel is a modified GoNoGo Map called GoNoGo Risk®. This map shows the GoNoGo Trend
applied to a risk proxy. In this instance, GoNoGo Charts uses the relative ratio of high yield bonds to
treasuries, a common risk proxy. When allocations to “junk” bonds outpace allocations to government
treasury bonds, investors are seeking yield through riskier assets – indicating a “risk-on” environment for
investors.

Interestingly, the environment was getting riskier as early as the end of January. GoNoGo Risk became
neutral amber for three bars before entering a “NoGo” weeks before the market collapsed. From a macro
risk perspective, the chart provided a leading indicator of the sell-off ahead beginning in late January.
Investors of all stripes, and technical analysts in particular, look for multiple points of confirmation to
assure the highest probability of success. While the ratio of high yield bonds to treasuries is not a trading
signal for any given security, it provides important context for regime shift in the markets.
GoNoGo Risk lagged many reentry points for the recent market rally and should not be used as a trading
tool, investors will note that currently the indicator confirms markets are in a risk-on environment.
WHERE ARE WE NOW?
Having explained how the GoNoGo Charts helped analyze the market during the unprecedented fall and
rise in 2020, look at the GoNoGo Chart below of the S&P 500 Spydr ETF to assess the current technical
environment. A daily GoNoGo Trend and GoNoGo Oscillator of the $SPY clearly show a “Go” with price
making higher highs and higher lows. The volatility causing the recent correction in the S&P was enough
to trigger an amber “Go Fish” bar, signaling a lack of directional trend, but was not enough to push the
$SPY into a “NoGo”. While GoNoGo Oscillator briefly dipped negative it quickly bounced back into
positive territory which caused the most recent green low-risk entry icon to appear under the price bar,
reassuring investors that the environment for equities is firmly a “Go” for launch.

STILL ABOARD THE ARK?
The overall market trend is a “Go” but we have seen rotation between sectors and among stock types.
With the recent shift away from mega-cap technology names toward cyclical sectors and value stocks, let
us look at how GoNoGo Charts illuminated the changing technical environment for Ark Investment’s
Innovation ETF, $ARKK.
We see in the chart below that there was a renewed “Go” trend identified in November of 2020 as the
GoNoGo Oscillator broke out of a Squeeze to the upside. During that strong “Go” trend, several low-risk
entry icons signaled trend continuation points (green circles). When GoNoGo Oscillator was finally unable
to find support at zero GoNoGo Trend also fell out of the “Go” trend as it broke through a trend line.
Now in the established “NoGo” trend, we see how GoNoGo Oscillator is finding resistance at the zero line.
Currently at zero, we will watch to see if it is turned away again.

BELIEVE IN BITCOIN
Surely one of the most exciting trends of the last year is Bitcoin, the world’s largest digital asset. The daily
chart below shows that the most recent “Go” trend was identified in October of 2020 at around $11,000.
Since then, the trend has been continuously reconfirmed by GoNoGo Oscillator as it continues to bounce
off the zero line, providing low risk entry points. After the most recent of these, we saw price push higher
to briefly trade above $60,000. As of March 15th, GoNoGo Oscillator is testing the zero line once more
from above, where we will look to see if it finds support, and in doing so, provide another trend
continuation icon on the price chart as $BTCUSD attempts to move higher yet again.

Why “GoNoGo” Charts?
The “Go/No-Go” terminology is borrowed from a type of pass/fail testing system often used by NASA as a
launch status check. In the early stages of developing these tools, that metaphor had striking similarities
to the disciplined process of investing.
Uncertainty in the market is unavoidable, but for every trade decision where capital is at risk, making sure
