Time Cycles


Recommended Posts

Any savvy trader following the logic of the post dated 9th Nov 2021 and applying a little common sense - Would have been able to call the 2022 TOP within a 1 week window!

Here's the updated chart - also notice in the charts above I mentioned a Time Cycle due on 4th April 2022 (1.5 years BEFORE the date) - the markets did not fail

WD Gann Said over 100 years ago "When TIME & PRICE BALANCE, the trend HAS to change" - You've just witnessed that 7 months ago! Knowledge of the Gann angle along with the Timing coming together at the same time allows you to beat the street 

Question is where is the fall going to stop? 

I'll show you the Gann Angle another time - but you should be asking yourselves "How and Why a price and time projection from 13 years ago has obviously stopped the market dead in its tracks, forcing it to reverse"?

Probably just a lucky call eh

We've got 7 trading days after todays session left until this TC arrives 

Markets getting nice and volatile in the build up to it - you will see that all the "rational reasoning" for the markets increased volatility around these key dates can be poo pooed as we go forward because I'll publish the dates of the TC's well in advance, so that you can see the TC date published months/years in advance and then the "news" around it

This TC due 10th Feb is the EXACT same TC that arrived at the Dec 2018 low - is this significant? Well it's the same TC that's been present at lots of turns for the past 100 years and it was present at the March 6th LOW of 2009 too! Compared to the Feb 2020 TC this one is a tamer TC, but it does move things, this is the TC's 2nd Occurrence since the major TC commenced in Nov 2016

Whatever happens as traders we have a proven TC date very very close - we need to be prepared as we don't know the extent (IF ANY) of any reaction - but to not be alert to the date would be a crime 

ALREADY in the build up to this TC date the 2nd to LAST sentence (What I am attempting to do here......) from the post above is already true

Ignore the candlesticks they "squish" together to fit the chart layout

Kudos to WD GANN and BFC for their works in Time and Time Cycles

Thank you for this valuable information. I am new to the IG community and wish to learn about time cycles. You said, "Kudos to WD GANN and BFC." What if I may ask is BFC?

Hi - No probs, its the Initial's of an author who sells courses on cycles - I don't promote their full name as I don't get rewarded, nor do I want to direct people to buy courses they may not understand or benefit from, so I don't refer to current vendors of trading information in full etc - Anyone Interested in that area will put the work in to research and will undoubtedly stumble across their work, which is exactly what happened to me and how I found them.

Jim Hurst did some valuable work on cycles and Walter Bressert

Hello. Thanks again for the info I really appreciate it. I have been reading your posts and it makes the Gann research that I have been doing make more sense to me from the remarkable content that you give. Thanks a million for this! I took your advice from an earlier post where you mentioned Larry Pesavento. I had read "Astro Cycles" a couple of years ago so I went back and reread it. I found that this book has some of the same long term cycles as James Langham's "Cyclical Market Forecasting Stocks and Grain" and Sepharial's "Law of Values". Like Gann says somewhere in one of his books "the cycles do rule" well it wasn't worded like that but YOU know what it says(lol). Have an awesome week THT!

No probs, you too- Seems like you've been putting the work in, well done - not many people do this

Don't go down the Astrology route would be my advice

I think Larry P focuses a lot on harmonic shapes / patterns 

I wrote on this site a "How to Win" thread too - but cycles control everything, all you have to do is strip out the cycles of Influence on a market and you have its roadmap forever and like Jim Hurst looked at, some or most of those cycles could just be simple box standard multiple static cycles

This is a simple composite cycle of the SP500 - as you can see (RED line) it bottomed and turned up in June 2022, people will say it failed as the SP500 (BLUE line) bounced then fell lower - This is perfectly allowable, the fact that a new price low has happened tells you something about the cycle in play and prepares you for the next few months, the cycle hasn't failed, it's just slightly out of sync with the cycle that is driving price downwards, The Comp cycle Index is made purely from static cycles present in the SP500 and is a pretty good guide to the sp500's direction

All you have to do is make 4-6 Composite Indexes of stocks you trade and you can Invest for the long pulls and get out when downturns

I have started reading "Profit Magic of Stock Transaction Timing" by Jim Hurst. I will look into your "How to Win" thread, Comp cycle Index, and Walter Bressert. Thank you for your guidance it is very much appreciated!

If all you ever did was read Hurst's book - you will have the basis of predicting any liquid market you choose, knowing roughly when to buy and when to sell out of the big cycles is all you need to outperform  - the vast majority of people will go hunting this Indicator, that method etc in vain, when all you need to do is work out static cycles and bingo

the TC's on this page are Gann related and different to Hurst's - but I can tell you, all you need is Hurst's and you can turn the tables on any market you choose to

I've made my thread's purposefully complicated as I knew from the start very very few people would see the light, So my thread's are not fully insightful on everything - however, you've hit the nail on the head with Hurst's cycles - build the envelopes if you can, it is amazing at how accurate they are

I recently bought HSBC in 2020 in my SIPP and ISA and sold recently after a 100% price advance - Based SOLELY on the cycles applicable to HSBC based off Hurst's work from that book - for the past 12 years HSBC has oscillated in an up down sequence of 2 years up, 2 years down - all you have to do is join the ride for 50%+ moves in BOTH directions

Congratulations on the trade that is awesome! I will be catching the HSBC as well in due time thank you for the info.

I am on chapter 4 of Hurst's book it's referring to the making of the envelopes. So far it's counting the weeks between the lows. I will learn how make the envelopes and use it in my trading thanks to you.

Went through your whole time cycle threads maybe a month ago. I gained a lot of insight from them. The accuracy of the forecasts years in advance are phenomenal.

I have an eagerness to learn Gann and the cycles. I've read 60 of the Gann recommended reading books.  Any further advice or guidance that you have for me is gladly appreciated and WILL be put to use.

Thanks - Some TC's work, some don't, the key is being aware of them in the first place

Use TC's, Hurst cycles and Geometric work I show on the how to win thread and you'll gain a massive knowledge on the markets

You only need the Hurst cycles -3 maybe 4 of them on the same market and you'll kill it - you don't need to know Gann's reading list and we don't need to know every move of the market - all you need to know is assumed market direction, wait for it to be confirmed and then exploit the move to your advantage

Gann taught basic form reading skills in his courses, that are still applicable today - Right now the SP500 Index and FTSE100 Index are potentially forming one of his "forms" right now on daily charts

The sp500 comp Index I use, suggests direction is bullish, the market is bearish but showing not strong bearish and its getting very close to a possible bullish reversal formation that appears at lots and lots of low points - from a trading perspective we just wait for confirmation and then take a position, if the possible bullish set-up is invalidated by price action then no trade is taken - simple!

Also notice this is happening right at a 50% level too, which I've previously written about in the how to win thread

If all you ever did was pick 10 highly liquid stocks to trade/Invest in and applied what you'll learn in the Hurst book to them, you would smash trading and Investing forever 

On Hurst - The forward projection of the envelopes was my "wow" moment.  The centered MA's are a guide only, not always precise, but they are good, Hurst also published "average" lengths for various cycles from studying 1000 usa shares - these will exist forever and you need to remember that they are an average, which means variance either side of the average - i.e. The HSBC has a low to low cycle of X-Y days/weeks/months, with the average somewhere in the middle

Good luck with your trading journey - you're on the right track

It is very interesting that Hurst has a 10 day and 20 day nominal cycle and Gann mentioned in his "Master Stock Market Course" a 10 day and 20 day cycle. I'm still learning. Thank you THT for the direction.

Here's key dates for 2023 - As it states on the chart that bundle of Time Cycles were present right at the highs in 1987 

I'm NOT saying that 1987 is going to happen in 2023 - all I'm saying is "The EXACT same cycles that bunched and caused the 1987 crash all bunch and arrive in a 2 month period in 2023"

So I would expect the period Feb-April 2023 to be a fairly volatile period 

As you can see these are linear progressions of Time Cycles from a starting point - not all these dates will have much of an effect on the market - but as I've proven, some of them DO

As the great WD Gann said "When TIME is up the trend CHANGES"

Prepared this chart years agoooooooooo in 2016 - YET ANOTHER spot on forecast/prediction - published here well before the "events"

We don't live in the world that 99.99% of people believe we live in

REMEMBER - The USA stock markets are UP until 2034 when it all comes tumbling down

    • EUR/USD had a look lower but is treading water for now; while the ascending trend has been broken, it might resume and there are bullish bearish and perspectives for EUR/USD. Which will prevail?   Source: Bloomberg   Forex Shares EUR/USD Market trend Euro United States dollar Daniel McCarthy | Strategist, | Publication date: Tuesday 06 June 2023  EUR/USD has recovered from the 10-week low seen last week at 1.0635. This was only a fraction below the 78.6% Fibonacci Retracement of the move from 1.0516 to 1.1096 at 1.0640. This may see the 1.0635 – 40 area set up as a potential support zone ahead of the prior lows at 1.0525, 1.0516, 1.0483 and 1.0443. The longer-term 200- and 260-day simple moving averages (SMA) are in among the cluster of lows between 1.0443 to 1.0525 and might lend support. Since breaking below the trend line established from a series of lows seen between September and November last year, the price has remained below the 10-, 21-, 34, 55- and 100-day SMAs. This could suggest that short and medium-term bearish momentum might be intact. On the flip side, the price remains above the 200- and 260-day SMAs, which may suggest the underlying longer-term bullish trend is yet to be undone. A break above the trend line axis has the potential to reinstate the ascending trend. It currently dissects with the 34-day SMA near 1.0875. The 34-day SMA has just broken below the 55-day SMA, creating a Death Cross. Similarly, the 21-day SMA has also created a Death Cross by crossing below the 100-day SMA. A Death Cross is a potential signal for an evolving bearish trend. In April and May, a series of highs were seen in the 1.1075 – 95 area and this might offer a resistance zone. In the bigger picture, a clean take out of these levels may confirm the resumption of the ascending trend. These tops created an extension of a Double Top formation that heralded the sell-off last month. It should be noted though that past performance is not indicative of future results. The neckline from this formation is at 1.0942 and it might offer resistance. The price action on Monday saw a Spinning Top Candlestick emerge which may indicate indecision in the market for EUR/USD direction, potentially setting up a range trading type environment. As laid out above, there are mixed signals in EUR/USD for now.

    • Beginners' guide to fundamental analysis Use fundamental analysis to identify markets that are under- or over-priced, by looking at the economic and financial factors which affect their value. Learn about fundamental analysis and how to use it in your trading. Source: Bloomberg   Shares Fundamental analysis Investment Price Value investing Profit  Callum Cliffe | Financial writer, London What is fundamental analysis? Fundamental analysis is a means of measuring a company’s actual or ‘intrinsic’ value by assessing economic and financial factors, such as a balance sheet, macroeconomic indicators and management forecasts. Most companies’ share prices will not always reflect their intrinsic value, as market prices are driven by rational elements – such as a company’s ability to generate revenue and profits – as well as irrational factors, such as market sentiment towards a company and media perception. Fundamental analysis is used to estimate the intrinsic value of a stock, ignoring short-term trends and investor enthusiasm, to determine the true price that a company should be trading at. Once you know the intrinsic value of a stock, you can compare it to the market price. You’ll then be able to tell whether a company is undervalued or overvalued – giving you an indication of whether to buy or sell the asset. For example, if a stock was overpriced, it could decline at some point in the future and if the stock was undervalued, you could take a position early and profit if the market value changes to reflect the intrinsic value. Fundamental analysis vs technical analysis Technical analysis is concerned with the historical price movements of an asset. So, you’d need knowledge of chart patterns and what each pattern might mean for the future price movements of a stock. Learn about 16 candlestick patterns all traders should know Fundamental analysis, on the other hand, requires an in-depth knowledge of your chosen market and sector so that you can quickly and accurately identify viable companies based on news reports, financial statements or changes in company leadership.     Different types of fundamental analysis Fundamental analysis’s primary goal is to estimate the intrinsic value of a company, or the value at which the price should tend to over time. This can be achieved using several methodologies, which are often divided in two categories: quantitative and qualitative analysis. Quantitative fundamental analysis methods look at a company’s viability as an investment in numerical metrics, such as profit and loss statements, cash flow statement and market share. A trader would use these metrics to assess how the company is being run, and whether it is capable of yielding a profit. It is with this analysis that the trader might decide to open or close a position, depending on how profitable they perceive the company to be. Then there’s qualitative fundamental analysis which assesses factors that affect the character or quality of the company, such as brand recognition, senior management or customer satisfaction. On the whole, fundamental analysis is focused on qualitative analysis. Popular qualitative analysis methods include: Top-down or bottom-up approach Porter’s five forces SWOT analysis Economic moats   Top-down or bottom-up approach To use a top-down approach, you’d look at global macroeconomic metrics – including gross domestic product (GDP), unemployment rates, inflation, and interest rates – to identify favourable countries and regions. Once the list is narrowed for the top performing countries, you’d identify stand-out industries within those economies, which will also involve analysis the number of companies, average net profit margin and price elasticity. Finally, you’d refine the remaining list to include only the best businesses in those sectors, in terms of price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, profit and loss and other metrics.     The bottom-up model follows an opposite filtering order, going from analysing individual companies and then widening your search to include relevant studies on the sector and country or region they are in.The bottom-up model follows an opposite filtering order, going from analysing individual companies and then widening your search to include relevant studies on the sector and country or region they are in. Porter’s five forces Michael Porter developed a framework that analyses the intensity of competition within an industry, which you can use to understand the likelihood of a company's long-term profitability. It is based on five key variables: Barriers to entry – the threats facing new companies, such as setting up costs Threat of substitution – how likely it is that a consumer could switch products easily Bargaining power of suppliers – the number of supplies available decreases the power of each supplier to make demands Bargaining power of customers – the high cost of switching supplier and low competition decreases the power of consumers who have few alternatives Competitive rivalry – intense rivalries can drive brand loyalty and encourage strategic concentration   SWOT analysis SWOT analysis is a method that’s focused on identifying a company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and any threats. Strengths and weaknesses are internal attributes of the organisation – such as talent or brand reputation – while opportunities and threats are based on the external environment, for example a country’s legislation or how fast the industry is growing. This type of analysis is designed to facilitate a purely fact-driven assessment of an organisation, avoiding any emotional and inaccurate decision making. It can help guide you toward businesses that are more likely to have long-term success in their industry.   Economic moats The term economic moats was first coined by Warren Buffett, as a way of describing a business´ ability to maintain a competitive advantage over its opponents over time. The metaphor of a medieval castle is used to solidify the idea of protecting a firm’s profits from outsiders. Investors should look for businesses that currently have, and will be able to maintain, a competitive advantage. This allows the company to outperform the market over the long term, and hopefully secure you a profit. The main ways of creating an economic moat are:   How to use fundamental analysis You can use fundamental analysis to identify buy and sell signals in the market of your choice. If your fundament analysis indicates the asset is undervalued compared to its intrinsic value, you could opt to buy the market – and if it was overvalued, you might see it as an opportunity to go short. The way you use fundamental analysis will depend on your style of investing and your trading goals.   Value investing Value investing seeks to identify potentially undervalued companies. Key metrics that are used include a low price-to-book or P/E ratio, economic moats and a high dividend yield. Value investors look to buy comparatively cheap companies with secure long-term prospects. Benjamin Graham is considered by many as the father of the value investing and wrote the iconic book ‘The Intelligent Investor’. He believed that in their search for undervalued companies, a value investor will prioritise the quality of the business over the market price. As summarised by Graham’s famous student, Warren Buffett, ‘It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price, than to buy a fair company at a wonderful price’. This investment style is generally intertwined with contrarian investing, as they both argue that going against the crowd or prevailing sentiment at the time (buy when everyone is selling, sell when everyone is buying) tends to offer positive rewards.   Growth investing Growth investing was developed by Thomas Price and popularised by Philip Fisher with his book ‘Common Stocks and Uncommon profits’. It focuses on companies with a high growth potential even if share price appears expensive in terms of metrics. Instead of investing in an already established company, the investor will take a risk on companies that have the potential to continue growing at a higher-than-average rate. Growth companies are found predominantly in the technology or pharma sectors.   GARP investing A growth at a reasonable price (GARP) strategy blends aspects of both value and growth investing, with investors seeking companies with exponential growth but at a competitive price. Popularised by investment manager Peter Lynch, and developed with his book ‘One Up on Wall Street’, it uses a financial ratio called price-to-earnings growth (PEG) as its main way to identify attractive companies. Once a company is analysed, it is divided into one of six different categories based on growth potential: slow, stalwart, fast, cyclicals, turnarounds and asset plays. A concrete metric is given to each, helping to identify growth shares that are trading at a reasonable price. Lynch also uses subjective criteria such as the customer’s satisfaction. As an example, he claims that his best investment in Taco Bell was driven by the fact that ‘he like their sandwiches’. Pros and cons of fundamental analysis Pros of fundamental analysis Fundamental analysis helps traders and investors to gather the right information to make rational decisions about what position to take. By basing these decisions on financial data, there is limited room for personal biases. Rather than establishing entry and exit points, fundamental analysis seeks to understand the value of an asset, so that traders can take a much longer-term view of the market. Once the trader has determined a numerical value for the asset, they can compare it to the current market price to assess whether the asset is over- or under-valued. The aim is to then profit from the market correction. Cons of fundamental analysis Fundamental analysis can be time consuming, it requires multiple areas of analysis, which can make the process extremely complicated. As fundamental analysis takes a much longer-term view of the market, the results of the findings are not suitable for quick decisions. Traders looking to create a methodology for entering and exiting trades in the short term might be better suited to technical analysis. It is also important to consider the best and the worst-case scenario. While fundamental analysis provides a more well-rounded view of the market, it is possible for negative economic, political or legislative changes to surprise markets.
