Back in the third quarter of 2017, we shared a short Trader’s World article about “Mr. Gann’s
90-Year Cycle”. In that article, I argued that we were probably near a bull move for Soybeans.
Actually, there were several additional Gann-ish reasons to think the lows were in and a bull
move was likely. I had shared more of that work with a small forum of people interested in
“Market Vibrations”.
That forum is not very active as Internet forums go, but I usually hunt quality over quantity
for trading purposes. The fact is that “monster” trading opportunities don’t come around every
day! Still, I’d wager that we will discuss several terrific opportunities as the years transpire. BIG
opportunities have happened for many decades and probably will happen again (and a-Gann and
a-gain).
While hunting those trading opportunities, we have to be both patient and alert. Our diligence
and discipline are often “deciding factors” for success. Even then, we can end up with losing
trades or even nice trades that don’t turn into monster trades. For that reason, risk management
and trading skills are also very important.
In past Trader’s World articles, I said that I would provide occasional updates. To fulfill that
“prophecy”, I’ll show an updated chart for beans. But first, the following chart duplicates one of
the monthly bean charts from the previous article. I present it to prevent you having to hunt
down the older article. It shows that we were building the August 2017 monthly bar.
There is still a lot of time left before all of the previous article’s thoughts will become incorrect
or correct. I’d love to be 100% correct with all of my long-term “prophecies” in the markets.
However, reality mandates that I may need to adjust my thoughts as price and time become a
record of past events. In other words, what happens in the future becomes reality that I have to
respect. Reality can invalidate some of my past “guesswork” and take me down totally different
analytical paths. That is part of Mr. Gann’s instructions that helps me prevent my “prophetic”
thoughts from turning into pathetic thoughts.
I hope to trade beans long and short and even long again in the coming several years. However,
I must reiterate that the market doesn’t care about my opinions or plans so I’ll have to let it
show me its real intentions as we go. While I’m still hoping for a considerably longer-term bull
move in the grand scheme of things, this bull move has already been sufficient for a trader like
me to be pretty pleased.
A trader’s job is NOT to beat his chest about past conquests. The job is to continually position
their self to make future profits. With that in mind, another reason for this article is to show
the current bean situation in a different light. A larger view of the updated chart tells me that I
should probably be diligent and careful as I write this. For one of a few warning signs Mr. Gann
taught, we have a potential triple top formation here. That’s Gann 101 for “be careful” if you
are long. If we break upward here, that’s Gann 101 as a pretty bullish sign! We’re at a decision
point of sorts where trading risks can be managed. The following chart demonstrates that
I never really know what will happen. I’m no prophet. However, Mr. Gann’s techniques help me
“guess” when real profits are more likely and when to think about taking them off the table. He
even titled some of his published works “How to Make Profits…”. I’m not a very aggressive trader
for the most part so I’ll tend to avoid trading against the trend. In these articles, I’m arguing for
a longer-term bull so I hope the longer-term trend is up. However, if I were more aggressive, I
might even think about a short trade here.
Mr. Gann’s rules don’t allow me to hedge the long trade. His rules do allow me to use a stop and
reverse methodology if I get strong indications of a change in trend. His mechanical system/
rules might be more likely to trade short in this situation but that methodology pretty well stays
long or short at all times while I’m picking my moments to trade. I don’t generally go to the
effort to trade all the time. Still, Point 2 on the previous chart shows that a short trade would
have worked out well. So… each of us can use different Gann methodologies for different trading
styles.
CONCLUSION
I’ve shown an example of Mr. Gann’s teachings working as desired. It was documented in
advance in this magazine. IT CAN BE DONE! Now, we’ve reached a new Gann “decision point”.
These are situations that substantiate my opinion that you should take the time and do the
work Mr. Gann recommends. I’ll warn that it can take a lot of study just to figure out what he
recommends you to do!
Your goal would be to either prove or disprove Mr. Gann’s many teachings for yourself. There’s
no witchcraft involved. Mr. Gann’s work can seem mystical but it really isn’t. He requires you to
work for it. So... you probably should. Read his books at least a couple of times. You don’t need
much else but market data, time, and work.
If you are like me and want to explore the deeper explanations behind the markets, Brad Stewart
of the Institute of Cosmological Economics Institute provides access to resources that can help
forge your mind in the Gann furnace. I’m currently engrossed in the “Law of Vibration” series of
books and “Gann Science” which is a future publication. I have yet to fully test their teachings.
However, I know enough and am already intrigued enough that I’m going to do that test work for
myself. I get to keep what works and flush the rest. That is the Gann way to achieve potentially
life-changing Gann rewards!
I’ll also mention a recent example of a rewarding monster trade. January of 2018 had a short
setup from the “Law of Vibration” series and other Gann techniques. That setup was for shorting
the major U.S. stock indexes. For a trade, Mr. Stewart was long VIX futures call option contracts.
If you were watching the financial news, there were funds that closed because of that VIX move.
We basically saw all-time-lows to all-time-highs in the course of a few weeks. Few traders, if any
before, have traded all-time-lows to all-time-highs in the futures markets (much less in a few
weeks with a further levered option position). It was luck in ways. But it was also very educated
“luck”.
I guess I’m telling you that the man isn’t just selling books! Even if you don’t buy a book, Brad
is generally happy to help you assess your preferences and discuss books and topics that may be
of interest specifically to you. I’ve “used” him in that manner for recommendations. Maybe you
should as well. Your destiny is up to you and the paths you choose.
“I cannot remember the books I’ve read any more than the meals I have eaten;
even so, they have made me.”

EXPOSING THE UNDERLYING SECRETS movements and the repeating patterns and models
that are created from every possible combination!
OF W.D. GANN & DR. BAUMRING
BY LORRIE V. BENNETT This course will teach readers to create tradable
forecasts using several wave based techniques...
The parabolic pattern of the S&P500 is in front of everyone, and usually, once the uptrend
is over, we see a break of this pattern, with higher volatility. To prove what I am saying, we
can look at the past, because a guy said: “the Market repeats itself”. The problem is to
understand how this sentence is correct.
I can resume here the most important bullish trends that followed a parabolic pattern since the
80’s, and we discover also that pullbacks are often of the same magnitude:
S&P500 1982-1987
Here we see the parabolic pattern, ending up with a crash, the famous 1987 crash.
S&P500 1988-1989
Another parabolic pattern, ending up with a sideways pattern and higher volatility.
Here we see again three pullbacks, everyone around 24 points; in the last phase, the uptrend
accelerates, and in October 1989 we see a pullback larger than 24 points; this is also the end of
the strong uptrend, and a new sideways pattern began ending in a Low in 1990, but no crashes.
The pattern of the pullbacks is not that precise as before, but we can see similar pullbacks
around 83 points. In October 1997 we see a fast movement over the 83 points rectangle,
recovered right the day after. A stronger down movement began only in 1998, when the S&P500
moved over the green rectangle with the pullback; you can see the acceleration over it, and the
beginning of a severe drop. That was just a fast, little crash, because after 3 months the S&P500
had already recovered all the losses.
In this period, we see an easy 100 points pullback pattern, which was very precise in 2004
and 2006. In 2005 the pullback was about 94 points. Even here, the first alert came from a drop
over 100 points, in July 2007. We all know what happened then, a very strong drop began. But
the Market did not crash straight away, we see a new top in October 2007, and a downtrend with
swings until September 2008. In October 2008, we saw the crash.
1) During parabolic patterns, the pullbacks have the same magnitude, and a movement
over that range can definitely suggest the end of the uptrend.
2) When the uptrend is over, it does not mean we have to expect a crash straight away. Only
in 1987 it happened, but in the other three situations we considered, it took time for the
downtrend to begin. In 1989 and 1998 we did not even see the beginning of a new downtrend,
because the Market accelerated down for the following months, but the main trend remained
always the uptrend.
Obviously, that’s the purpose of our studies! If we consider the last year, where the parabolic
pattern is evident, we see two similar pullbacks:
This is a short time compared to the studies we made before! But the pattern is clear, and we
saw the strongest down acceleration once the S&P500 moved under 2800 points, the area where
we could see the support in case the Market maintained the “75 points pullback pattern”:
Almost the same, considering these are the two largest drops of a period long 9 years.
CONCLUSIONS
In trading, statements are very dangerous when we try to forecast the future. It is always better
we speak in terms of statistics. If you agree with me, we can state that:
• The parabolic pattern of the 2017 has been probably broken after the breakout and down
acceleration under 2800 points.
• If we see the drop to continue from the top of January 2018, we should pay attention to a
possible support in area 2545-2576 points to maintain the uptrend that lasts since 2009.
• We should not rush in opening mid-term SHORT positions, because Markets usually developed
a sideways movement or new intermediate tops before a strong downtrend.
in the situations where the downtrend began immediately, that movement did not last long; we
can expect the same from the actual drop.
Good Trading!

No one I've ever met in the trading world was an immediate and permanent success.
Maybe they did have a few “lucky” trades at the beginning. But, a lucky trade doesn't a career
make. Ask anyone. Losses start visiting and then decide to take one of your rooms.
But, after you figure what trading is all about, then the market is in trouble. You ERUPT as an
unconquerable, unyielding trader.
One of the most common questions sent to me is, “Joel, if you had to start all over from scratch,
today; with a modest amount of money – what would you do?”
That's a fair question. Especially since the world of trading has changed radically from the days
(the 70's) when you could still find a commodity house with working ticker tape
machines. Now we have at least a hundred additional markets to speculate with futures and
options, some even doing it on their phones. Even crypto-currencies.
I've adapted to the new products available, and have been successful trading them because
I follow the same principles that got me here in the first place. You can too. If you're just
starting out, or had a few difficult years of experience, you're not alone. In trading there is no
success without copious amounts of pain....
Losses in trading are inevitable. But, profits can be just as inevitable if you act on the guiding
principles of speculation.
Like many of my peers, I started out trading futures with a very small amount of money. I
researched trading and methodologies for 3 years before even thinking of placing a trade.
Fortunately for me, the information I found most useful was Gann material. He was all about
the idea of big trends and how to get aboard them with the least amount of risk.
That's the big take-away you should grab on to. Keep aware of trade-risk and the trends will do
the rest.
I traded single contracts of wheat, corn, oats, sugar, pork bellies, hogs, soymeal and soyoil. I'd
wait until there was a well-defined range for a breakout. I'd either get stopped out of my entry
for a small loss or trail my profitable trade with a stop under the previous week's low. Simple
stuff.
Someone who's made more than 10,000 trades and still has money in his
trading account.
Pretty accurate.
Few traders survive long enough to take 10 thousand trades.... Or even 200.
One of the main reasons most people fail is that they're trading too frequently with too little of
an edge. Or no edge – and they've been fooling themselves into thinking that they've got one.
Every time something is written about trading, you see the adage, “Trade with the trend. The
Trend is Your Friend.” Most everyone believes it, but if everyone acted like it really meant
something, a whole lot more people would be making money from their trading accounts.
Maybe it has to do with the problem of not fully understanding the risks of the enterprise.
I had a personal episode that I've never been able to forget which rammed this point home for
me.
One beautiful spring morning in 1980, hiking with a buddy after a cold rain – I slipped off an icy
boulder and fell 25 feet into the rapids on Upper Esopus Creek, south of Phoenicia, NY. People
familiar with that area know that there's an area where the “creek” drops 1000 feet in one mile
The freezing water was 36°, swamping my coat and dragging me under with the churning
turbulence whirling me around and around. I was facing certain death unless I got to the bank.
I was swept downstream more than a half-mile before I found an eddy pool with a broken tree
branch for me to lunge onto.
Even in the relative calm of the eddy pool, the river's current was so strong I barely dog-paddled
it to the bank. And then, dripping wet – a four-and-a-half mile hike to the car with hypothermia
setting in.
On reflection, later that day -- I realized how similar the raging current of the river was to a
massive trend. Massive trends are relentless. If you're in one, just about anywhere you enter is
likely to be a good entry. With a reasonable stoploss order, of course.
My trading became even more focused after that incident. I realized that massive trends in
the market are a true force of nature (human nature) and are to be respected. Appreciated.
Agreed with; never fought against.
From then on, I didn't want to trade anything but crazy-strong trends. If you only trade when
the market you're in is absolutely going somewhere, not taking any prisoners; how hard could it
be to be profitable?
I digress:
When I first started trading in grains and the softs, my main trading pattern was breakouts of
narrow ranges. Gann talked about the importance of “within” moves (narrow ranges), and in his
commodity courses he described how to “square” ranges to be able to find markets that were
destined to breakout. When I found a low risk entry from one of these ranges, my game was on.
Yes, I was fortunate that I read the right material and took advantage of favorable trends which
existed when I started trading. Still, to profit from the moves, I actually had to have money in
my account and put on the trades and exit accordingly.
I didn't have much extra money. I was a self-employed teenager, with a decent math
background and a burning desire to succeed at trading. With a burning desire and $500,
correctly deployed, anything is possible!
At that time, opening a commodity trading account was pretty simple. If you brought in a
checkbook, told the manager your intentions when you came in -- you could put on a trade or
10 and fill out the paperwork at the end of trading. Not anymore. I've seen some account forms
running to 30 pages these days.
But today, there are so many more opportunities in the markets that more than make up for the
complications that come with them.
When I started trading, it cost $65 per round turn. You'd get $10 rebate a round-turn only if you
traded more than one contract at a time. Even so, I was able to make money because of serious
trends.
You want to talk about a serious trend today, about the S&P for the last year? Because of easy
access to the e-mini, anybody with a couple thousand to put into an account can participate in
this low-risk bull move. Will last forever?
Of course not. But that's why you need a low risk, statistically-proven method to trade it. They
exist. Just do a little research.
I already mentioned that my initial trading revolved around breakouts of well-defined ranges.
But what to do when the markets didn't form nice patterns?
Fortunately, I sat on my winnings and waited until one undeniable trend after another – showed
up. I continued with more trading research. I got data from the CBOT from their beginning of
trading (mid -1800's) and studied more cycles and validated Gann's research to the degree I
could.
And entered more trades when they showed up. Suffered through the losses like everyone else.
My research was rewarded. I got an early copy of Tradestation because I'd purchased System
Writer earlier. With more data and with many nights of coding I proved to myself that volatility
breakouts were definitely predictive of future movement, just like narrow range breakouts were
on daily charts.
The big thing I worried about (and still do) is the concept of curve-fitting. At the time anyone
with access to backtesting software was coming up with the “perfect system” with tests showing
tons of profits and very few losses. Never mind that they didn't work in the real world. People
still fool themselves with systems like that.
In the early '90's I decided to expand my education by becoming a pit trader. Usually it's the
floor trader who goes “upstairs” after learning his craft – not the reverse.
Trading in the pits showed me opportunities that I'd heard about but wasn't sure existed. Like,
being able to trade “ahead of size” – big traders bidding or offering tons of contracts at-the-
market and your opportunity to “trade ahead” of them for a low risk trade. And, if the market
I loved the camaraderie of the floor. And the intellectual storehouse of thousands of man- years
of experience trading the markets. I'll miss it forever.
I realized that for my trading to be a scalable business – I needed to know what my edge was –
on every trade I took. As precisely as possible. It was a tall order then, and remains one today.
You'll understand the why of it in a minute....
Ask yourself, how large was the edge of each of the last 10 trades you took?
The prevailing “wisdom” is to never risk more than 1% or 2% of your capital on a trade. Which
still may be too much for the majority of “traders” who basically throw darts when they put on a
trade. If you actually have been making money from your trading, you need to figure this out.
I know you've probably read plenty about money management. And, I'm not going to go into it
beyond this key point:
If you have a 10% edge on certain trades, and only 1% edge on others – are you doing yourself
any favors treating them as if they're all the same?
The only way you can know what kind of edge you have is to use statistical approximation. The
key to accurate edge assessment is having robust rulesets for your trades.
In January of 1993, I had a welcome windfall. I decided to use it by starting a small proof-of-
concept mechanical trading system (called 20-20), trading just 3 markets. 1000+ trades later
it's still going. Proof enough for me that something extremely simple can work for decades.
The great thing about a system like 20-20 is – it gives you a simple, uncomplicated definition of
TREND. If I find a low-risk trade i.e., an “inside-day” breakout or a “ledge” trade, I only execute
it if 20-20 has already entered in the same direction. If not, I pass. Another benefit is you can
use the trailing stop to exit your “adds”.
This ensures I'm always placing additional trades in the correct environment.
Know the edge of the methods you trade. Let the Kelly Criterion help you with money
management decisions. (Read Fortune's Formula by William Poundstone)
Take personal responsibility for your trades. Learn to live through the inevitable drawdowns.
You'll be able to if you've done “worse-case” scenarios in your testing before entering your
trading operations. (Every “real” trader I know has dozens of drawdown stories. It's getting to
new equity highs more than 3 times that really thins the crowd.)
A robust edge, unfailingly applied through the booms and busts – is the secret weapon of the
Invincible Speculator.

July 89% + 47
predictions
How does DeLorean work? Want to know more? Check our website:
Beginning of April 2017 we contacted Tradersworld to to sent research and wrote the first article
for Tradersworld.
Beginning of May it seemed that the outcome was very significant with a hit ratio of around 75-
80%, healthy profits and no drawdown on a monthly basis. Still, it could have been only a good
period. Now, after one year of predictions, it is clear that our time waves and cycles, which are
fractal in nature do work quite well. Below the results for DeLorean predicting the opening trend
of the next day one month ahead:
Quite surprisingly this approach has led to new discoveries that improved our predictions
considerably. A bit unexpected, because at launch of DeLorean it was already good, but mining
the treasure of information below the surface has proven to be very worthwhile. By matching
events with patterns and correlating price fluctuations statistically, we could clearly see its
significance.
This led to earlier mentioned innovations like “Rebound”, new MAPS indicator (ASPtrig), which
resulted in a more detailed 24/7 leading indicator of price trends. The latter indicator opened the
way for other applications far beyond predicting the opening trend of the next day. It answered
the question what delta or exposure the traders portfolio should have according to our MAPS
indicator. Using Options and/or futures traders can easily adapt their exposure.
A very interesting variable for example is volatility. Increasing volatility just recently lead to the
question how it could be explained. What time waves and patterns do cause volatility? What
could cause meltdowns and accelerations up or down in prices? Thus new discoveries have been
made. Firstly “triggers” that set markets on fire in the nick of time and secondly when does a
trigger cycle spark an up trend or down trend? Another discovery has been how to improve the
MAPS indicator to show periods of rising and declining markets even better.
Triggers-panic cycle
Trigger time cycles, consisting of very specific time waves, have been identified which are the
proverbial spark for acceleration. Strong waves cause a meltdown or meteoric rise, smaller ones
an acceleration. These time waves have a very specific nature causing more or less a panic sell
or buy, whereas a price decline can be twice as fast. The strongest trigger cycle will be called
Panic Wave from now on. his panic cycle needs to trigger, when it is at its maximum strength,
a negative or positive time wave to get started. The more negative or positive the triggered time
wave is, the stronger normally the markets, up or down. See where the * has been positioned.

Where to start? Well, that was simple. Just looking at major events and price declines in the past
would do.
So we checked the US presidential election of 7th November 2016. Bullseye! Maybe it should be
labeled as “bearseye”...
We checked Brexit referendum on 21st of June 2016. Bullseye! The next event of course would
be 9/11/2001... Spot on!
Now the question was why did it cause a strong down trend? Then the next step comes in,
checking if the trigger cycle connected to a very negative cycle. If it connected, consequently
markets declined. In addition and logically the MAPS indicator shows for all those periods a
decline as well.
MAPS indicators
Our MAPS indicators which have been developed in November last year show the road to travel
in the future regarding the indices. Nicely in line with price movements of the stock indices,
they show within precision of one or two days how to adjust long or short positions. A top in
the future MAPS indicator predicts a rising trend, a bottom in the indicator a decline. When the
indicator is declining and even more so if declining below zero, markets become dangerous.
Consequently if so writing puts should be avoided because of risk.
In our newsletters we have reported a couple of upcoming events by looking at the indicator.

Most probably the stock markets have only completed the 1st price wave down, the recovery
was just a retrace. Again a wave down can be expected to 2450 in the SPX and 12000 in the
DAX.
Meltdown in the markets- DeLorean, warning hectic markets 15, 23-24 Feb, 2-3 March
As you can look up in your charts of SPX we did experience a steep decline the 15th, while 23rd/
24th were hectic and 2-3 March was also very weak in the stock indices.
In this newsletter we published the chart below of the DAX together with the indicators which
showed clearly that the period until the 24th of January with the indicator above zero and
topping, witnessed a strong market (marked as POSITIVE) while the weak period showed
declining markets (NEGATIVE).
A picture tells more then a thousand words. Below we show another published example of SPX
with indicator (at bottom of chart) that forecasted the markets:
Arrows signal down or up trend. We expected a sharp downturn as soon as the indicator started
to decline on March 23rd. Thereafter on the 27th and 28th it recovered again in the nick of time.
The green bar on the 28th at 16:00 was around the high of the day.
Again, not always an indicator below zero predicts a sharp decline, but almost every decline or
panic shows a relative strong decline in the indicator, most of the time accompanied by a trigger
cycle..
There are 13 wave patterns that are generally accepted as defining the body of R.N. Elliott’s
discoveries. These fall into two groups, ‘impulse’ (trend) and ‘corrective’ (counter-trend) and
within the counter-trend series, there are three main archetypal patterns, the zig zag, the flat
and the triangle.
Each of these have what we term as derivatives, in other words, there are slight geometric
deviations to the archetypes – for example, a three wave zig zag pattern can mutate into a
double or a triple zig zag without losing its overall character and concept – the flat can mutate
into an expanding or running flat whilst a triangle can develop into ascending/descending/
expanding type variations.
Pattern Dimension
One important aspect WaveTrack has developed over the last 25+ years is the concept of
dimension within Elliott’s patterns. This is a much overlooked quality of Elliott Wave analysis
which is mostly misused in today’s new order. Whereas geometric structure is qualitative,
dimension measurements represent the quantitative contribution to the whole. In this way,
applying strict guidelines of dimension that govern each pattern, including the expanding flat,
human subjectivity that so often distorts and misinterprets patterns, suddenly reveals an
objective appraisal of the price movement under development.
In this tutorial example, the expanding flat is viewed as a corrective pause within the larger/
aggregate uptrend. It can be inverted for a downtrend. It begins with an archetypal three wave
zig zag decline labelled minuette wave [a] – this establishes the initial ‘price-extremity’ of the
pattern. In all probability, if wave [a] has not retraced the preceding five wave impulse pattern
by at least a fib. 38.2% retracement, then the analyst must ‘default’ their thinking towards the
expectancy of an expanding flat. It may not always manifest, but probability favours it will.
Another aspect that helps in defining whether wave [a] is part of an expanding flat is comparing
how fast and over what time period it declined relative to the preceding impulse pattern – also,
was the decline a 2nd or 4th wave within the larger/aggregate pattern? If it were a 4th wave, then
yes, its trajectory and short time lapse would increase the probability it was only part of a more
complex correction, i.e. an expanding flat.
Now, we must create some dimensional overlays using Fibonacci-Price-Ratios (FPR’s). Extend
above wave [a] by three subliminal ratios, 14.58%, 23.6% and 38.2%. Any of these will become
upside targets for wave [b]. On extremely rare occasions, a fib. 61.8% ratio can be used, but
these only recur in frequency about a few times in every 100, i.e. about 5-8% per cent of the
time.
When wave [b] develops higher, it must also unfold into either a zig zag, or double/triple - the
tutorial chart depicts an archetypal single zig zag, (a)-(b)-(c). Wave (a) must subdivide into a
smaller five wave impulse pattern and it’s important that it doesn’t break into a higher-high. If
it did, it could be mistaken for a 5th wave within the prevailing uptrend. If it can end below the
preceding high, the origin of wave [a]’s decline, all the better (there are sometimes exceptions
to this guideline).
Extending wave (a) by either a fib. 38.2% ratio or a fib. 61.8% ratio and sometimes using an
equality ratio of 100% for waves (a) and (c) often creates a fib-price-ratio convergence-matrix
Real-Time Examples
A couple of examples show to good effect how a developing expanding flat is predicted into the
future – see fig #2 (these charts have been compressed in order to save space in this tutorial
article). This is Sterling/US$ (GBP/US$) in years 2004-05. It had completed wave (A)’s zig zag
decline from the Feb.’04 high of 1.9139 into the May ’04 low at 1.7482 which established the
‘price-extremity’ of the pattern. The following upswing as wave (B) unfolded into another zig
zag where importantly, minor wave a. ends below the previous peak. When wave c. finally broke
to higher-highs, it sucked-in new long-positioning but it was a trap! The eventual high for wave
(B) at 1.9550 ended at exactly the fib. 23.6% extension area of wave (A). The two other ratios,
14.58% at 1.9393+/- and 38.2% at 1.9813+/- were not hot favourites because they didn’t form
a fib-price-ratio convergence-matrix where minor wave a. extended by a fib. 61.8% ratio came
closest to the high at 1.9621+/-.
Another example take from our archives is the expanding flat that unfolded in the small-cap
Russell 2000 during the market’s correction in years 2015/16 – see fig #3. To the left is the
original forecast from July 8th 2015 when the index had just ended minute wave b at 1295.99.
Wave a had already traded lower into a zig zag, from 1213.55 to 1040.47 and this pattern was
repeated for the subsequent upswing to higher-highs for wave b. Extending wave a by a fib.
38.2% ratio projected the peak for wave b to 1287.02+/-, accurate within a few points. Note
that minuette wave [a] of wave b’s upswing ended below the preceding peak – again important.
Extending wave [a] by a fib. 61.8% ratio projected the exact peak for wave [c] at 1295.99!
For the projected low of minute wave c’s decline, two fib-price-ratio extension measurements
were used – 14.58% and 23.6%. These closely approximated the fib. 38.2% retracement level
of the preceding impulse pattern. The reality came 6-months later when wave c ended with a
price-spike down to 958.48 (see right). This was larger than the original projected lows, even
exceeding the fib. 38.2% extension level and closer to a much rarer fib. 61.8% ratio, but not
quite. But it again illustrates how wave b gave a false break-out signal at the top and how a
huge price decline such as this can be reasonably predicted into the future.
Well, there is a common denominator and it combines a zig zag development for indices like the
S&P 500 and the broader Value Line Index with yes, an expanding flat for the Nasdaq 100.
The Value Line index was selected as a ‘proxy’ for the slight underperforming indices because it
declined from the January highs into a picture-perfect five wave impulse pattern, from 6413.16
to 5699.27 – see fig #4. Using proprietary fib-price-ratios, note that wave (v) five declined by
a fib. 61.8% ratio of waves (i)-(iii) ending at the exact low. That gave unequivocal confirmation
that the decline did unfold into a five wave pattern, not a three, and that a counter-trend rally
would then unfold. But that counter-trend rally must end below the January high. It can be very
deep, but basis the rules of the Elliott Wave Principle, it must end below 6413.16. If the Value
Line index is scheduled to complete a counter-trend rally ending below the January high before
resuming the larger zig zag decline afterwards, then in all probability, the outperforming Nasdaq
100’s advance to higher-highs will also be capped, and that’s where the expanding flat comes in.
Both the Value Line and the Nasdaq 100 are pushing higher from the mid-February lows into
Conclusion
Once wave [b] ends the Nasdaq 100’s advance, it opens the door to another sizable sell-off
for wave [c] within this developing expanding flat pattern. Downside targets are towards the
5977.63+/- area, derived by extending wave [a] by a fib. 23.6% ratio. This was selected over-
and-above the other two fib-price-ratios because this closely converges with the fib. 38.2%
retracement support of the preceding uptrend.
Market commentators are split between the hedonistic-bullish, and the perma-bears, but on this
occasion, it looks like those treading the middle-ground have a more realistic chance of trading
successfully in the months ahead.

In my years of training traders I have learned that one of the biggest things traders often do
not fully grasp and benefit from is how markets expand in range and where they are in that
process.
This article will cover just that; how markets expand and how to best position yourself for that
range expansion. This applies whether you are scalping or going for the bigger trend or counter-
trend trading. Or, whether you are making money management decisions to manage existing
positions or entering new positions.
As I write this article, the crude oil market has had 14 consecutive days of greater than 100
ticks of range. The Emini S&P has an average daily range of over 40 handles. There is a lot of
opportunity in these markets and this is your most basic metric; what do traders think is normal
right now? This is something you should know as a serious trader. How far can the market go
and traders still think it is normal? Or where is the point traders are no longer willing to commit
to an ongoing range expansion and will take the market back into a trading range. These
bigger scale questions open the door for understanding where you are, for knowing how much
opportunity likely remains, and how to position yourself for the best advantage.
Beyond the above basic metric, you can also predict range expansions based on smaller intervals
than just the day. For example, what is the likelihood the market will go out to a new high or
low at a given point during the day? One way of doing this would be to parse the market out
by 30 minute periods of the day and measure how often it breaks. For example. how likely is
it that the market will go out to a new high or low after the first hour of the trading day, say in
Crude Oil?
Answer: 98%
Or, the first hour and a half?
Answer: 93%
Or the first 2 hours?
Answer: 84%
The next question would be, how much range remains for you to take advantage of?
For the intervals mentioned above, that would be 50%, 44% and 28% respectively. A lot could
be said about this, and this general kind of concept is something I have used and worked with
for decades to be successful trading. It is something I call “Market Mapping” and has been a key
component in my success over the years. Market mapping can take many other forms, and this
one is basic, yet powerful.
The next question is how do you position yourself to manage risk within the above framework?
To do this, we use the Smart Patterns Trading System from [Link]. Why? Because
this system utilizes technology that predicts range expansion via cycle analysis, price action and
order flow analysis. Both cycle expansion and order flow tend to lead price movement with a
generally high percentage of edge.
When all these factors are lined up together, you can position yourself to be on the right side and
with good probabilities for success. The rest is trade management. It’s that simple.
Below I have posted a generic table for your benefit that summarizes the above probabilities. I
call it the “Probability to Extend” table. This is based on general data over long periods of time.
In our trading room, we can use more specific data, and the table below works quite well. The
first thing we do is break down the day by period. The first 30 minutes we call “A” period, then
the next is “B” and so on. This way you can read the table and know the general probability to
break:
Let’s do an example: Imagine AB period has ended. You now know it is 98% to break out
of range. Then you can take the number in the Range remains column and multiply it by the
existing range and it tells me how far the trade might go. This is not a guarantee and it doesn’t
tell you when it will do it, but it tells you how much is generally expected. So, if the AB range
was 40 ticks, I am expecting to go to 80. That’s pretty simple. Of course this is only part of the
picture. Now I want you to figure out how to take action.
When this is happening and price is going lower and the Smart Momentum is going higher
over the same interval, then we have a T2 pattern and the market is expected to go lower at
approximately the 84% probability level. I call this a push. The T2 is “pushing” price lower due
to cycle expansion. Next we have the 98% probability breakout “pulling” price to the breakout.
This gives us a push and a pull. The background color change triggers us into the trade, and the
market moves 20 ticks lower.
This pattern occurs over and over again and various forms and at various times throughout the
days and week.
Let’s look at another example: In the chart below, C period was “inside” B period. At this
juncture based on the above table we know we are 93% to break. We got the T2 on the Smart
Momentum tool, then the background color change and then we went 30 ticks lower.
You can also learn to include Order Flow analysis to help or add to your probabilities. When
I use the word “add” I am referring to stacking concurrent or sequential probabilities in your
favor. For example, in the above chart, notice the Trapped Trader Oscillator above the Smart
Momentum. Notice the dot just before the T2 trigger on the Trapped Trader Oscillator (TTO).
We call the position of this dot a “TTO Pump”. This increases the probability of success of the
trade because it is telling us traders are likely too long here and you therefore may be selling at
a discount based on the order flow. When we add these probabilities they tend to increase our
chances for success.
In our trading room we use a technique / formula called Bayes Theorem to compute the chances
for success where these probabilities are “adding” or“stacking”. When they do we can often find
trade opportunities that are well above our current baseline 75% follow through rate based on
our background color changes alone. Sometimes increasing it to upwards of 97-99%. These are
“must take” trade situations and we teach these methods in the trading room daily.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. In this article we have discussed
basic setups that line things in your favor by cycle analysis, order flow analysis, and price action

Many astrologers around the world claim to have found Gann’s secret, they haven’t. Gann
wasn’t doing house wife astrology, it doesn’t work, they never made a public prediction, except
after the event. None of them predicted a top, they have all gone quiet. If you follow these
astrologers you will lose you house. Some are still looking for MH370 plane after 4 years. The
closest you will get to it is Hindu astrology, but there’s an added twist that needs to be applied
to unlock the “KEY” to what Gann was doing. The Hindus also left out “key’. Remember no one is
going to give away the secret to life.
Gann said that he would never real or sell his secrets and this is why his works are coded.
Below is a post on my Inigo Jones weather forecasting page on 13th January 2018 forecast a
top between 23rd and 25th January, it came on the 26th January, one day out. Notice I posted it
at 7:20 am (720 is twice a circle). There’s no one in the world that made a public forecast, in
fact they have been shorting it for years. Gann said you have to find the right starting point. My
main work is on commodities like Gann traded and studied. You can go to my Inigo Jones long
term weather forecaster page ([Link] for the post, but a copy is
below.
In previous articles I have written that low sunspots cause a recessions and depressions. This is
still down to 2020/2022 so being in cash and having no debt is the key. Below is the chart that
was on my face book with the stock market top.
One of my methods I use is sidereal astrology, not housewife astrology. There wasn’t one housewife astrologer
doing Gann that called the top publicly. Its because they don’t know what Gann was doing. Gann went to India
so he understood Hindu astrology. I have applied methods of my own to the Hindus methods to come up with
what Gann was doing.
I have written a number of articles in this magazine on Gann’s “Averaging of planets”, so go back and revisit
those articles.
The low on the S&P 500 was on 6th March 2009 and at 666.79 , the average of the planets using astronomy
of Mars out was 288.5 and the top in the S&P was 2872 , 2880 is 20 x 144. At the top on the 26th January the
planets averaged 225.8 which equalled the days up of 2259.
On the square of 9 chart, 2259 days is opposite 1335 days (bible number) and
666.79 x 2 = 1333.58. The days line up with 2865 and is 45 degrees to the number 665.
My [Link] software (stage one) is very close to being finished at [Link] This will be the
only pure Gann, that’s no indicators, because if you are doing pure Gann you don’t need them. Its been 36
years in the making, being 36 years of study.
David has been using and studying the methods of [Link] since 1983. Also studying
weather cycles and sunspot cycles of Inigo Jones for the last 20 years. Currently getting
developed a [Link] trader program that’s pure Gann, which should have stage one ready
by end of February 2018. It has taken 36 years of study to understand how this program
should be developed. It won’t be expensive like all the others. Watch my face books for update.
The ability to detect and extract cycles from data series comes in many shapes and forms,
and the academic and trading literature is rife with examples. We have been using our own
methodology since 2011 and we’ve made it available through the OddsTrader app.
We recently concluded a new test in real time, where we predicted the price targets and cycle
turns for the next 6 months for a portfolio of 25 stocks picked by Goldman Sachs. The original
study can be found here and here. The results were published in January. And while the focus
in publishing the results was on our ability to accurately predict the price targets, it’s worth
mentioning that 99% of the cycle turns proved to be accurate as well.
This time we offer a new test: predicting the cycle turns for the G10 currencies for the Second
quarter. While users of our indicators can see the exact cycle dates, here we’ll limit the number
of forecasts to three per pair, and we will narrow the accuracy to early, mid or late month level.
So here we go (analysis performed on March 10th, 2018):
EURUSD: upside target 1.29, support at 1.14, Second quarter Cycle turns: mid-April, early May
and early June.
GBPUSD: upside target 1.46, support at 1.3, Second quarter Cycle turns: mid-April, early May
and early June.
USDJPY: upside target 116.5, support at 101, Second quarter Cycle turns: early April, early May
and early June.
USDNOK: upside target 8.5, support at 7.35, Second quarter Cycle turns: mid-April, mid-May
and mid- June. The USDSEK shares similar characteristics.
USDCHF: upside target 1.01, support at 0.89, Second quarter Cycle turns: late April, mid-May
and early June.
AUDUSD: upside target 0.85, support at 0.71, Second quarter Cycle turns: early-April, mid-May
and late June. The NZDUSD shares similar characteristics.
USDCAD: upside target 1.33, support at 1.19, Second quarter Cycle turns: late April, mid-May
and early June.
As impressive as our past forecasting results have been, we want to point out that there is a
very important distinction between forecasting and trading, and we will rarely trade a price
target or cycle turn without confirmation. Hurst said the same thing some 50 years ago. He
personally advocated the use of a “valid trend line”. The traditional way of doing this is to look
It should be pointed out that we use the term Pivot Line not in the traditional sense of the term,
but as a line that is used to show the beginning and end of periods when long/short action is
advised. It is designed to work on all instruments, and in any time frame. Here’s an example
from our indicator collection for TradingView:
(Figure 1)
The above is a weekly view of the EURUSD pair from late ’16. The up and down arrows show
where the Pivot Line changed trend and color, while the shaded areas show where the algorithm
detected periods of buying exhaustion.
We’ve designed a similar tool for our new NinjaTrader add-on. As you can see from the chart
below (Figure 2), the Pivot Line indicator works seamlessly with channels, and is invaluable at
pinpointing reversal and support/resistance levels.
On the gold chart below (Figure 3), you’ll notice that the swing duration and profits differ
for upswings and downswings dependent on whether the instrument being examined is in
an uptrend or downtrend. For the period July – December ’16 gold was in a downtrend, and
down swing duration and gains outperformed counter-trend swing duration and gains. The
opposite happened afterwards, when gold started an uptrend, and bullish swings and profits
outperformed counter-trend swing duration and profits. In other words, you can expect to
make more money trading with the trend, while chasing every downswing (after accounting for
slippage and commissions) may lead to frequent whipsaws and the accumulation of small losses.

GANN KNEW –
WHAT GOES UP MUST GO DOWN ..
APPARENTLY.
by Jon Kirk
There are no shortcuts to trading, and particularly when it comes to GANN, you have to do the
work; that work is rewarded in many ways, Profits, obviously, but more substantially a greater
understanding.
Given most people want to talk about profit I guess that’s what we must do. So let’s analyse the
last move on the S & P and see if Gann or you would have made a greenback or 2 !
Here is how the week at our last workshop in Krabi, unfolded, by the way it was no coincidence
we selected that date. I’ll give you the Geometric solution to an Astronomic problem, probably
more than I should, but that’s how we roll, and show how the Gann Mechanical rules may have
paid for lunch!
This and much more was what we taught in the workshop, including solid stop and profit taking
strategies. In fairness to the attendees I won’t expand on that in this forum.
Do you think Gann may have been watching the end of January? There were a number of
markers there for a change in trend, even if you did not think it would be as large as it turned
out. It is well worth noting that GANN traded consistently when in a campaign, that is he took
profit from both sides of the market.
Firstly, we were approaching his February Seasonal date, there were a number of Astro cycles
came in right at the high, including using the Jupiter Saturn Conjunction which he was famous
for talking about. These markers gave us 26/29 January dates as a date to watch years in
advance.
Telling us to watch this time frame – now we drill down, I don’t have a lot of space so I’ll jump
to the daily chart but GANN was also watching the weekly. (75 weeks from July 2016 tops).
Additionally, for those who ‘wanna’ throw some basic astro in the melt Saturn (a GANN favorite)
was:
29 Jan 2016 was a lower top trading into a DB on Feb 10 the final low before the market started
up
The 31st January was a Lunar eclipse.
The mystique of Gann is probably one of the most complex controversial discussions around any
trading methodology, and whether you subscribe to the theorem he used Astro, Numerology or
some other dark art, there is no doubt in my mind, that the Mechanical System was the basis
for his trading success. Note I said trading not forecasting. Forecast or no forecast he used these
rules to trade what he saw.
In basic terms, the lunar eclipse pretty well called the top, but it took to the seasonal date to
break down. You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to track this stuff, but track it you must if
you want to trade anything like GANN.
Here are the shorting opportunities as per Ganns’ RULE 1. A, B, C and D represent the entry and
basic pyramid opportunities based on his Trend Line Indicator.
2531 is 480 degrees (2 x 240) down from the current high on the SQ 9. And my Trusty 1 x 1 45°
lines also acted as support on the day as they did in the May and August
But the world is ending right – or does this market have some form
The ranges down from the 2007 / 2011 and 2015 tops are equaled by this run! You can go
check.
Does the market have a history of this sort of move. Appears to? does not guarantee it will stop
but a breather is certainly on the cards.
Intersecting 1 x 1 angles, our subscribers are well versed in their use. The charts below were
created in real time for a February edition of the S & D letter so please note the last bar is drawn
in as the data set has not downloaded when I created the chart.
You can see the intersection of the 1 x 1 angles caught the market. But it’s too simple this is not
what GANN wanted us to see … or is it?
The difficulty is knowing what to track and how to build your case, then which rules to use to
trade it.
Clearly, we are now talking about trading, not forecasting, building cases for support once you
are short.
The low price actually breached these levels, this is what Gann coined as ‘lost motion’ that is the
train was going so fast it could not stop right at the station.

Their trading philosophy is that you don’t have to be smart to make money in the stock market
but just think differently. All markets present opportunities to make money. You can always take
what the market gives you and make money.
In their trades they cut losses and protect profits. They feel that to make money is knowing how
not to lose money. You will have trades that lose money, but if you know how to cut your losses,
you can have several losses and still be profitable with only one winner. You can be right less
than one third of the time and still make money.
They invest by targeting indexes, stocks, sectors and commodities that have the characteristics
of leaders and with strong earnings, be in a leading sector and has institutional support. They
watch market tops and bottoms and then use the best and safest strategies to profit from the
pending moves. They play trends and solid technical patterns. Each year several big plays do
unfold in the markets and they are ready to trade those lows and highs when the time is right.
This is a philosophy that can change your life.
I had a month free trial for the review and I did see how they profited from a trade giving them
a 9.1% profit from a bounce in natural gas. I really liked the videos and found the service to be
highly educational.

The aim of this article has not been to criticize Elliot Wave theory as traditionally taught, as
there are many sources available now that are very good and can give good results. This Article
is a description of my own personal journey of Elliott Wave analysis and the way I found to use
parts of the Elliott Wave theory, in isolation, to uncover potential trade setups.
I started following the markets in 1987, that is over 30 years ago now! In the early days I was
looking for an analysis approach that would project where markets would be at some point in
the future, and the Elliott Wave Theory seemed to fit this bill. Therefore, I started to look into
this, following it in more detail.
Over time, I began to become disappointed and frustrated that so often the markets did not
unfold as anticipated, and how standard Elliott Wave teachings used alternative counts and
ever more complex corrective patterns to try and make the patterns fit in when markets did
not unfold as anticipated. I found this very frustrating, but I did like some of the things that the
Elliott Wave theory promised, so I did not give up.
As I worked with it I realised that much of the time Markets appeared to be random, with no
discernible pattern. This observation seemed to be backed up with a number of books being
written at the time on how markets were random. But how could the Markets be random if we
had Technical Analysis, which used patterns (not just Elliott Wave) with the aim of projecting
future Market movement?
It then struck me, what if both theories were correct? Where Markets were both random and
predictable, but the Markets went through phases where part of the time they were random and
part of the time they were predictable. In other words, they went through cycles.
With this in mind, I then came back to look at Elliott Wave theory again, and in particular the
parts of the theory that were the simplest and easiest patterns to find. The easiest of all was
the simple ABC correct. To my joy, the most common place this was found was in the Wave
(2) correction. Why was this important? After a Wave (2) correction the Market then very
often made a Wave (3) swing, and the Wave (3) swing is usually the strongest and longest in
a completed 5 Wave sequence. If you could find the end of the Wave (2) swing to then try and
enter a trade as this Wave (2) swing was ending to trade the Wave (3), this would represent a
trade setup that had a large potential profit for the smallest initial risk. In other words, when the
trade went as anticipated the profit would be much larger than the losses, conversely, when the
So far so good, I now understood why the Elliott Wave Theory, as traditionally taught, seemed
to break down so often, because Markets go through cycles swapping between randomness and
predictability. The question then became how to make use of this?
For this I had to look at multi-time frame analysis. Where, I started to look at the higher time
frame charts and see when markets entered support or resistance zones on these higher time
frame charts. When this started to happen, the assumption was made that markets were
starting to leave their random phase and enter a more predictable phase.
With the market becoming more predictable on the higher time frame, we could then start to
look for trade setups on the lower time frame. In other words, we were only starting to look for
Elliott Wave Patterns “in isolation”, once the larger degree position started to become clear. The
Isolation Approach to Elliott Wave Analysis was then born!
A recent example of this is on the EURCAD Chart, where we first look at the higher time frame to
see when the Market started to make meaningful support at one of our MTPredictor DP Support
zones:
As you can see in the Chart above, on the 4hr Chart the market was starting to rally (find
support) off the DP support zone, which was taken from the last swing low.
So now we could assume that this market was starting to come out of its random phase and as
This was then followed by a correction, but not just any correction, one that sub-divided into
a minor ABC pattern. In Elliott Wave terms this is a potential Wave (2). We then use Fibonacci
clusters to determine a potential support zone for the end of the minor Wave C swing.
If the market then made a low at this point and reversed, then the resulting rally was likely to
be a Wave (3), and as outlined earlier, because a Wave (3) is normally the strongest and longest
swing in a completed 5 wave sequence, this represented the potential for a large profitable
swing in the Market.
Remember, professional traders are not looking to project or forecast the future, they are just
looking for potential trade setups, that over time, produce profits that are larger than the losses.
Let’s now move forward in time and see what unfolded:
The end result was a potential Profit of just over 8 times the initial risk required to take the
trade.
Where is the market anticipated (or projected) to go from here? A professional Trader does not
care, and this is the whole point, in that after the market has been in a clear pattern, then it is
likely to return into the random part of the cycle. As a professional Trader, the market has given
a good profitable trade. So, it does not matter what happens next. Professional Trading is all
about what goes into and then leaves the Bank account, i.e. Profits and losses, not projecting
future Market moves.
Please remember that not all trades work out as well as this example, there will always be
losses. The aim, over time, is to have profits that (on average) are larger than the losses. This is
why MTPredictor uses Position Sizing to keep the losses small, but not just small in Dollar terms,
small in relation to the potential Profits.
The isolation Approach to Elliott Wave Analysis has been able to capture a lovely trade setup,
but only as part of a snap shot when the market was in a clear and predictable part of its cycle.
Before this, and probably after this, the market will then return to become more random.
The isolation Approach to Elliot Wave Analysis then become a tool where you can start to look
for trade setups but only in isolation, after the individual Market has shown (by its own actions)
that it is making meaningful support or resistance on the higher time frame.
A similar approach can be used when working with other Elliott Wave patterns, for example the
end of a Wave (5) swing.
A Wave (5) is the end of the current swing. This would be considered a trend termination
pattern, so more care must be taken. In particular, the Trader must look for other reasons why
the current swing may be coming to an end. This is where we again look to the higher time
frame chart for potential areas of support or resistance. The Wave (5) pattern is again applied
in isolation, but the important point is, that the Wave 5 swing appears to be coming to an end in
the same area as higher time frame support or resistance.
Here is a recent example on a 15-min Chart of the Nasdaq March 2018 Future (NQ):
The NQ rallied up into the Profit target for a potential Profit of approximately 2.9 times the initial
risk (ignoring slippage and commission). Again, Position Sizing was used to keep the initial risk
small in relation to the potential profit.
Although this setup is higher risk than the previous one (off the end of a Wave 2) it uses the
same basic idea of applying the Elliot Wave patterns in isolation. The aim is not to try and fit this
pattern in with any pattern coming before it, nor to use it to predict any pattern moving forward,
beyond the initial Profit target.
Although, the end of a Wave (5) setup has the potential to catch the very end of a trend, my
personal favourite setup is the previous one, mainly because it has the added confirmation of
looking for a correction after a major turn has already unfolded at higher time frame support
or resistance. Also, because the Wave (3) tends to be the longest and strongest swing in a
completed 5 Wave sequence, as such this setup usually has the largest potential profit in relation
to the initial risk. This setup is one of the automatic setups that is found in the MTPredictor
software program.

In applying Jensen’s Astro-cycles map we find that the US has Midheavens that span the later
degrees of Scorpio to the end of Capricorn with Ascendants that correlate to early Aquarius to
Taurus. What few do is to determine where the events that happen in the heavens occur on
Earth. This is a writeup on Facebook that hopefully brings the possibilities to light.
In this article we will try to answer the why of Facebook’s recent public relations mess in
releasing data to Cambridge Analytics. In March of 2018, Facebook (FB) came under world
criticism for sharing data on over 50 million users, their friends and family without direct consent
of those whose data they shared. The world is in an uproar and the stock has fallen from a high
of 186.10 on March 12 to a low of 161.95 on March 20, 2018. The correlates to a fall of almost
13% in 7 trading days. Why this sudden hit? To understand that, we must travel back in time
to the start of Facebook.
To best evaluate the underlying cause of events, we needed to find the actual birth date for
Facebook. Publicly it is given as 2/4/2004 as when it went online as noted in Wikipedia. The
time is set for noon on the public date and little jumps out as what could really drive this stock’s
value.
1 This locality shift puts Neptune on the Ascendant which gives an impressionability, sensitivity,
a sympathetic, compassionate or innate understanding of other people. Facebook, by building
on relationships, tries to show this element of the chart.
2 Jupiter/Node gives good relationships and connections, an agreeable or pleasant contact but
when poorly energized disharmonious or anti-social conduct in associations can occur.
But what about other events that could have been considered its birth? Additional study of the
history of Facebook shows a surprising back story that helps to build a better natal chart.
In late October of 2003, Mark Zuckerberg was a sophomore at Harvard. He got dumped by a
girlfriend and got drunk. That night he decided to write some code for a website that would be
known as FACEMASH.
He states he wrote the code in one night and then got the data used for the website by hacking
into Harvard’s database. By working thru articles in the Harvard Crimson student paper an initial
date of 11/3 is reached due to notices of privacy violations and copyright violations that were
sent to Mark about the website.
A note that FACEMASH (Facebook’s predecessor) was opened on 10/28/2003 is eventually found.
Giving a day to write code and a day to organize the date of 10/26/2003 as the point where the
code writing began, which would represent a possible date for the birth of FACEMASH/Facebook.
Note that a key feature of the February 4, 2004 chart is present, as Neptune is still located on
the ascendant of this locality chart for Palo Alto, Ca. But further investigation shows that this
chart matches the events that created Facebook and its overall history as a Social Media/Friends
and Family connector and its current publicity issues.
Neptune in Aquarius gives a person with hopes and wishes noble aims but also insincerity,
fraud, a person who is easily influenced by other people, easy yielding to temptation. This
correlates with Facebooks history, as it is noted that Mark Z hacked Harvard’s network for
pictures and data for students to create FACEMASH. As subsequent lawsuit suggested, issues
as to where the actual creative idea came from were resolved by giving IPO shares to two
individuals.
Venus is on the Midheaven of the October 2003 chart when relocated to Palo Alto, and it is
also in opposition to the Node. This aspect would be present in a Harvard locale chart as well,
and its influence creates a disharmonious love-union (girlfriend dumped him). This aspect also
gives a lack of adaptability, little endeavor to oblige other people, a disagreeable nature, fraud.
By placing Venus on the midheaven, when the energy between the node and Venus is balanced,
there is a sense of beauty and art to the chart, but when stressed, the presence of vanity and
conceit, self-admiration, and jealousy are strong features of this chart. Some would suggest
that this is a clear picture of Facebook (FB).
Also, within this chart are hidden aspects and relationships that go beyond the scope of this
article, but key elements of those aspects are:
Facebook’s whole gimmick is one of a friends/family connection which is strong as its Venus/
Node opposition is on the Midheaven, giving “an affectionate nature, an obliging and cordial
manner, a harmonious relationship to other persons, a love affair. And it was good, but with
NEPTUNE mixed into the aspect in a Mundo square of Ascendant to Midheaven, the deceit, fraud
and other nefarious activities of NEPTUNE color the Venus with illusion and disharmony.
In the middle March of 2018, news broke that Facebook was sharing data with companies
working with American presidential campaigns (Trump and Obama), which has not been received
kindly. The first mention of the story was on Nov 19, 2016, and its tie to a Facebook quiz that
Looking for the celestial trigger for this release brings up the Jupiter yearly retrograde motion
on March 9, 2018. The retrograde motion was at 19-23 Scorpio, which directly influenced the
NEPTUNE/VENUS/NODE natal points. Given the breaking news and resulting price collapse, it
appears that the retrograde Jupiter has revealed the worst of Facebook’s nature. Interestingly,
the initial report of the Facebook/Cambridge Analytics tie was when Saturn was at 16
Sagittarius, a point related to Facebooks retrograde natal Saturn.
Jupiter will end its retrograde action 7/11/18 at 13 & 10 Scorpio and finish its 3rd pass over 20
Scorpio on the 9/19/18 time frame. Then it will hit an event with Saturn on 1/19/2019 at 13 Cap
or opposite the Natal Saturn position. This will likely be the worst event for FACEBOOK.
If I were trading FB, at this point I would look for points to go short into the July 11 time
frame. Expect a slight move back up, and then another period down into Jan of 2019, at least.
Given that Saturn is the discipliner, and as it is retrograde, I expect that legislation seeking
to take control of social media as a public utility could occur. Mark Z is not going to be able
to talk himself out of this situation as it goes to the very essence of FACEBOOK in its origin
and function. There are changes coming, the question is, will it resolve these weaknesses in
Facebook’s chart.
Another interesting point is that when the difficulties began for Facebook, many other TECHS
began having issues, i.e. those located in Silicon Valley or those corporations that share the Palo
Alto ascendant of 11 Aquarius. Amazon is based in Seattle and that is why they are avoiding
much of this conflict in the social media world.
These observations are a small sampling of the deeper principles of astrology that Gann and the
great ancient astrologers used. In my forthcoming course, The Law of Vibration by the Planets,
I will introduce a new, advanced system of astrological market interpretation based upon Gann’s
most secretive and hidden astrological principles decoded from his most mysterious work, The
Tunnel Thru the Air.

By reading this publication, you are doing the right thing; you care about your money.
If you don’t care about your money, nobody else will!
Most people leave it up to a fund manager to operate their financial future. For those, who do so,
the development of an index (DOW, S&P 500, Russell 2000) is what you can expect.
If you do so and markets fall, as they did in 2008, you will cut your account in half in the matter
of a short period of time.
Operating in the financial markets means that you meet professionals that are prepared for
winning: Those who enter and fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
However, when you are well prepared, many opportunities are available for you in your IRA or
any type of an account:
• Be a real estate investor in $100 investment increments, with no closing costs and no
attorney reviews.
• Participate in the price development of crude oil or precious metals without the need to store
such at your house.
• Move from being a technology investor to consumer goods in split seconds, without due
diligence and legal documentation.
Thus; not a single action, but a combination of the right actions will make a difference.
Fund managers, by the sheer size of their operation, cannot easily trade in and out of position:
You can, and this is the way for you to beat the fund manager’s performance. To do so,
everything shall start with a high probability trading system; however, there is more needed. Let
us put this into a short overview:
The difference between trading and investing is only the perspective of how long you expect
to hold a position in an asset: Stock, Options, Future, and FOREX. The system, attitude, and
behavior needed to produce success is the same!
Now the key questions: Where are you today and where do you want to be?
Check if you do the following:
Let me help you further and create a checklist for trading success; however, we want to do the
work for you and offer you the following:
• A questionnaire for trading success that will help you to get a straight forward feedback
on where you stand and what it takes to get where you want to be. What we offer here is
that you give us some input on what you trade/invest and how (we are not asking for any
personal financial data and we will keep your input confidential).
• Our non-published book: “Your Integrated Trading and Investing System”, only offered to a
selected group of people, explaining how successful traders follow a system, where multiple
components are working in their favor.
• This is for beginners, who have some resources, so they want to kick start and avoid a lot of
costly mistakes.
• It is also for veterans, who want to excel from a plateau they reached.
• And it is for people in a growth mode, who want to move ahead with their trading.
To gain this special knowledge, we ask you for an investment of $197 (your real-person-
deposit). This is what you will get:
• A personal one-on-one online feedback session, highlighting improvement areas and action
steps to better your trading or investing.
• An electronically written report, documenting the base of our feedback.
• “Your Integrated Trading and Investing System” our non-public eBook, explaining the crucial
steps to trading success.
If you decide to implement what we shared with you on your own: We will not ask questions, we
will leave you with a feedback report and our guide to “Your Integrated Trading and Investing
System”.
If you decide to sign up for one of our mentorships or NLT Alerts, you will get a credit of the
$197 towards your tuition- or NLT Alert payment.
After you made your real-person-deposit, we will send you a questionnaire, which also contains
an example of how it shall be filled in. Again: we are not asking for any personal financial data
and we will keep your input confidential.
The more detailed you can answer our questions, the better we can help you in putting together
a recommendation for the action steps to be taken to better your trading or investing.
We speak from more than 30+ years of experience in trading and investing, with expertise in
working with individuals. We taught and developed a sound knowledge base about the financial
markets, paired with mathematical and algorithmic trading techniques and software, helping us
to identify your potentials and opportunities as a private investor/trader.
We are in the trading and investing education business since 2008 and develop with you what
is needed to turn you into the trader or investor you want to be. Our teaching and coaching is
one-on-one at your best available days and times.
After we receive your filled out questionnaire, we will schedule an online meeting with you to
give you a detailed analysis and suggestions, telling you where you stand and what it will entail
to get where you want to be as a trader or investor. All results will be discussed in a one-on-one
online meeting; followed up by a written report and you will then receive our non-public book:
“Your Integrated Trading System”, for your review and implementation with us or on your own.
To get this questionnaire back, you can send us an electronic version to contact@
[Link] or Fax: +1 866 455 4520
Our response back to you will take between one and seven days.
Please answer all questions, for putting us in the position to give you a meaningful feedback.
We are looking forward to working with you.

Since I learned Andrews and Babson techniques, from Dr. Alan Hall Andrews at his kitchen
table and use them in my own trading, I decided to experiment with the idea of combining the
Pitchfork with the crossover moving average system. This article will show some of the results of
this experiment.
The moving average crossover system enters the long position in the S&P when the fifty week
moving average crosses above the one hundred week moving average and exits when the fifty
week crosses below the one hundred week moving average.
Andrews taught that price makes it to the median line eighty percent of the time and to buy
after a decline and sell after a rally. To make the median line work in conjunction with this
system buy signals are only achieved if the MA system is already long and price comes down to
a Median Line.
After a very long run, price going past the median line for the first time or the median line far
parallel may be used for a sell signal.
Over time the S&P went up and the moving average system stayed long. After price went to the
Pitchfork far parallel an Andrews sell signal was achieved.
As seen
The MA system had an exit signal a few months later and once again took profits. Shortly before
the election another enter long signal was achieved. At this time both the Andrews tech and the
MA system were both calling for higher prices. After the election price went further to the upside,
until finally price made it to the median line where a sell signal was achieved, thereby locking in
the Trump tax code rally profits.
You are going to sit down, open your charts and make something happen. Or, you may just
want to sit down, open your charts and see what has happened. Or, you finally, with emotion
and reservation, enter your trade, see it go south and wonder just what just happened.
It has been a few issues since I last contributed an article to TradersWorld magazine. No, I
didn’t get lazy, I just didn’t have new and fresh material to share, and I certainly did not want
to bore readers with redundant material. It was time to contribute so I decided to write about
our new EminiScalp Auto Strategy, the EminiScalp Shadow. Actually, the Shadow is not really
new, it is based on our EminiScalp Stalker strategy. The purpose of the Shadow is to follow ,
or shadow, the Stalker set ups as they occur during the trading day, and decide if there is a
possibility that maybe the particular Stalker entry may encounter some resistance resulting in a
stop. In essence, the Shadow was spying on the Stalker. The Shadow would assess the Stalker
set up conditions just prior to an entry and if the Shadow thought that the entry may not be
profitable, then there would be no entry. The Shadow would patiently wait, and take an entry if
it determined that the conditions may be favorable.
Our Stalker strategy is great, but I am constantly looking to improve. The EminiScalp goal is
to never get stopped, or actually, to have some profit, no matter how small, on every trade. Of
course we have not reached our goal yet, but I do believe we are close.
Even though the objective of an auto trade strategy is to assist traders with entries and exits,
many still find trading difficult. You may ask yourself, what is your real objective for wanting to
Previously, I talked about our Shadow strategy and what it does. Now, let’s talk about the Echo.
A while ago Jeff Roth from Perfectna contacted me with an interesting platform called Echo-
Trading.
Echo-Trading is a new technology that connects everyday investors with some of the best and
most profitable traders in futures. With the click of a button investors are able to copy or “echo”
the trades of Echo Leaders with a verified track record of success. In partnership with CQG and
using APS (average pricing) technology, Echo-Trading is able to match the fill prices of followers
with the fill prices of the Echo Leader. Leaders can trade options, limits, automated systems, or
discretionary strategies. There are virtually no limitations with Echo-Trading.
For Leaders, Echo-Trading is a way to create a following, and collect subscription revenue
without having to do any work to market themselves other than trading successfully. As a
Leader simply trades their own account, and is not offering advice, there is no need for licensing.
Leaders are free to focus 100% on trading.
For Followers, Echo-Trading provides the opportunity to echo the performance of the best talent
in the industry without the high cost of entry of managed futures or hedge funds. There is no
need to learn how to trade a new asset class, or spend hours reading charts, they can simply
lean on the experience and effort of traders who have done the work for them. Echo-Trading
is without a doubt, the simplest way to trade futures, and offers the average investor the best
chance at profitability.
Very interesting to say the least, and possibly a viable solution for many traders. Let’s see how
the ECHO and the SHADOW can perhaps work together.
Below are screen shots taken on 3-15-18 of the YM, NQ and CL ., The shots were taken
approximately at the same time and show the trade entry areas of our EminiScalp Shadow,
represented by the aqua colored arrow. The arrow appears upon entry. Although our discussion
is based on one contract, multiple contracts with a viable trade management, could possibly tell
a different story.
Chart C
The CL chart above, chart C, shows potential Shadow entries during the same time frame.
Entering the first CL long at 61.77, the price moved 8 ticks or so to 61.85. Not knowing where
the price may go, you could manually exit, for a possible 6 or 7 tick profit. Or, if the strategy
had a tight trailing stop, you may get 4 or 5 ticks profit when the price pulled back. The second
long at 61.74 looks as though it had a nice run until the price reached 61.92 or so before the
pullback. A conservative trailing management would have probably taken you out at around
61.85 or so. If you were sitting in front of your computer, and you see the price moving in your
direction, you may just want to exit manually just to be certain you have captured some profit.
In any case, conservatively you probably could have netted possibly 9 ticks from these entries.
With one contract, that would be $90.00.

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 trading 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 behaviors that repeat 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.
Making money in the market is a matter of being on the right side of the market. Specific to
the futures markets, there are both up and down moves each day that provide many trading
opportunities. One approach to the markets is to look for evidence of major support and
resistance levels based on chart history. Many people ask me which time frame that I look at
for my trading, and by best answer is that I look at all of them. A good analogy would be that
if you were going to buy or short a stock, you would most likely start by looking at a weekly or
daily chart. Why would you approach the futures markets any differently? To put the odds in
your favor, you must find things that occur over and over and trade with this information.
Below you will see an example of a Renko based chart of the Dow Futures chart. This chart has
buy and sell signals. The buy signals are the Green arrows pointing up and the sell signals are
represented by magenta arrows pointing down.
How To Develop a System with a Positive Expectancy using The Highest Probability
Setups
Through trade experience and testing our charts for over 10 years, along with testing under real
time conditions, I have observed that the highest probability trades consist of using a system to
determine points where two or more correlated markets such as the Dow, S &P and the Nasdaq
futures are moving in the same direction as in the example below.
Risk Management
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 I should trade in the futures markets, and how many shares should I 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 stop
orders combined with position sizing. You need to pair a proven strategy along with risk
management. Risk management is accomplished in general by never taking a “big” loss on any
one trade. I suggest that you start by making sure that on any one trade, you do not risk any
more than one percent of your trading account. You will need to calculate before you enter a
trade whether you would be risking more than one percent of your trading account.
To calculate position size you need to know some basic information such as the following:
Account Size
In this example, you would be able to trade 1 contract $10,000 x 1% = $100 maximum risk
Like any profession, you need to be prepared to take on the markets in a structured and
methodical manner. If you study the above principles, you will better understand overall market
behavior and you will be equipped to begin to consistently benefit from the great opportunities
that exist each day in the market.

The EUR/USD has been in a raging Bull trend from the January 2017 low. While it has been
sideways to down off the February high, is the February high a significant high that should last
several months or should the February high be exceeded before a strong Bear trend begins? If
the Bull trend should continue, how high should it go before a multi-month high is complete?
In this article, we will answer these questions and my reasoning and analysis behind the
answers. We are going to look at pattern and momentum/oscillator position to determine the
trend direction and Fibonacci ratio resistance to determine a reversal price range. While the
bottom oscillator used in these charts is a propriety oscillator to the Dynamic Trader software,
any oscillator can be used in which the bearish and bullish reversals of the oscillator (or highs
and lows of the oscillator) correlate relatively well with the swing highs and lows of the markets.
The top oscillator is a Slow Stochastic. This article was written mid-March 2018.
The February potential Wave 5 high is slightly below strong resistance, the 61.8% retracement
of the May 2014 – January 2017 decline. However, with the weekly oscillator Bull (with the DT
oscillator still in the oversold zone), the net trend should be sideways to up for a few, if not
several weeks warning the February high may not be the Wave 5 high. On the other hand, a
weekly oscillator Bear Reversal (when the fast line of the oscillator crosses below the slow line)
above the oversold zone without the February high exceeded would further signal a Wave 5 high
should be complete.
Again, the February high is in the ideal position to be the completion of a five-wave rally off the
January 2017 low, but what would support or void this assumption? Obviously, a rally above
the February high would void the completion of the five-wave rally. A decline below the March
1 swing low would further signal the Wave 5 high should be complete and very likely would be

The trading action in bitcoin moves fast, and it’s not unusual to see daily price swings that are
equivalent to yearly changes in major market indices like the S&P 500. While the “year for a
day” analogy may stretch the credulity of some seasoned traders who are used to multiple
time frame analysis, it’s nevertheless appropriate in the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency
speculation.
It’s interesting to note that the cycles of shorter duration can be especially significant in effective
analysis of this extremely volatile market. They can, in fact, provide some useful guidelines for
short-term speculators seeking ways of capitalizing on the radical price swings which are so
often expressed in the trading action for bitcoin.
At the other extreme, however, efforts to understand the longer-term cycle dynamics of bitcoin
trading are much more tenuous. With less than ten years of trading history as a frame of
reference, conclusions drawn from observations of longer-duration cycles in bitcoin price action
are necessarily much more tentative, and thus offer little certainty as forecasting tools. While
they may meet the minimum requirements for statistical significance, they ultimately seem to
bring a negligible advantage to intermediate-term position players in the cryptocurrency.
As trading in bitcoin continues to progress during the coming years, however, we will be able to
add more empirical data to our research, and will thus be able to refine our understanding of
the underlying cyclic nature of the volatility in this cryptocurrency. In the meantime, however,
what should we be taking into consideration as we look for useful models and guidelines in
cryptocurrency trading?
The answer to that question may lie in the unique connections between cycle analysis and the
remarkable perspectives provided by the astro-trading advantage.
We should note that when we apply our knowledge of planetary cycles to the markets, we
are employing a paradigm which is widely accepted and adhered to in diverse cultures and
geographic regions around the world. That’s true in spite of its more skeptical reception by some
tradition-bound Western traders and market pundits, who either denigrate financial astrology as
Even so, we have found that the best approach to effective astro-trading is to integrate
astrological analysis with technical analysis, with an understanding of key market fundamentals,
and with time-tested tools for identifying market cycles and trend waves. We don’t use planetary
indicators in a vacuum, and we certainly don’t try to trade solely on the basis of traditional
astrological symbolism.
Within that framework, it’s typically best to begin our analysis with cycle tools and technical
indicators, and then see what kind of astrological factors provide confirmation for our
conclusions.
In the case of bitcoin, one of the most significant trading cycles seems to be 11.21 days. While
this cycle in and of itself may not provide strong enough trading signals to be used in isolation as
a sole timing indicator, its correlations with price swings in the cryptocurrency are nevertheless
apparent enough to warrant our attention.
A reference to the classic “day for a year” timing analogy brings to mind the work of Carlos
Garcia-Mata and Felix Shaffner, who published “Solar and Economic Relationships: A Preliminary
Report” in the November 1934 issue of the Quarterly Journal of Economics. They documented an
11.20-year rhythmic cycle in manufacturing productivity in the United States from 1875 through
1930, and postulated that it had a correlation with sunspot cycles. According to later research
But the 11.21-day cycle in bitcoin prices is more than just a microcosmic reflection of sunspot
cycles. It is also connected to the orbital period of Venus.
Venus takes 224.65 days to complete one passage around the Sun. When we look at the
twentieth harmonic of that orbital period, 11.2325 days, we get a close approximation of the
11.21-day cycle evident in bitcoin trading. In fact, the difference between these two intervals is
only equivalent to about 32 minutes of clock time – not a bad degree of accuracy for an orbital
process that takes nearly seven and a half months to complete!
This correlation suggests that it can be helpful for us to take Venus cycles and relationships into
consideration when we look at trading opportunities in bitcoin, but with the full acknowledgment
that Venus is not the sole determining factor in bitcoin price fluctuations.
We can gain additional useful insights when we project twentieth-harmonic planetary price lines
for the progressive positions of geocentric Venus onto a daily chart for the BTC-USD trading
action. While these planetary price lines obviously do not account for every price fluctuation in
the cryptocurrency, they do conform with a sufficient number of trading channels and significant
points of support or resistance to give us a useful sense of the underlying trends and potential
turning points in this market.
In December 2017 bitcoin hit its highest price so far versus the U.S. dollar. That peak in
speculative enthusiasm coincided with a Venus/Mars semi-square, an apparent 45° angle
between the two planets as seen from an earth-centered perspective.
While such Venus/Mars alignments are certainly not particularly rare planetary phenomena, this
specific event gives us a clue about a potentially useful dynamic that we may want to explore in
our efforts to illuminate bitcoin trading cycles – the angular and harmonic relationships of Venus
and Mars.
Even though the remarkable 2017 trading high in bitcoin coincided with an eighth-harmonic
Venus/Mars relationship, we can add twentieth-harmonic planetary price lines for geocentric
Mars to our trading chart to be consistent with the Venus cycle correspondence to the 11.21-day
trading cycle we have already observed.
While the addition of the Mars price lines complicates our trading chart somewhat, it also
provides us with additional insights. In many cases in which bitcoin fails to conform precisely to
Venus price action, it adheres to Mars instead.
Although the interactions of Venus and Mars are hardly sufficient to give us reliable trading
signals for bitcoin by themselves, they do point the way toward other planetary alignments
which may be profitably explored in our quest for mastery of bitcoin trading cycles. Based
on preliminary studies, it seems quite likely that the harmonics of Saturn and some of the
transneptunian factors will ultimately prove to be significant. But in every case, we would be
wise to include Venus dynamics in our explorations.
In the ancient astrological tradition, Venus was associated with value, refinement, quality, and
the beauty of loving and harmonious cooperation. Those are all the sort of attributes that the
most idealistic bitcoin advocates envision as the ultimate manifestation of this ground-breaking
cryptocurrency.
Whether or not bitcoin’s social and economic role lives up to these lofty ideals remains to be
seen. But for active and adventurous traders who are concerned about spotting particularly
profitable bitcoin opportunities, it can be especially rewarding to pay attention to the role of
Venus in bitcoin trading cycles.

Gold Standard
In trading, and in many forms of analytic endeavor, one of the most important principles is that
of synergy. It is not enough that one discipline or cycle or indicator triggers a corresponding
signal. Standing on its own, that lone indicator can be quickly overshadowed by other conflicting
ones.
Instead, it is when a diverse combination of disciplines align - all reaching the same conclusion
but coming from different perspectives - that a more credible & reliable signal is triggered.
[NOTE: It is important to make sure that these multiple disciplines have a reasonable level
of non-correlation. Otherwise, it is just three or four similar indicators reaching the same
conclusion - as they would be expected to do.]
Aristotle observed: ‘The whole is greater than the sum of its parts’.
That simple statement sums up the principle of synergy - describing the combined effect of
multiple collaborative factors or components and their holistic impact. In very simplistic terms,
2 + 2 + 2 is greater than 6 - when each of those ‘2s’ is working in concert with the others. In
manufacturing, the assembly line and corresponding division of labor illustrates this principle
masterfully.
When a trader isolates one cycle or one technical indicator and attempts to utilize it in a vacuum,
it is far less reliable and/or effective than when used in tandem with multiple corroborating
cycles or indicators.
The collaborative effect of those reinforcing factors strengthens the reliability of the overall
structure (or analysis). That is the same principle observed by King Solomon when he stated ‘A
cord of three strands is not easily broken’.
Foreshadowing Fractals
There is another form of synergy that might not always be recognized as such. That is the
‘synergy’ of reinforcing events on a smaller or larger scale and/or on a preceding basis. In
the latter case, I am referring to archetypes* that serve as a preceding example of what could
occur during an ensuing cycle or wave setup (*a ‘type’ or forerunner of something that is still to
come).
In the former case, I am referring to fractals - where the whole mimics the pattern of its parts,
often on multiple levels. Conversely, the smallest observable increment (parts) of that item or
cycle mimics and/or presages the pattern of the developing composition (whole). Before moving
forward, let me define this:
That example (a head of broccoli) provides a good illustration of this principle in which the
pattern of the overall head (single stem, breaking into multiple stems & topped with florets) is
mimicked by each of the main stems (single stem, breaking into multiple stems & topped with
florets) & ultimately repeated in each small bite-sized piece (single stem, breaking into multiple
stems & topped with florets).
If you gave someone a small piece of broccoli and instructed them to draw an entire head or
plant of broccoli - using only that piece as the model, they could easily do it. (In contrast, if you
gave someone a bite-sized piece of orange or banana and instructed them to use that piece as a
model for drawing the entire plant, it would be inaccurate.)
One of the market applications of this principle involves the outlook - and the confirming action
- of Gold in 2017 (and for 2018). After bottoming in late-2015, Gold traced out a larger-degree
advance followed by a proportional decline in 2016. This was perceived to be a ‘1 - 2’ or ‘A - B’
wave structure that would subsequently yield a larger and more complex ‘3’ or ‘C’ wave advance
in 2018.
Golden Touch
The outlook for 2017, published 13 months ago in the Jan. 2017 INSIIDE Track, was to see a
similar pattern on one lesser degree (a strong rally followed by a sizeable decline) - perpetuating
the bottoming phase in Gold while setting the stage for 2018. In a fractal-like manner, that
would represent the lesser degree ‘1 - 2’ waves of a developing 3 or C wave rally.
More specifically, Gold was projected to see a ~4-month advance to begin 2017 (similar to,
consolidation.

Volume shows where the professionals are buying and selling: Professional traders
acknowledge Volume as a leading indicator. We use Volume to confirm the strength
of a trend or no demand. The markets are extremely efficient and will normally return
to fair value. Many traders see Volume as an indicator which signals a price movement
prior to it happening. (accumulation or distribution) Hawkeye Volume is at the heart of
our suite of unique and powerful trading indicators and tools. It’s designed to help you
exploit trends and capture profits from the market. See Trader’s Purchase Options
Stocks, futures and options trading contains substantiaql risk and is not for every investor. Only risk
capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading.
Affiliate Disclosure - This ad contains affiliate links which are a means for this magazine to earn money.
Hawkeye trading software is based on volume, price action and trading activity. The software
uses algorithms that are revolutionary to most traders. Unlike other indictors like moving
averages, MACD, stochastics and other popular technical indicators their software tools their
software tools are based on Volume, and Volume is widely recognized as a leading indicator.
Their tools are designed to work with the current day’s volatility. What is different is that these
tools are based on volume spread analysis, standard deviation of price and pattern recognition.
So they have a suite of indicators that are created to enable traders to benefit from today’s
markets. These tools are available in TradeStation, NinjaTrader, MetaTrader 4 and TradingView.
In using the indictors I found that they were some of the best I have ever used. I used them
with the TradeStation platform. Here are the various tools that are available in the software. This
is a basic description of the tools, but you need to go to their website for a better description.
Volume Indicator – Gives you the ability to see professional buying and selling in the market
Trend+ Stops – You get a true sense of the market trend rather than opinions from the
financial media.
Roadkill - This looks at multiple time frames simultaneously, and provides entry signals
when the trend and volume from multiple time frames are aligned for the best low risk, high
probability entries.
Fatman - Makes hundreds of calculations every second to present a visual picture of strength
or weakness of each currency. This indicator shows you what each currency is doing against the
rest of the major currencies and shows low risk opportunities.
Kiss - Designed specifically for trading stock indices and equities, the Kiss reveals who is
controlling the price - either buyers or sellers.
Levels ATR - This is a powerful series of levels based on ATR (average true range). This tool
shows predefined definitive exit locations and allows for predefined stop loss management. Thus
it helps traders identify clear exit strategies.
Adds - This algorithm tells you visually when and where to add additional contracts.
Gear Box - This tells you which speed to trade the market with every day. It works for futures,
stock indices, stocks, commodites and Forex. It uses a complex algorithm to caclulate the
optimal tick speed of the market for the day ahead.
Hawkeye Zones - If you have been trading any time you know how frustrating it can be to enter
a trade only to find out you bought into the high of the day or sold into the low. This adds supply
and demand zones along with extremely accurate predictive support and resistance zones to
your charts.
A Master Cycle (MC) is an actual historic cycle with a proprietary numerology, that repeats exact
swing Highs and Lows and day by day and is off at most 1 day. The Master Cycle has to have at
least 3-5 recent “hits”, ie it has to have predicted 3-5 recent Highs and Lows, to become “active
and dominant”.
The MC is a Time Series Cycle, ie it predicts future swing Highs and Lows. It doesn’t always
project the magnitude of the Price Highs and Lows, ie the cycle in the past would suggest a
10% rally or decline, but it doesn’t always have the same % rally or decline in the present time.
The Master Cycle can and does fade or invert at anytime, so take it fwiw, as it is certainly
not the Holy Grail, it will not catch every Major swing High or Low and it will have misses that
last for weeks or longer, but don’t discard it or give up on it like I did for years, because when it
is active it tends to be very precise for weeks and months.
Of course we should not expect an exact repetition, but it should give you a general idea, as the
Master Series of Cycles can be amazingly precise. For this reason only, it has worth its price in
gold.
The Master Cycle is calculated in Calendar Days or Trading Days as the MC shifts from one to the
other. The Master Cycle expands and contracts like the Universe, so at times some adjusting,
curve fitting and fine tuning is needed to get the Master Cycle aligned with current market
conditions. It will then reward us by predicting the next swing high and Low with amazing
precision.
Below are 10 Master Cycle forecasts from April 2008 to January 2010:
1. 4/1/08: The MC called for “the 7/16/07H and sharp decline to 8/16/07L”
mentioned in this link: [Link]
3. 5/14/08: The MC predicted the 5/19/08 Major High and sharp decline after:
“High due early next week… I have a Rare confluence of 5 proprietary Cycles, in the
Cycles section of my T&C daily email service, all making the SAME prediction for a Big move in
the coming weeks and months, which to me is very exciting information, as they give additional
confirmation, which gives me a High confidence and some potentially very profitable trades in
the coming weeks and months.”
[Link]
4. 9/2/08, 9/8/08: The MC called the 9/2/08 Major High and sharp decline after:
“9/2/08: The Series recently predicted a 7/28/08L, 7/31H, 8/8L, 8/15H, 8/19L,
8/22H, 8/26L +/-1…We actually had a 7/28L, 7/31H, 8/8L, 8/15H, 8/20L, 8/22H, 8/26L
The Series of Cycles are now looking for a 9/2 Major High”
“We should have a 9/2 Major High and 3 Hard down Days into a 9/4 Lows @
Close”That is exactly what we got (click on chart to enlarge), the actual Intraday Low
arrived 2 trading hours later on 9/5 @ 11.25 am intraday Lows, close enough”
[Link]
[Link]
6. 6/17/09: The MC was looking for a Straight Up rally from the March 09 Lows
into early May 09 Highs, which we actually got. It was then looking for a Mid June
Lows” [Link]
7. 8/26/09: The MC performance: “The Master Cycle (MC) performance since the
3/6/09 lows is shown as the green swing lines on the SPX chart. All the swing
High and Low dates are in the archives of the T&C Daily Email for subs and
some of them are also on this blog”
[Link]
9. 10/22/09: The MC predicts a rally through end of the year: “I have mentioned a
couple of months ago, that the Master cycle suggests, we will see a continued
1. 12/26/07 High
2. 1/9/08L
3. 2/21/08 High
4. 4/14/08 Major Low
5. 6/05/08 High
6. 6/23/08 Low
7. 9/2/08 Major High
8. 9/23/08L
9. 11/04/08 Major High
10. 12/17/08L
The MC accurately predicted 5 Major Highs and Lows in 2008, even though 2008 was a
difficult year to predict due to the historic Panic. The MC was off here and there
(red = right, blue = wrong) in 2008, but it managed to make 290 SP’s between June 08
and November 08, when I first started to closely track the MC. It predicted the
12/26/07H, 4/14/08L, 6/5/08H, 9/2/08 Major High, and the 11/4/08 High.
The MC was followed very closely in 2009 (red=right, blue =wrong) , as it predicted a
3/6/09 Major Low of the year (LOY) and a strong rally into 5/8/09 High, with a
secondary Low around Mid June 2009 Low. The actual Low was a few weeks later on
7/8/09. The MC then predicted a rally into end of the Year Highs, which is what
happened (see chart). The MC will not always be that accurate as 2009 was.
1. The MC can be correct and exact sometimes predicting exact swing Highs and
lows for many days, weeks and months at a time. In this time you might tend to
“fall in Love” with this cycle and be impressed with its accuracy, but Caveat
Emptor.
2. At other times, the MC can and will be flat out wrong. For some unknown
reason, the MC fades, inverts or becomes dormant. This could last for days,
weeks and even months. It is best to use it only when it is “active”. I define a
cycle to be active when it gets 3-5 “Hits”, ie when it gets 3-5 Highs and Lows correct.
When it is inactive, you simply don’t use it. I use my other Time & Cycle work to
tell me what is happening. It is best to be patient and wait until it becomes active
again and then trade on it as it tends to be very precise, as can be seen in the many
examples above.
3. The MC does not always follow the predicted Price magnitude, ie the actual
Price rally/decline could be a whole lot bigger/smaller than the forecasted Price
rally/decline as shown on the forecasted chart.
4. The Master Cycle was a gift from God, so for the pure Joy and exhilaration one
gets from giving, I felt the need to share it with others. Also the MC gets the
recognition it deserves.
The Master Cycle (MC) became active and dominant in late 2017 and into March 2018.
The MC became active and dominant with at least 3-5 direct recent “hits”, ie it predicted at least
3-5 previous Highs and Lows.
13. 3/23L
14. 3/28 swing High
15. Another 4/2 High
What’s next: The MC is looking for an 4/2 swing High, followed by an even sharper
decline into April major Lows.

You can ask the program to reveal the most powerful cycles for your financial instrument.
The program analyses all turning points, provides their statistical analysis and
displays the most probable support/resistance levels.
Charting Tools, Fibonacci levels, Pitchforks, Gann Angles and many other
traditional charting tools are available.
It is true that some of these techniques give you useful hints regarding the future price
movement, but still the confusion is there: how I find out what the future movement will be?
Thousands of hints provided by technical analysis cannot substitute the answer to the real
question: when will the next high or low of the market occur?
Timing Solution software is designed and constructed to answer this question. It does not invent
any new technical analysis indicators that many software designers have done already. What it
does do is modeling of the stock market behavior based on state-of-the-art math methods.
The program has a set of ready solutions that allows you to generate projection lines based on
fixed cycles, astronomical cycles and other types of models. All you have to do is download the
price history, click on the appropriate button and then in a couple of minutes get a projection
line that can be prolonged into the future.
The software considers models that deal with natural cycles, cycles that are based on celestial
bodies’ movement. It follows the tradition that ancient knowledge about the Sun and the Moon
cycles is the basis for all calendars. The program allows you to work with all astronomical cycles,
and I can say that they are the most reliable models based on the cycles.
As an example look at this annual seasonal cycle that was calculated for the Dow Jones industrial
Index. The calculation is done for the Dow Jones industrial historical data starting from the year
1885. The diagram shows classical Christmas rally and September drop:
Another example of the cycle is Moon phases. We can say the Dow is high around the New Moon
and low several days before the Full Moon as a rule:
Here is another example. This is a pure astrological view of the stock market provided by four
Bradley barometer projection lines suggested for the Dow:
The above-mentioned models are only a small part of what is available in the Timing Solution
software. You can calculate projection lines based practically on Astro phenomena. Projection
lines can be based on midpoints or transiting houses, or planetary positions in houses, or
planetary dignities, or waxing/waning aspects between the planets, or planetary speed.
The upcoming events module performs statistical analysis for hundreds of astrological
phenomena to show how they may affect the stock market in the future.
The program analyzes tens of thousands of different planetary lines. In this example it has
found only a dozen of planetary lines that fit the price chart. To do this huge computational job
manually is practically impossible.
The Universal Language of Events module allows you to create more advanced models analyzing
everything that occurs in time and researching the effects of these phenomena on the stock
market. Here are some examples.
Or you may create another “astro indicator” like this one that shows how the transiting Sun
conjuncts the midpoints between transiting planets. The higher the diagram, the more midpoints
are hit by the transiting Sun:
The software also does more complicated things and does it very fast. It takes just a couple
seconds to generate a projection line based on non-standard waveforms.
The idea that the stock market is ruled by underlying cycles is the most exciting idea of financial
analysis. Let us look at other than astronomy based cycles - math cycles. These are cycles with
some fixed period - 55 days, or 34 bars (for intraday price history), like in this example:
Then you just drag these cycles to the screen where the price chart is, to obtain the projection
line based on these cycles:
The “Achilles’ heel” of all cyclic models applied for the stock market is the fact that the cycles do
not live forever. Cycles appear and disappear. Not literally, of course. Fixed cycles exist always;
their manifestation in the stock market does not. Some cycles are seen there for a while, and
then they lose their energy and give a room for other cycles. This fact makes a huge difference
between the cycles that physicists study and the cycles that work on the stock market. To handle
these cycles, we have developed a special algorithm (multiframe spectrum) that reveals the
freshest/newly appeared/strongest cycles. To visualize a full life history of the stock market
cycles, wavelet analysis module has been developed. Look at this colored diagram; red stripes
here represent the periods when some cycle is strong:
If you prefer to work with cycles manually, the Easy Cycle module is for you. You simply draw
these cycles dragging the mouse from one characteristic point of the price chart to another. You
can combine these cycles superposing cycles with different periods:
Here the program analyses all turning points, provides their statistical analysis and displays the
most probable support/resistance levels. The red stripes in the right corner correspond to the
most probable support levels. This module is very popular among Timing Solution users.
Planetary Time Charting Tool. This is another kind of charting tools; we calculate the distance
between these vertical lines using angle separation between two planets (Sun-Mars 15 degrees
separation in this example):
We are aware that the projection lines produced by this program are not perfect. There is
nothing surprising in it as the task of predicting the stock market’s behavior is one of the most
complicated ones. The good news is that every year reveals some new knowledge that improves
our models and their forecasting ability. At least, it gives us a hope as we have created a system
that ideally follows our knowledge regarding the markets.

“Brave New World” was written by Adolus Huxley in 1932, following the global market crash and
unfolding depression, which prompted him to publish his concerns about a dystopian future.
He asserted that stability was the primal and ultimate need of civilization. His other major
concerns were over population, consciousness control, totalitarianism, drugs and promiscuity.
Do you think we are revisiting these concerns as a society now?
In his final novel, Island, published in 1962, after exploring spirituality, Huxley imagines a world
where humans are motivated by the pursuit of higher consciousness and service to humanity.
Should our current Brave New World be feared or embraced?
For the record, it is important to state at the outset that this market assessment was composed
on Sunday, January 28th, immediately following the all time market closing high on Friday
January 26th. I then presented this to my colleagues in the TSAA on Friday, February 2nd. The
last time I published my assessment of the market in Traders World was in two different articles
published in late 2007 and Spring of 2008.
Also for the record, my perspective developed from a background in cultural anthropology,
political economy, consciousness studies, and over thirty years as a student of the markets.
In this article, I would like to offer some socio-economic perspective…and also take a look at two
It is important to appreciate that many historical cyclical patterns appear to have become
subordinate to globally synchronized Central Bank Policies and irresponsible sovereign fiscal
behavior worldwide.
The excesses of the last economic cycle have somehow been magically absorbed and dismissed.
Most of this was done on the backs of those who tried to live within their means, while bankers
and those complicit in creating and participating in the debacle were bailed out or forgiven. But
(hey), who cares as long as we can somehow reignite the growth engine again. The next time
the system fails, bail-INS are more likely to be the order of the day rather than the previously
orchestrated bail-Outs.
While no one cannot predict with high probability what the market holds in store for us over the
next few years, I am going to present some cycle evidence, wave charts and point and figure
charts which can be used to argue for either a bearish or bullish scenario….However, I will then
share with you which scenario I believe is most likely and why.
Methodologies
EWT measures the compliment of cycles and mass human psychology. The Wyckoff method
measures the workings of supply and demand in the stock market. Together they provide a
working apparatus for selecting and evaluating market data.
It seems fairly evident which breeding ground appears to have been the predominant mass
consciousness manifesting in the environment over the last number of years?
How one can explain this paradox of bear market psychology amidst a raging bull market, is
challenging at best. One possible way to do this is to argue that we are facing a very large bear
market ahead and the social environment from the 2016 lows is a preliminary taste of things to
come over the longer term.
Interestingly, I would suspect, that even among the rather mature, sophisticated and erudite
readers of Traders World, we could descend rather rapidly into a spitting match over some of
these issues.
To put this all in a broader perspective, I would like to share with you where I think we are in the
bigger picture in the context of my methods. For those of you disenchanted with the application
of Elliott Wave, I would remind you that there is typically more than one interpretation of its
progression, although there is commonly a predominant view. I will share with you what I think
is the predominant view, but I will also share with you an alternate consideration of the market’s
current progression. I do not think that the bull move from the 1932 bottom is over yet.
Here is an idealized Elliott Wave pattern. It is an unfolding fractal which progresses in five legs
or waves, with #1, #3 and #5 advancing and #2 and #4 correcting the previous leg. If #2 is
sharper and quicker, then #4 will likely be broader and take longer. If #2 is of the “flatter” form,
then #4 will likely be of the “sharper” form. Once the five leg progression in the direction of the
larger trend is complete, then a correction of larger magnitude is expected. This progression
is considered to operate from the smallest degrees, occurring intraday to ever larger degrees
occurring over years and decades. Without getting too “out there”, the very universe is believed
to “breath” in this manner.
Now in the last two of these four charts, notice the similarity of the 1937-1938 corrective period
to the 2008-2009 corrective period. Notice that after two counter trend rallies to Fibonacci 62%
resistance, the market failed in 1939 moving down to the 1942 low. Then notice in the 2007-
2011 chart, that after the 2nd attempt to reach the 62% retracement area in late 2010, the
market broke up instead of down. The day that the analog broke down was the day the Ben
Bernanke announced QE2!!
My colleague Garrett Jones, in observing long market cycles, has pointed out that the market
has down cycles about every 40 years and very bad down cycles about every 80 years. Well, it
has been 85 years since the 1932 bottom and the extra five years may have been facilitated by
unprecedented financial engineering in the modern era.
I do ascertain however, that the world's economies appear to be enjoying global synchronous
growth with all the necessary support and cooperation being faithfully provided by the world's
central banks. Financial engineering has gone further than most ever imagined it could. I would
add that the elimination of many regulations (which some would argue were hard won protections
of the public interest); plus new and continued deficit spending would surely provide a boost to
the economy. Some of this is a matter of reallocating resources in intelligent ways and some not
so much.
NOW, the bullish scenario I am entertaining, appears to be supported by national and global
demographics. I refer here to baby boomers staying engaged in the economy longer than in the
past. In addition, younger generations are creating and engaging in the new digital economy.
It is creating wealth and efficiencies, in ways and in forms never before realized. This scenario
places its faith in the further unfolding of the digital revolution, as companies find new ways
to be more productive with fewer human beings. Let’s face it, some things would be better
operated (like trains) if better complimented with computers and AI.
On the other hand, if over time, the means of production (to coin a phrase) does become ever
more privatized and concentrated, resulting in the need for fewer human beings to produce the
wealth, then some form of guaranteed basic income will be required to avoid massive social
unrest. That is unless we are headed for some kind of dystopian “Hunger Games” scenario. I
am referring here to the books and movies of the same name. It would also be constructive
to provide a basic foundation to those with creative talents who may be growing up in poorer
circumstances. The idea here is to provide a hand up to those that can contribute to future
betterment.
I have long believed that the year 2021 would bring a very important cyclical juncture in the
market, but whether it will be a harbinger of a major top or bottom, I cannot yet say with high
probability. I argued at a presentation in late 2007, when forecasting the 2008 financial crash,
that broad based eco-systems were unlike what existed in the 1930’s, and could not withstand
another round of exploitation and development, in the quest for more old paradigm growth.
However, there was a caveat, i.e. unless this growth came from new technologies that could
foster new growth and efficiencies without further taxing the natural environment. I believe a
case could now be made that the digital revolution (which is incorporating robotic automation
and AI) as well as environmentally friendly energy technologies, may be fulfilling this bill.
New technologies are also being employed in the service of understanding and defending the
environment.
There are however many industries, sovereigns, and political economic policies that remain
unsustainable in a maturing global environment. Health care, agribusiness and the food
economy are chief among them, as well as a variety of other human behaviors that still threaten
our eco-systems. These new technologies I speak of may indeed buy us more time, but more
dramatic changes will be needed to sustain the environment upon which we depend.
Even if the market is to unfold to higher highs in the years leading into 2021, I believe an
intervening and substantial correction is likely close at hand. It cannot be foretold from
One possible development that could lead to a significant upside surprise, would be the collapse
of the Iranian regime which could lead to a somewhat similar reaction as occurred after the
fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union. If this were to occur, it may well come after an
intervening correction and then help to fuel a bull run into the 2021 time period.
Now please refer again to the last P&F chart I showed. The last two phases of this last
P&F trading range project (if realized) to somewhere between 30,200 and 32,700. It is my
contention that after a correction down into the approximate area of the 2016 trading range and
about a year in time, the market will find its footing and make its final run from the 1932 low
into a final 89 year Fibonacci grand cycle high in the 2021 time period.
The first chart shows my wave count from the 2008/2009 low. If it is an analog to the Herbert
Hoover bull run, its termination is imminent. I believe it is pretty much in agreement with
the next two charts shown from Elliott Wave International. Again, their service is the most
comprehensive available for this methodology.
