Our Strategy
We take a synergistic approach to trading, integrating time-tested indicators and cycles with steadfast principles. Our goal is to pinpoint the highest quality trading opportunities where all these factors come together to provide our subscribers with valuable insights and analysis.
Principles
Principles are the backbone of our trading strategy, every time we analyze or project a move in the market, we start by looking at our core principles.
Cycles
We believe that much like the Earth is influenced by daily and seasonal cycles, human nature, and by extension the markets, are influenced by similar cycles.
Indicators
In addition to our principles and cycles, we’ve discovered many indicators over the years that have shown time and time again accurate predictors of what’s to come.
Trends
Trends are a powerful measurement, especially in determining what phase of a cycle the market is in, where trader’s should focus their attention, and how aggressive they should be.
Synergy
We don’t believe that any one principle, cycle or indicator is the holy grail of trading, but instead, look for opportunities where multiple factors come together.
Markets
We analyze many different markets throughout our publications, including natural resources like gold and oil, currencies like the dollar and bitcoin, and stock indices like the S&P.

Indicators are nothing more than tools... and no single tool will accomplish every task you encounter. You have probably encountered many approaches to trading and a plethora of indicators.
Trading with Cycles
As this site attempts to convey, there is an undeniable cyclicality to life… and to the markets… and to the economy… and to droughts & floods… and to geopolitical struggles… and to earthquakes & volcanoes… and to manias & crashes, etc. There is a time – and a cycle – to everything. What does the 3rd chapter of the book of Ecclesiastes say (later popularized in 1965 by The Byrds)? …To everything there is a season and a time… Cycles measure time. As such, they also measure time between related…
Cycles Intro
In order to prevent a misunderstanding of cycles – or at least our approach to cycle analysis – it is good to start out with a quick summation of what cycles are NOT... They are NOT perfect. They are NOT an investment or trading strategy, in and of themselves. They are NOT a stand-alone tool. They are NOT the Holy Grail. Rather, they are a foundation… a foundation on which a better understanding of our world can be based... a foundation on which a better understanding of the markets and market…
