Cycles, 01/28/07





Thoughts:
Cycles are easier when accompanied by drift because then only the troughs matter.

When only the troughs matter, there's enough time too look back and identify the peaks.

A simple trading system can be used to verify a cycle, then R for deeper analysis.
Cycle entries:
if it has been cycle period / 2 bars since the recent cycle peak, or

if the cycle is at its lowest point in 1.5 cycle period bars since the recent trough

Cycle Exits:
when it has been cycle period / 2 bars since entry
