Cycle Trends Professional identifies powerful opportunities for trading currencies by using cycle and technical analysis. This is based on the ability of the cycles to forecast tops, bottoms and trend reversals.

Function of the Program

The trader has a choice of using cycles with different time frames (intervals) ranging from 1 minute to 60 minutes.

• The longer term cycles identify the trend.
• The short term cycles (5 & 10 minutes) pin point cycle highs and lows as they occur.
• The Overbought/Oversold indicator (TrueObos) confirms the high and low points.
• The Trendic indicator triggers the entry and exit signals.

While cycles form the core of the program, the forecasts are backed up by standard technical indicators.

Cycle Trends Professional uses live data from eSignal in developing the cycles. MetaStock Intraday data can also be used.

Example of a Cycle Forecast

Below is a chart of the Euro-US Dollar at 30 minute intervals as at 21h00 (South African time) on 10 March 2006. At the top is a standard line graph of the 30 minute data and below that is the cycle graph generated by Cycle Trends based on the 30 minute data.

Euro-Dollar (30 min)

The cycle curve is an amalgamation of the most genuine cycles that have been repeating themselves in the past.

The X's mark cycle lows that occurred at the data levels approximating the X's in the line graph. The Y's mark cycle tops that occurred at the data levels approximating the Y's in the line graph.

The X's and Y's gave windows of opportunity for trading.

The triggers for Entry and Exit points (Buys and Sells) are given by the program's Trendic indicator.

Cycle Trends has 4 cycle indicators and 6 standard technical indicators including MACD and Trendline techniques.

Another Example using 5 Minute Cycles

In the chart of the Euro-US Dollar at 5 minute intervals below, the Sell signal at 1.2093 on 1 July 2005 at 11:44 a.m. is indicated.

Euro-Dollar (5 min)

At the top is the line graph with the relevant details of the close, high, low, open and time displayed in the top left hand corner. The closing price is 1,2093 and the time is 11h44.

Below the line graph is the Cycle Curve which is projected into the Future Zone for the forecast.

The Sell signal is seen at the cycle top at Point A. Point B is the cycle low recorded on 1 July at 08h49 with a closing price of 1.2030.

The chart clearly shows the Euro-USD heading for a fall in the Future Zone.

The following chart as at 16h05 on 1 July shows the result of the forecast.

Euro-Dollar (5 min)

The line graph at the top clearly shows the fall of the Euro-USD from $1.2093 (Point A) to the cycle low of $1.2038 (Point C) at 16h05.

The lower graph shows the cycle top at Point A, as seen in the previous chart, and the cycle low at Point C.
