Kiy - Long story short version. Back when I 1st came to I-Hub I visited a few boards and I kept hearing the EMA 11 being used from the other traders. So I studied the EMA 11 and found out by using the EMA 11(high) that when a down trend started it always dropped below that line and when it crossed back up above the EMA 11(high) it most always confirmed an uptrend. I then found that this indicator worked in all time frames. That was the beginning of my SPX Cycles System.

I then studied how the MACD (12,26,9) & EMA 3 performed when in a P1/P2 cycle. I 1st used the EMA 3/8 in all time frames but found out the EMA 3/8 was only a good indicator in the long term Monthly timeframe. I discovered that the EMA 8 was a good OB/OS indicator and that the EMA 8 spends 90% of it's time between my EMA 11 (high) (low) trend lines.

Then lastly I discovered that when the MACD & EMA 3 are in certain positions that a short, average, & extended phase can be accurately confirmed.
