peter -
you know, i have no clue about cycles, but in some other techniques.
look, take the SPX, DAX and NDX chart - there are now in 10 30 60 min and 3000 tick all the same signals - as well at the € ( longer before ).
but the interesting thing ( we all saw it monday + tuesday ), is, that most of all big boys ( funds ... ) likely trade stochastic, macd rsi for confirmation. this is ( IMHO ) - the sideways. now, the indication is clear and what do do now for the private ( small / med ) traders ?
LOL - sure ! going short ! - but listen, you cannot short the cubes ( depending on 203 sec. naked short pos. ).
hmm, ok, so using options to hedge ( or/ and to trade the trend ) ...... or just sell it blank in frustration.
so let´s see what comes up with the new sec regularies .....
