Like any method, it's all about interpretation. As a Hurst technician, I know what I am looking for, and I know what tends to look right and what does not. For me, running Sentient as a Hurst tool is like having your own novice Hurst student in your employ. It is a very modern thinking student that knows the Hurst course inside and out, and uses a spectral analysis each time a set of data is studied. Have you run a spectral analysis lately on any particular market? Until I came across Sentient, finding dominant cycles was all eyeball and the use of various Hurst techniques.
The Hurst rules set for Sentient are tight (but can be adjusted somewhat) and the software applies the Hurst method in every way possible. An example of this is airedale's long standing phasings for the $SPX. Sentient is having a lot of trouble this year when using it as a reference model and I have not gotten very good results with it set up this way. That was the third chart I posted.
But the real power of Sentient is the ability to cover multiple markets in real time to make good timely judgements and forecasts. Who out there is posting online and covering all these markets I listed below? Can you imagine the work it would take to apply the correct phasings manually, plot all the FLDs, sort out the VTLs etc. for each of the markets below.
Thanks for your thoughts. GLGT.
