Cycles are a unique kind of trading analytics, being one of the few
types of market data that can be accurately measured. But understanding
what the cycles mean and which trades to make based on them is an
extremely complex process. Cycle Analytics for Traders is a technical
resource for self-directed traders that explains the scientific
underpinnings of the filters and indicators used to make effective and
profitable trading decisions. Rather than simply using cycle analytics
on blind faith, this book explores and explains the how and why of
cycles.
Though technical in nature, Cycle Analytics for Traders emphasizes
simplicity rather than mathematical purity, taking a pragmatic
real-world approach to attaining effective trading results. It allows
traders to think of indicators and trading strategies in the frequency
domain as well as their motions in the time domain, letting them select
the most efficient filter lengths for the job at hand. Traders with
little mathematical background will learn how to assess general market
conditions to their advantage while technically astute traders will be
able to create indicators and strategies that automatically adapt to
measured market conditions using the computer code described here.
Additionally, author John Ehlers explains several vital concepts all
traders should understand: how to eliminate or use Spectral Dilation to
their advantage; how to use Automatic Gain Control to normalize
indicator amplitude swings; the fact that all indicators are statistical
rather than absolute; how to use advanced cookbook filters; several
different methods for estimating market spectra and sifting out the
Dominant Cycle; and how to use transforms to improve the display and
interpretation of indicators.
Cycle Analytics for Traders shows traders how to approach trading as a
statistical process that should be judged from the long-term view,
rather than a small sample set of just a few trades - no matter how
profitable those few are. With this practical and informative book as a
guide, any trader can master cycle analytics, letting statistics and
science light the way to long-term trading success.
