Financial astrology & the markets ... an introduction ....

[Guest guest]

Hi folks,

 

No matter whether we trade with fundamentals

or technical analysis, the basic reason for

doing ANY analysis is to determine WHEN we

should trade.

 

With stocks, if we get it right, we have

bought in when it's cheap and sell out

before it retraces. If we are not too greedy,

we aim to take the " meat " out of any rally,

where possible.

 

One drawback for both technical and

fundamental analysis is the fact that,

neither have a high regard for TIME.

 

By nature, when chartists use price-based

indicators, they are dealing with lagging

indicators that analyze the price axis only.

 

When we use fundamentals to analyze a stock,

we can determine if it is sound, by using

various formulas on the accounts numbers

and evaluating management, etc ....

 

That's fine, but again the TIME element has

been ignored, apart from profit forecasts

made by management.

 

So using the fundamentals does not really

tell us WHEN to trade ... that is,

PRACTICAL information that says ... enter

here and exit there !~!

 

In fact, many " investors " have fallen into

the " buy and hold " trap ... forced to wait

years for some stocks to recover, if ever.

 

Taking profits, WHILE THEY EXIST, is the

real art to trading, no matter what type

of analysis we employ.

 

Analyzing the TIME axis is the other half

of the equation, for both chartists and

fundamentalists.

 

There's plenty of evidence around to support

the use of TIME cycles in our trading plan too.

 

Fosters(FGL) and many more have shown us FIXED

cycles that can be traded profitably ...

there's also DYNAMIC time cycles that occur

in every market.

 

Using that example, FGL has exhibited a

seasonal cycle, in the past, that has served

traders with a good market timing indicator.

 

Markets move along both the PRICE axis and

the TIME axis. To omit either one, from our

analysis, is to make trading decisions with

only HALF of the trading information available

.... and that would seem to be doomed from

the outset.

 

---------

 

To introduce analysis of the TIME axis into

our trading plan, we must choose an appropriate

means of evaluation. Here, we introduce

financial astrology and the cosmic clock.

 

Some general comments about astro-trading ....

 

Approaching the subject as a skeptic is healthy,

since the subsequent proof of many accurate

calls make an even more lasting impression on

any doubtful student of time cycles.

 

Up front, we should point out:

 

" Planets DO NOT CAUSE anything to happen !~! "

 

(as far as the newbie astrotrader is concerned)

 

However, the cosmic clock is the oldest and most

accurate timing device known to mankind, doesn't

it make sense to harness it as a tool for trading

purposes?

 

Using the cosmic clock for market timing has a

number of advantages, like:

 

1. NOBODY can change or interfere with this timing

mechanism, except God hisself.

 

2. By logging market reactions over long periods,

a bias for future market action may be evident

for individual cycles.

 

3. Both STATIC and DYNAMIC time cycles can be employed

to analyze the TIME axis on our price charts. This means

we now have significantly more information from the same

charts, with no further overheads.

 

4. Such information can be used in projecting TIME and PRICE

forward, complementing our trading plan.

 

5. Better analysis of the TIME axis, also helps to confirm our

regular TA and helps us to make more informed decisions

about our trade entries and exits.

 

 

As we move forward, many more traders will see the value in

using TIME cycles, as another trading tool.

 

Unfortunately, in the past, there has been very little PRACTICAL

information from astrologers to enable traders to EASILY get

a grip on TIME cycles, let alone include them in a trading plan.

 

That situation is changing rapidly and the void between

astrologers and traders is being gradually filled, with some

EASY and PRACTICAL methods being offered to traders, in an

effort to improve their market timing.

 

That gap between astrologers and traders had developed over

centuries, with astrologers providing information from their

interpretive perspective.

 

This approach gave traders much detail about HOW and WHY

an event would occur, but what the traders really needed was

more details about WHEN and event would occur.

 

Last June, we had a group of traders and astrologers meet in

Perth and the old approach of market evaluation was quite

evident .... it was as if both groups were speaking in

different languages ... very enlightening.

 

Old masters, like Gann and the Rothschilds, knew the value of

using astro time cycles in their trading analysis, but much of

its worth was recorded in veiled language or coded messages,

largely to avoid ridicule from within the trading community.

 

Today, traders are much more receptive to the idea of using

natural time cycles to assist with better annalysis and timing

of our trade entries and exits.

 

Pioneers, like Mandfred Zimmel, will help to improve these

trading strategies and enable traders to include them within

their trading plan, with confidence.

 

It is naive to think that no progress has been made in this

field of astro cycles since Gann's day. In fact, one of Gann's

coded texts is soon to be unravelled, to reveal some

interesting PRACTICAL help for budding astrotraders.

........ albeit, 75 years after its first publication.

 

 

hope this helps some
