Numbers -The Matrix of All Market Motion
Financial time series modeling should incorporate cyclical analysis. The basis of all cycles is vibration. If an object or a system is stationary, in a particular reference frame, then presumably there is no vibration; although the potential for vibration does exist. If at some point, a polarity manefests, the stationary system aquires the potential for […]

Using Technical Analysis to Conjure Up a Trade
Sometimes, when I’m waiting for all the alignments I think create a perfect setup for a trade entry, I get tired of waiting. For example, the next big move, and thereby trade, I anticipate in the stock sector is on August 15th. While I’m waiting for that “ideal” setup to arrive, I’ll sometimes attempt […]

July 4th Marks the Spot for the Stock Market
To paraphrase W.D. Gann, a market will not do, what its going to do, unless and until it’s time has come. This concept is central to my investment and trading philosophy. Recently, I pointed out in a webinar that the first step I take to locate a good trade is to establish a time […]

EQUITIES ALERT
The market has finally arrived in the window where a number of time projection relationships converge. Structurally, the market top of last week (10/27/11) marks the end of a correction (possibly) a 4th wave. The inside formation seen in today’s S&P trade correlates strongly with continuation to the downside. Basis the SPY, the move […]

This is What I Told My Students
Sell Gold GCZ11 or YGZ11 (mini)! At $1800/oz, it is possible to see $1500 per oz. by year end. Please note this is my personal opinion, and it has nothing to do with my mechanical method. I like to call it Hany’s bad habits!!! Reason: Would rather buy a Greek bond yielding 60% per […]

Commodities Instruction
Today the stock market and crude oil collapsed! Is this a trend or a correction? Time to measure the psychology of the market. My students and I follow a mechanical method that measures the market psychology and use this information to position our trades. So far, we were short the stock market and short the crude […]

Signals for 06/13/2011
SELL GOLD This is what John Maynard Keynes would say if he were alive today! A recent article in a financial paper advocated a return to the Gold Standard, and disagreed with John Maynard Keynes’ famous statement “Gold is a barbarous relic”. The financial meltdown of 2008 and the current Middle East turmoil […]

Since this arrives on the weekend, I’m anticipating a turn on Monday 06/13/11. Considering the recent trend, it appears the market is likely to […]

System Design Alternatives
There is certainly no lack of methods for predicting time series. Traditional econometric models (e.g. ARMA) as well as various GARCH formulations have been extensively applied. More recently models based on Pareto-Levy (nonlinear) distributions incorporating embeddings in phase-space reconstructions have had some success. Neural networks, genetic algorithms, and their A.I. spinoffs are also used with […]

Trend Analysis
All forms of technical analysis are arbitrary from the standpoint of attempting to indicate what should or could occur. They are also arbitrary to the extent they attempt to anticipate a change in the market’s behavior, say from moving up to down or vice versa. The one exception to this is a certain pure […]
