Lines
Cycle lines
Evenly spaced vertical lines that test whether highs or lows repeat at regular intervals.
The idea in plain words
Some markets seem to make lows at roughly regular intervals. Mark two lows; the tool repeats that spacing across the chart so you can see whether the rhythm continues.
How it is calculated
Click two points; every following line is the same number of candles further on.
Line k at time A + k × (time B − time A)How to use it
- Look for upcoming dates where a turn would fit the rhythm.
- Combine with price levels: a cycle date at a support level is stronger.
Drawing conclusions
- Cycles drift over time; treat them as rough windows, not exact dates.
Example
Lows on a daily chart roughly every 40 candles; the next line falls in late November, a window to watch for a low.
Prices in examples are illustrative.
Watch out for
- Rhythms found in the past often fade; do not trade on timing alone.
A little history
Cycle analysis was popularised by J. M. Hurst's 1970 book "The Profit Magic of Stock Transaction Timing".
