The Hurst Trader

The means by which cyclic concepts are used to produce transaction-decision information. – JM Hurst

Well that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? Cyclic Analysis is based (fairly obviously) on the cyclic concepts Hurst mentions. In other words, it is the analysis of stock market price movement, assuming the validity of cyclic theory.

Phasing Analysis is a procedure for isolating the wave components (cycles) present in a complex, composite wave (the price of a tradable entity). It consists of a series of methods whereby wave trough positions are estimated. – JM Hurst

I sometimes refer to phasing analysis as cycle phasing. It is basically an analysis process performed by the software to generate a current cyclic model – a model that defines the wavelength and phase of all cycles between 5 days and 18 years currently active in the market price data.

As a result of phasing analysis the software is able to speculate as to when the troughs and peaks of various cycles are likely to occur.
