The development of the Oscillator/Cycle Combination is a 3-step process. For example, at a bottom:

  1. The time is right for a cycle high or low, as determined by cycle Timing Band .
  2. The price/Oscillator Pattern sets up.
  3. Price activity puts you in the market by exceeding the Trigger entry buy stop.

The pattern is then complete and you have a pre-determined probability of a cycle top or bottom being in place and of making money, based on the time period researched. If you also researched the historical time and price moves to the Intermediate Cycles high you have reasonable expectations for the move that follows based on historical precedent, not hope. The mirror image would be followed to sell the market. The patterns and research tables scattered throughout the book should be studied carefully to see how these concepts complement each other and allow cycle highs and lows to be confirmed with mechanical trading signals.
