I tried the FFT that Tomasz wrote with John Ehlers'
filter and also the code from Ehlers' book "Cybernetic Analysis of Stocks and
Futures.
Comparing the dominant cycles, they are quite
different from each program!!!
Can anyone resolve the differences? Is
either one "correct enough" to be useful?

Hello,
Please make sure to check this article:
as it presents improvement over Fourier
transform.

Yes, that's right - handle is the wrong word and
should be find, reveal, uncover, etc. This ability is of particular
interest to short-term traders.

Beyond that one can go to MESA and such. >>
