Re: [amibroker] identifying cycles helpful?

[Sirbrainfart <sirbrainfart@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I probably should expand a little...
Certainly some of Ehler's stuff looks interesting (MESA and other dsp) and they *might* be useful for the basis of a mechanical system. Personally though Hurst's logic (and those of his peers) makes much more sense to me from a trading perspective.
This is partly down to trading reality (you can make much more money with *good* discretionary analysis than you can with any purely mechanical system that I've come across), partly down to my own analytical preferance and partly due to the fact that I am not an "ace" programmer. Although the latter is the least relevant.
Other advice...stay away from stuff that focusses too much on the *cause* of cycles rather than their observable *effects*, although from your question it looks like you are wisely not considering anything where you have to look to the heavens for clues :-)

My advice...stay away from all the fancy filters and transforms as 
cycles are too ephemeral to mechanise fully. These books will help you 
use cycles as *part* of a *discretionary* method of trading. Unless 
you're a whizz programmer of course, in which case please pm me after 
reading these.

Has anybody had any success with implementing cycle identification in 
there trading systems?  If so which one (MESA, FFT, etc.)?
