[amibroker] Re: identifying cycles helpful?

I guess I should have mentioned that I'm trying to build a fully 
automated system.  Of course in theory the cycle identification 
should work, but I was wondering if anybody had any significantly 
measured success with a particular methodology that was used for 
producing parameters for the other indicators.  

By the way it would also seem that a cycle regressed to a sine wave 
would also have to account for translation/skewness in a trending 
market.

Are you saying to stay away from cycle identification methodologies 
that incorporates the underlying cause of the cycle into the 
indicator, or are you saying not to look at indicators that are built 
with the theory of cycle development in mind?  

Thanks
