John,
 
Thanks for posting this. 
Hurst also shows in his
book using the
H&S Pattern with cycles. 
 
I learned this from another
trader that I respect highly;
The 80/20 rule applied
to trading.   80% of
the decline in Price will come in the 

last 20% in Time of
a Cycle low.  <FONT face=Arial 
size=2>Vice
Versa Coming off a low. 
80% of the advance come
in the first 20 percent 
of Time.  
The majority of damage in Price 
since
the last cycle high came
in the last 20%.  Once
we broke the neckline;  the acceleration 
substantially
increased even more so. 
 
Applying this cyclically; an
intermediate cycle
low is due now which we
did get a powerful recovery
coming off the lows last
week.  .  
If last
week's low isn't
broken and also  confirmed 
by taking out
last weeks highs with
another weekly close
higher; perhaps
  a tradable Intermediate term rally 
back
up to the neckline.  
 
Then with the next  intermediate 
cycle
low,  could hit the H&S target. 

We'll see. 
Best,
Rhonda

  Subject: [RT] H&S Formations
  I cut my stock market analysis teeth on this and maybe 
  I am late in the thread. But there is a very interesting article in the 
  April '02 edition of TA of Stocks and Commodities by Martin 
  Boot.Summation:Using a data base of 8,315 NYSE and Nas stocks 
  from '97 to '01 results indicated:1. H&S occurs 
  frequently2. 35% of the occurrences are profitable.3. The 
  largest profit comes within a 4 week time frame. After 12 weeks the 
  average profit drops below the profit of the first week.The above are 
  the most salient features of the research although there is 
  more.The conclusion of the article is that H&S can be helpful in 
  determining trendline breakouts. However simply identifying them will 
  not provide a high success rate.Knowing the phase of the cycle in 
  which the formation occurs can turn the H&S into a "goldmine" This 
  last comment leans heavily on the work of Merrman who identified the 
  cycles and morphology of H&S. Hope this was not 
  redundant.JohnTo
