Preliminary note: My timing
method are solely the proprietary Amanita pivots where the Bradley is just one of
about 2 dozen indicators taken into consideration. This describes the role
of the Bradley in my work, it certainly is an important indicator, still
just one of many. With the aid of the Amanita pivots you can usually
predict market turns with an accuracy of +/- 1 trading day
(sometimes +/- 2). A Bradley date that is not an Amanita pivot is in most
cases meaningless in my work, sometimes it indicates a re-test of the
price extreme set with the Amanita pivot. The Amanita pivots are reserved for subscribers.
The Bradley siderograph was developed in the 40ies by Donald Bradley to forecast the stock
markets. Bradley assigned numerical values to certain planetary
constellations for every day, and the sum is the siderograph. It was
originally intended to predict the stock markets. The noted technical
analyst William Eng singled out the Bradley as the only 'excellent' Timing
Indicator in his book, "Technical Analysis of Stocks, Options, and Futures"
(source: Astrikos).
It is crucial to understand what the siderograph is about since almost
all traders (and even and even financial astrologers!) misunderstand it.
Over the decades it has been observed that the siderograph can NOT
(!!!) reliably predict the direction but only turning points in the financial
markets (stocks, bonds, bonds, commodities) within a time window of +/- 4 calendar days (in a few cases up to +/-
7 days). Inversions (i.e. a high instead of a low and vice versa) are
quite common. Also, it is not a timing tool for short-term trends but
rather for intermediate-term to longer-term trends because the turning
window is rather wide.
Below please find the Bradley siderograph (original formula) for December 2005 - January
2007:
2006 we have 11 major turning dates
in the standard model (window: +/- 4 days, sometimes +/- 7 days):
- 1/15/06
- 1/29/06
- 2/19/06
- 3/8/06
- April 3-11, 06
- 5/20/06 (important)
- 6/20/06
- 7/23/06
- 9/15/06
- 10/11/06
- 11/28/06 (important)
The other 3 siderograph models (reserved for Amanita subscribers) differ from the
shown standard model considerably.
Perhaps you want to know now which one is the "correct"
siderograph - the answer is easy: none. Since Bradley's time dozens of
similar models with different parameters have been created, partly
optimized with the aid of artificial intelligence and for specific markets
(oil, currencies etc.). A date which occurs in several different models is
probably important.
The older Bradley charts can be found here. How to receive the raw
data: as a subscriber of Amanita Market
Forecasting you get the raw data of all four Bradley
models from 1990-2010 as a .txt-file (click here to subscribe).
Another possibility: you calculate the data yourself with
the aid of a financial astrology software, please go to the software-page (I use the Market
Trader von Alphee Lavoie).
By including declinations, Donald Bradley has (probably unwittingly) created the formula so that it
mirrors the usual seasonal pattern ("sell in May and go") - but for this
purpose you rather use the seasonal charts and not the siderograph.
In my opinion the only way to construct a successful
astrological bullish/bearish model would be either to use the planetary
longitudes and synodic cycles of the planets (as researched by Meridian
and Matlock), or a transit concentration curve based on the 5-10 major
natal charts (as suggested by Koen Van de Moortel). In any way, aspects
and declinations, the components of the Bradley, are dynamic by nature and
not a good input for a static up/down-model, at least on the mundane
astrological level. Another possibility is to predict inversions but to my
knowledge all attempts have failed so far.
