Cyclic Timing by JOHN HERRICK
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Cyclic Timing
by JOHN HERRICK
The concept of cyclic timing can be applied to most charting systems, including the most sophisticated
analytical systems; such as, oscillators. It is not adaptable to the Swing Vector System, because the
passage of time is not laid out horizontally on that kind of chart.
I urge you to give this new concept a fair test. I have discovered that cyclic timing will eliminate almost
all signals that do not produce profitable moves. This concept has the probability of improving any
charting system that produces graphic buy and sell signals.
Those of us who have used ...

GANN by CURTIS ARNOLD
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...GANN
by CURTIS ARNOLD
The system I am going to demonstrate is based on some of W.D. Gann's works. For those of you who
are not familiar with Gann, he was a legendary stock and commodity trader who purportedly made over
50 million dollars in the markets using his unique mathematical trading techniques.
The trading method I have developed is based on two of Gann's most basic tools--his 1´1 or 45 degree
angle and his trend line indicator. Refer to examples 1 and 2.
Angles can be used to determine the strength of the market from a previous top or bottom. The 45 degree
angle or 1´1 as Gann called...

Gold: Bull or Bear Market? by JESSE H. THOMPSON
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Gold: Bull or Bear Market?
by JESSE H. THOMPSON
How to use a monthly swing chart to determine
major trend.
Before you attempt to answer the question, it is imperative to first define which trend you consider to
be the greater trend. For in the crosscurrents of markets exist several trends coexisting over variable time
periods. To one person an upmove lasting several days is a bull market while to another the very same
move is considered a normal corrective rally within an ongoing bear market of longer duration in time.
Therefore, first determine what you define as a bonified bull or bear mar...

Letters to Technical Analysis
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Letters to Technical Analysis
Dear Jack:
I'm having a problem with the new Fourier disk you just sent out. All goes well until it's time for the
COMMAND LINE to appear. Instead of the COMMAND LINE I just get a blank cursor and the system
hangs.
I collect my data from CSI using their new Quicktrieve disk. Could that be the problem? I use
CompuTrac for my analysis.

Personal Computers
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...Personal Computers
The computer is no longer just a large, complex, expensive object that major corporations blame when
they screw up your order. Thanks to the miracle of electronics, today's computer is a large, complex,
expensive object that you can have in your own home.

years virtually every man, woman, and child in the United States has bought a personal home computer.

SIDEBAR: COMPUTER TRIVIA
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...COMPUTER TRIVIA
*The Analytical Engine (1835-1869)
Because of lack of government support, English mathematician Charles Babbage (1792-1871) never got to
build his invention, the design of which presaged the modern computer. Had it seen the light of day, the
engine would have used data fed by punched cards, performed arithmetical calculations, and stored
information in a memory bank. Lady Lovelace, the mathematically brilliant daughter of Lord Byron,
developed some potential problems for the future machine, in effect acting as the first programmer....

The Intra Day Analyst A Report by TIMOTHY C. SLATER/President, Intra Day Analyst Company
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...The Intra Day Analyst -- A Report
by TIMOTHY C. SLATER/President, Intra Day Analyst Company
The last version of The Intra Day Analyst has been in the field for five months. During this time, it has
undergone several revisions responding to users requests for modifications. With the exception of a few
minor ""bugs"" (since reprogrammed), it has been trouble-free. Now that it is in wide use, I offer my
observations and suggestions.
1. A trader should first be accomplished at inter-day trading before attempting to trade intra-day. On the
face of it, this seems like a rather simple statement, but...
