Bollinger Bands Meets Cycles
Special Cycles TV episode Monday at noon ET
Join us for a special episode of Cycles TV on Monday at noon ET. FSC Board Member Lars von Thienen and legendary market technician John Bollinger discuss cycles, volatility, and the evolution of technical analysis.
Bollinger, founder and president of Bollinger Capital and developer of Bollinger Bands, reflects on how his thinking has increasingly intersected with cycles research over time. From the cyclical nature of volatility to the potential for combining time-based cycles with price-based indicators, the discussion explores where technical analysis may be heading next.
The conversation also offers a preview of what Bollinger will be sharing at Cycles in the City this May in New York, where he will join us as a featured speaker.
Don’t miss the live stream on Monday at noon ET.
Best,
Lars


Sounds like Adler Volatility Adjusted Wave Channels™, and Cycle Wave Composite™.
We've come a long way haven't we. I was drawing my Hurst charts on Keufel and Esser graph paper in 1971. Started computer charting in 1983 and it's been all innovation since then. Back in '83 it took 30 minutes for a single Dow Hurst cycle chart to render. Now it takes 30 milliseconds and I can screen 2,000 stocks for multi-time frame cycle setups in 3 minutes.
The problem today is that the outside intervention is so extreme that both the countercyclical and procyclical interventions create such enormous distortion on gap openings that it's difficult to consistently trade successfully.
It's disconcerting. When the POTUS uses stock and energy prices as the barometer for determining geopolitical policy, and intervenes in the market accordingly, it's worse than a rigged game. We've all seen the pre-positioned trades that profit from these policy interventions.
What a world, huh.
War! HUH! Good God y'all ! What is it good for? Insider futures profits.
Cycle trading profits not so much. 🤨
