Channels and Cycles

Book excerpt: A thorough examination and explanation of cyclic price movements and how they can be applied to trading and investing. Summarizes the main points of the work of J. M. Hurst and explains each aspect thoroughly. Authored by a prominent British financial writer, whose earlier work, Channel Analysis, was eagerly sought by U. S. investors, but was not readily available in this country. This book updates, expands, and revises the concepts in Channel Analysis. Explains how price channels may be drawn around price action and combined with cyclical analysis to determine effective buying and selling points. Shows and explains methods that make it possible to predict some turning points months before they are due to occur.
