 We have had a good response to the Forecasting Made Easy version that now reads Metastock data. The Master Time Factor chart type in this program has been gaining steady interest. In May we will be releasing the FME version that can read ASCII text files. One unexpected thing that has happened since the release of the Master Time Factor technique, is that traders have been asking for our forecasts for specific markets. Rather than learning the Master Time Factor forecasting method and making their own forecasts, they would like to see our forecasts. Normally we make Master Time Factor forecast as tutorials for the FME software users to read and follow the described steps to learn how to make their own forecasts. There are a huge number of markets we can choose from to make a Master Time Factor tutorial. It would help us if you can vote in the poll below are let us know your area of interest. Feel free to add items in the “Other” box including international items as we have access to just about every symbol here at Mikula Forecasting.

Data Survey Poll Results

Our data survey poll has closed with results that were a little surprising. The top three items account for 91% of the poll results. The poll was asking what off-line data type traders use. The top vote getting was the Metastock format data. The second highest vote getter was ASCII text files. The third highest vote getter was write in votes for eSignal which was not in the survey because this was for off-line data types. It is apparent from the survey and also by my conversations with traders that the most widely used data formats are Metastock and text files. Most data services have moved to an OLE link which does not allow you to access the files directly on your hard drive. The trend now is to move to server based or cloud based data where the data is never on the trader’s hard drive. The newest versions of Worden Brothers programs are all server based data delivery systems along with all the realtime data services. In the near future we will be posting a poll asking what companies are your favorite off-line data services. If you have a clear favorite please send us an email with the name and we will include those services in the poll.

Forecasting Corn

The picture below shows the daily corn chart using the symbol ZC. On this chart I have added the delta indicator. This indicator is based on the book Delta Phenomenon. The MarketWarrior software does not calculate the Delta count; it has a delta layout designer which allows users to work out their own count. Working out a Delta count usually takes 30 to 60 minutes.

The picture below shows my personal delta count that I developed for the corn market. This count has several high probability turning points. One of the high probability count numbers is #6. The #6 point is the next point that will occur. The #5 point just occurred on the first trading day of 2012 and the #6 point will occur in late January. We will be watching the corn market as it approaches this time period.

Forecasting British Petroleum Part #2

One of my favorite forecasting tools is the Horoscope Index. Unfortunately this MarketWarrior indicator often does not give a signal for long periods of time.

The chart below is the daily chart for British Petroleum (BP). This  Horoscope Index for BP has not given a change in trend signal for the past five months. There is now a change in trend signal being given for the middle of January 2012. This occurs when the Horoscope index moves above the upper boundary in the indicator. I have marked this with a vertical line and the letter A. After this forecast has worked itself out by early February 2012, I will post a forecast review and update.

For quite a few years now, I have been pointing out that eclipses accurately find turning points in British Petroleum (BP). Well, this has happened again. Eclipses occur in pairs every few months and one of the pair almost always lines up with a turning point in BP.

The chart below is a daily chart for BP. On this chart I have added the eclipse. Notice that the eclipse marked by a red dot is right on an island reversal bottom. The market gapped down to this eclipse and then gapped back up. This was a very nice example an a turning point occurring on an eclipse date. If you trade BP make sure you watch these dates.

Forecasting Daily S&P500 Index with Jupiter and Saturn Aspect

Here is the latest update for our most accurate forecasting method for the daily S&P500 index.

This is the custom Jupiter Saturn aspect. I will not review all the details of the custom aspect because we have posted the details before. You can read the previous posts discussing this method to learn more. The chart below shows the daily S&P500 and the custom Jupiter / Saturn aspect applied to the chart. This aspect forecasts a turning point approximately every 4.5 months. These forecast turning points usually turn out to be bottoms. This forecasting method has proven to be so accurate that traders who own MarketWarrior are reporting to us that they are using these forecast dates to add money to their retirement accounts. These forecast dates almost always allow MarketWarrior owners an opportunity to buy into a market bottom for their long-term buy and hold accounts.

On the chart below you can see the forecast bottoms at points A and B. If you own MarketWarrior you can check the next Jupiter Saturn aspect date. If you do not have the custom aspect indicator setup in your version of MarketWarrior email us and we will send you the indicator settings.
