Cycle indicators have been around for more than 50 years, but until recently cycle analysis was limited to economics and other broad analysis.

Cycle analysis based upon Martha Stokes, C.M.T.’s "Cycle Evolution Theory" and cycle analysis for stocks, are powerful tools that all traders can use to improve their market condition analysis.  Ms. Stokes identified 5 primary deviations in cycle patterns in her thesis that are leading indicators of major shifts in cycle patterns.

Being able to identify a deviation in a cycle pattern early can signal a significant change of trend pattern for both the market and individual stocks.
