Well, I've tried to do the work myself. And I've followed the work of others. Still, no joy. Therefore, either (1) cycle analysis is a false concept, or (2) it's too complicated and/or cryptic to be an effective tool.
I'm of the school that a trading concept must be (1) recently highly correlative to market behavior, and (2) simple enough for a novice to grasp for capital to be risked. In other words, KISS. Cycles ain't that.
hose, what "work" did you try? there are differences.
a half hearted attempt at studying/applying any form of T/A could lead to your same conclusion.
