עבריתSign in with GoogleA price chart has a vertical axis (price) and a horizontal axis (time). Ask most traders what they watch and they'll describe only vertical things: support, resistance, moving averages, trendlines. They treat the horizontal axis as a passive backdrop — just where the candles happen to sit.
Cycle analysis takes the horizontal axis seriously. It asks: do turning points cluster at consistent time intervals, independent of price level? The premise of the radar is that they often do — that when a turn happens carries information, not just where.
The blind spotToggle the view below. First you'll see a chart annotated the usual way — price levels only. Then add the time layer and watch the turning points line up on the horizontal axis.
Notice what the time layer adds: even when price is at a completely different level, turns can arrive a similar distance apart in time. A trader watching only price levels would miss that rhythm entirely.
This is the part beginners get backwards, so it's worth stating plainly: time tells you when to look; price tells you whether to act. A time window arriving does not mean a trade exists. It means the odds of a turn are elevated on that date, and you should now watch price closely for confirmation.
The whole FIND → WAIT → EXECUTE method is built on this division of labor. FIND is a time question. WAIT and EXECUTE are price questions. Keep them separate in your head and the method stays clean.
