Evaluating angular cycle overlays on independent stock swings

Start with a second series, not a cycle

A multi-year study scored pairwise planetary angular relationships against short-term individual stock moves to test whether Gann-style angular timing could isolate stock-specific turns. Those degree-based angular relationships are gann-angles: a repeatable timing condition that is then checked against later price turns.

Editorial reading: treat the resulting aspect-score as a calendar-fixed second series. A dominant-cycle is the repeating interval a timing overlay is trying to isolate from ordered price observations over a defined lookback. Alignment on a chart is not that isolation.

Freeze an origin-date before scoring angles

Each of 325 corporations was given up to four origin-dates: incorporation, first trade, public listing, and reincorporation. An origin-date is a corporate event date used to freeze natal planetary positions before later angular separations are measured.

Ten astronomical bodies generate at least 720 possible aspects. The working set emphasized 0, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 degree separations, recomputed every 48 hours.

Label aspects from independent peaks

Aspects were labeled supportive or opposing by counting how often they appeared on dates of 10 percent or larger stock-specific advances that did not coincide with short-term broad-index peaks. Those stock-specific highs are independent-peak events. The aspect-score is the signed tally that marks an angular separation as historically supportive or opposing around those peaks.

A time series of net and percentage-positive aspect scores was aligned with price. The origin-date whose scored peaks and troughs matched price was treated as the usable chart, especially on volatile names that had been independent of the broad trend for several months. That plotted running ratio of supportive to opposing aspect scores is the optimism-pessimism-line, used as a second series against price.

Require a synchronization-window

The stated overlay rule was that a short-term price peak should fall within two to three days of a peak in the positive-point series, with the percentage-positive series confirming.

A synchronization-window is a multi-week stretch in which crests and troughs of the scored series line up with price before a later interval is treated as usable. A scatter comparison restricted to cases with four to six weeks of prior synchronization related the height of a positive-point crest to the size of the subsequent price change. Further confirmation research was described as still planned.

Correspondence that later faded

The review covered more than 325 corporations, most for at least three years, and more than two-thirds had listed options. Illustrated single-stock cases were used to show stretches of alignment that later faded.

Correspondence between the scored series and price was described as lasting two to three months at a time, sometimes as long as six months, then disappearing without an obvious cause.

Compare with spectral-analysis before naming a cycle

Planetary harmonics were framed as a circle-based timing method distinct from Fourier or spectral-analysis, with a follow-on comparison planned. Spectral-analysis is a frequency-domain reading of price, volume, or breadth used as a quantitative baseline for nearby cyclical rhythm. Spectral views were described as nearer-term, while planetary positions can be computed months ahead.

The overlay was not presented as a primary system. A multi-month downtrend was described as more likely to stall than reverse during a strong positive-point wave.

Editorial reading: a scored series that first locks onto stock-specific swings still has to survive that spectral-analysis comparison. Until it does, the rhythm is trend decoration rather than a dominant-cycle.
