Know which cycles to trust.

Every scan today is computed, looked at and thrown away. The Cycles Knowledge Graph keeps them. It follows every cycle through its life, connects cycles across markets, and scores every projected turn against the turn that came. The scanner becomes a memory.

Price with its dominant cycle. Past projected turns are marked as hit or miss. The next projected trough is shown as a window whose width comes from the record of past calls. today turn window
Past projected turns, scored against what came (filled: hit, open: miss). The next turn is a window whose width is earned from that record.

After the scan

The scanner shows which cycles are there. The graph tells you what they are worth.

Question 1

Can I trust this cycle?

Today you judge a cycle by eye. The graph gives every cycle a life story: how old it is, whether its length drifts, whether it has reset. From thousands of completed cycle lives it tells you how likely a cycle like this one is to survive one more swing.

Question 2

Is it part of something bigger?

A projected low in the S&P 500 means more when the same cycles in most global indices bottom in the same weeks. The graph measures that confluence across markets and shows which markets tend to move first.

Question 3

Has this kind of call worked before?

Every projected high and low is written down before it happens and checked after, including the misses. A projected turn stops being a date and becomes a window, as wide as the record says it should be.

Why it is new

Rich in assertion. Poor in evidence. Until now.

The cycles field has catalogued thousands of cycles and hardly ever checked what they did next. That is why academic finance dismisses it, and it is not entirely wrong to do so. The graph produces what the field does not have today.

Dewey's catalogue, turned into a living instrument. Cycle analysis gets a way to be wrong in public, and to get better because of it.

What you get

Nine answers. Each one replaces a judgement with a measurement.

  1. 01

    Cycle biography

    Age, length drift and resets for every cycle. "Looks reliable" becomes a survival probability.

  2. 02

    Calibrated turn windows

    How far off past projections were, by market and cycle length. You see where the method works and where it does not.

  3. 03

    Cycle breadth

    The share of markets in a cycle band that are rising, topping, falling or bottoming. Market breadth, for cycles.

  4. 04

    Stand-down warning

    When many cycles in a sector die at once, projections are least reliable. The graph tells you when to stand down.

  5. 05

    Tested lead and lag

    Which markets move first, and whether the liquidity cycle really leads equities. Most links fail the test. The few that hold are worth a great deal.

  6. 06

    Analogues

    The past dates whose cycle picture looked most like today, and what followed.

  7. 07

    A week that starts from what changed

    New cycles, dying cycles, building confluence. No walk through fifty charts.

  8. 08

    Calendar-driven or not

    Which cycles are really tied to the calendar, from the annual cycle down to month-end and option expiry.

  9. 09

    What works

    Every call is made by a known version of the method and checked afterwards. The graph learns which settings have forecasting value.

Seasonality, measured

We do not do seasonals. We measure which cycles are calendar-driven.

A seasonal chart averages decades of returns by calendar date and presents the average as a forecast. A few outlier years dominate it, and it changes shape with every sample.

The graph checks every cycle near one year, or a fraction of it, against the calendar itself. If it stays locked for years, it is calendar-driven, usually for a real reason, as in gas, power and crops. If it drifts, it is a market cycle that happens to be about a year long, and trading it by the calendar would be a mistake.

The same check runs at the short end. A 21-day cycle locked to month-end is a flow effect, and you want to know that before you trade it.

Ask what-if

Ask what-if. Get data, not opinion.

Whether a blend of the three strongest cycles beats the dominant cycle alone, whether detrending helps, whether a longer look-back window helps: today these are matters of belief.

As a Cycles IQ member you put such a question to the graph. It is tested over years of history across a panel of markets, and a few weeks later you get the answer as a finding, with the evidence behind it. What the graph has not measured, it answers with "not measured", never with a guess.

The first three questions of this kind are already running. Findings Report 01 is the graph's first result.

How you use it

Scan the lenses. Ask the agent. Build on the tools.

Lenses

See it at a glance

Cycle map, market card, confluence calendar, births and deaths, findings. Instant, and ready to paste into a client note.

AI agent

Ask what nobody predefined

The model picks the tools and tells the story. Every number and every chart comes from the graph, and every sentence points to its source.

MCP and API

Build your own screens

Query the graph from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor and build your own screens on it, with the Cycles AI Skill as the guide.

Honest by design

A measuring instrument pointed at the method itself.

The graph does not make cycles more predictive than they are. Across thousands of markets, coincidences are everywhere, and a well-built graph can make nonsense look authoritative. These rules are part of the product.

  • No hindsight. Every result uses only what was known on that date.
  • Persistence first. A cycle counts only when it holds over several scans, a link between markets only when it survives.
  • Tested against chance. Every relationship has to beat random coincidence before it is shown.
  • Misses included. Every projection is recorded before the fact and published with its outcome.
  • Methods are scored, never people. No member forecasts, no trades, no personal track records.

The graph watches the markets, watches itself, and changes only on its own evidence. Some of what it reports will contradict what the cycles community has believed for decades. That is the point: Market Zeitgeist becomes the place that has the data.

How to get it

Part of Cycles IQ. From the first finding.

The Knowledge Graph is part of the Cycles IQ membership, not a separate tier. It is built in stages, evidence first: Findings Report 01, then the graph tools for MCP and API, then the lenses and the built-in agent. Members get each stage as it lands.
