the cycle indicator is unique, it's not like MACD and RSI and
MA's that are all basically derivatives of the same thing
The Hilbert Sine Wave was developed by John Ehlers and first
published in his book “Rocket Science for Traders”. The indicator
uses an algorithm, originally applied to digital signal processing,
that measures the amount of cyclical energy in a stream of data,
for example, a stream of market prices.
Markets alternate between periods when price is range bound or
cycling and periods when price is moving to a new level or
trending. Cyclical periods are characterized by price bouncing off
support or resistance levels and failed breakouts or “overshoots”.
Trending periods are characterized by new highs or new lows and
pull backs (PB) that then continue in the direction of the trend,
until exhausted (END).
In this way, the Hilbert Sine Wave combines the best
characteristics of an oscillator: signalling over-sold and
over-bought in a cyclical range. As well as the best
characteristics of a moving average: signalling the start and end
of a trending move. The cycle indicator can be used to define
market structure in any time frame or instrument
