The Concept of Continuity

Cyclic analysis is an analysis process that defines the position of many cycles in time. As time passes those cycles keep moving of course, and so an analysis in Sentient Trader can be seen as a snapshot in time of the cyclic model at that moment.

If the Chart is an EOD chart then that snapshot is valid for a period of time defined in days, whereas if it is an Intraday 1-minute Chart then the snapshot is valid for a period of time defined in minutes.

The most benefit from a cyclic analysis can be derived from progressing that analysis through time, and using new data to adjust and refine the analysis, rather than performing a completely fresh analysis every time a new piece of data becomes available.

And so as new data becomes available Sentient Trader updates the analysis, and the cyclic model that is the result of the analysis. The result of this is what we call continuity:

An analysis will remain constant as time progresses, unless price acts in such a way as to completely contradict and render invalid an analysis. Even if this happens, it is usually only the positioning of one cycle trough which is invalidated. And often the invalidation of a trough implies that the trough is actually a trough of a different cycle, which requires only a small correction to the cyclic model.
The concept of continuity extends to the trading process of Sentient Trader. Once a trade has been entered on the basis of a cyclic situation, the continuity of the analysis informs the monitoring of that trade. If the analysis changes because of price movement, the trade is monitored appropriately, with a full awareness of the original reasons for entering the trade.

The concept of Continuity means that Sentient Trader provides a robust and reliable decision-making environment which is absolutely vital for the making of profitable trading decisions.
