Hurst proposed describing the current cyclic picture as defined by the Phasing Analysis
by means of a table, which he called the Current Cyclic Model table. Sentient Trader
maintains a Current Cyclic Model table, which can be viewed at any time by using
the menu View > Show Cyclic Model Panel.
The Current Cyclic Model Panel can be moved around the screen by clicking on the
header bar of the panel, and dragging the panel in a similar manner to moving any window. The panel
is an independent window and so it can be moved anywhere, even outside of the bounds
of Sentient Trader.
By default the Current Cyclic Model Panel is pinned to stay on top of all other
windows.
You can un-pin the panel by clicking on the small pin icon in the header
bar of the panel.
The Current Cyclic Model Panel is closed by clicking on the small right-facing arrowhead
at the far right of the header bar of the panel.
There is a row for each cycle in the nominal model used for the analysis in the
Current Cyclic Model table.
The top row is for Sigma L, which is the sum of all cycles longer than the longest
cycle found in the analysis.
Beneath Sigma L all the cycles are listed in descending wavelength order, with the
shortest cycle in the last row of the table.
One of the rows has the cycle label highlighted: this is the cycle which is currently
being used as the trading cycle.
The numbers in each row are colored either green to indicate a cycle that is presently
rising, or red to indicate a cycle that is currently falling.
For each cycle the following information is displayed in the columns of the table:
The first column is simply a small box of the color that is used throughout Sentient
Trader when referring to that cycle.
The Nominal column gives the cycle label, and provides the nominal
length of the cycle first (such as 40d for the 40 day cycle), and
then a number
in brackets which is the exact average length of that cycle in the nominal model
(such as 34.1 in the case of the nominal 40 day cycle). It is important to understand the distinction: the nominal length is the "easy to use" label for the cycle, such
as 40 days, 80 days, 20 weeks, etc. The average length in brackets is the actual
length of the cycle.
The Actual column provides the actual average wavelength of the
cycle as found in this analysis.
The Variation column provides the variation in percentage terms
between the actual average wavelength, and the average wavelength in the nominal
model.
The Along column gives the amount of time that has passed since
the cycle's last trough, in other words how far the cycle is along in it's path from one trough to the next trough. In the Sigma L row this column is used to give
an indication of the strength of Sigma L (x2 in the example here indicates a strong
Sigma L, with the equivalent strength of two cycles)
Finally the Status column indicates with an
arrow icon the direction
of the cycle, which could be either:
