HOURLY TIME PERIODS
When Markets are very active and making a wide range in price, it is important to keep an
hourly High and Low Chart, just the same as you keep the Daily High and Low Chart and the
Hourly Chart will give the first change in trend.
There are 24 hours in a day, therefore 6 days are required to pass through 144 and a total of 864
days to pass through the square of 144.
At the present time, all exchanges are open 5 days a week with the exception of holidays and
most of them are open 5 hours each day, therefore, it will require 28 days and 4 hours to pass
through 144 at the rate of 5 hours per day and 5 days per week. [Trading time for grains is 225
minutes or 3.75 hours per day or 38 days and 1-1/2 hours to pass through 144 at the rate of 3.75
hours per day and 5 days per week.]
GREAT YEARLY TIME CYCLE
To pass through the square of 144, which equals 20,736, it requires 56 years, 9 months and 23
days, which is a very important time cycle. Next in importance is 1/2 of this time period which
is 28 years, 5 months and 8 days and 1/4 which is 14 years, 2 months and 19 days. The 14 year
cycle is always very important because it is 2 seven year periods. 14 years equals 168 months
and 169 months is the square of 13 making it very important for a change in trend and this is
also an important time resistance point.
1/8 of the Great Cycle is 7 years, 1 month and 10 days and is quite important. 1/16 is 42 months
and 20 days, 1/32 is 21 months and 10 days. This is an important time period because it is close
to 22-1/2 months which is 1/16 of the circle of 360 degrees.
