HURST CYCLE TRADING TRAINING SOFTWARE

The Hurst Cycle Trading software is a training and educational tool available only to purchasers of our J.M. Hurst Cycle Trading book and is not separately available. It was designed to demonstrate the application of our displaced moving average technique for forecasting price and time. The software was never intended as trading software. It will however save considerable time experimenting with the forecasting effectiveness of different periodicities for your favorite tickers and time frames.

The utility requires ASCII data files in the format DATE TIME OPEN HIGH LOW CLOSE VOLUME (optional and not required) or Metastock ASCII files in the format TICKER, PER, YYYYMMDD, TIME, OPEN, HIGH, LOW, CLOSE with the .prn file extension. We use the Metastock ASCII format for all our software. We download our historical stock and futures data with AnalyzerXL which automatically exports them into the proper Metastock ASCII format (shown in the chart below). AnalyzerXL is an Excel based technical analysis bundle that provides no cost historical downloads of worldwide stock and futures data and has 149 built-in technical analysis macros. We've been using it for years and it's a great tool for research and experimenting. You can download a free trial of AnalyzerXL. If you decide to buy it's $99.

The Hurst Cycle Trading program is a single, executable (.exe) file written in VB5 that requires no installation procedure. It does not make any changes to your registry or system directory. All DLLs necessary to run the program should already be available on any system running Win98 or higher. Not available for Linux or MAC OS. Not available separately from the ebook.
