Market Cycles takes the swing highs and lows from 60 years ago, maps them onto today and lists the pivot dates that are active or coming up.
Each reference high or low from the 60-year-earlier market becomes a projected date on today’s calendar.
See which pivot windows are open now and how many days remain until the next ones.
Each symbol’s page shows how a pivot-to-pivot test has performed in past years, with the years and trades behind every figure.
Add any pivot or projected trade to your watchlist, next to the other windows you follow.
The screener opens on Long Only and the next 90 days, listing active pivots first and upcoming ones by how soon they fall. You can switch to Short Only or All Directions and set the horizon anywhere from 30 days to a year.
Upcoming pivots fall after today. Active pivots fell today or within a recent window, and no pivot of the opposite type has followed yet for that symbol.
Click a row to open that symbol’s page: the next mapped peak or trough, eight summary cards, and tabs for projected trades, trade history, the equity curve and year-by-year results.
On the symbol page you can filter by direction and set the swing-detection window, from 5 to 30 trading days. The bookmark icon on either page saves a pivot or projected trade to your watchlist.
The screener is one table of pivot dates, split into active and upcoming rows, and each symbol has its own page with a backtest. Here is what each column, card and tab shows.
Every figure comes from daily price history. The pivot dates use no planetary data: they are the market’s own swing highs and lows from 60 years earlier, moved forward on the calendar.
The tool scans each symbol’s daily price history for its swing highs and lows, the points where price turned. The result is cleaned up so that highs and lows alternate. A detection window, counted in trading days, controls which turns qualify as swings. The screener always uses one fixed window, and a symbol’s page lets you choose it, from 5 to 30 trading days.
Each swing keeps its month and day and moves forward exactly 60 calendar years, so a swing in 1966 lands on the same date in 2026. Dates that fall inside the existing price history are aligned to trading days, while future dates stay on the calendar date, weekends included.
Each test year uses the mapped swings from its reference year, 60 years earlier, together with part of the year that follows. Each trade runs from one mapped pivot to the next, long when it starts at a reference low and short when it starts at a reference high. Returns run close to close on daily prices, with no commissions, slippage or stops.
Win rate is the share of completed trades, those whose exit has passed, with a return above zero, so a flat trade counts as a loss. Profit factor weighs the gains of the winning trades against the losses of the losing ones, and shows ∞ when there are no losses. Final equity compounds $1,000 through the trades, and max drawdown is the largest fall from a peak in that equity.
Only symbols whose daily price history spans at least 60 years qualify, and testing starts 60 years after a symbol’s first year of data. A stock with prices from 1962 is tested from 2022, and the Dow, with data from 1896, from 1956. The pivot list is rebuilt every morning after 08:00 UTC, and a symbol’s backtest runs on the current price history when you open its page.

It is the idea that markets can echo their path from 60 years earlier. This tool applies it literally: swing highs and lows from 60 years ago move forward exactly 60 calendar years, with no planetary data involved, and a backtest shows how pivot-to-pivot trades between those dates performed in past years. It projects dates, not prices.
Only symbols with at least 60 years of daily price history, because every pivot comes from the market 60 years earlier. That is a few dozen: long-listed stocks such as Coca-Cola, IBM and Exxon Mobil, plus the S&P 500, the Dow, the NYSE Composite and three US Treasury yield indices.
It is the share of completed backtest trades with a return above zero. Each trade runs from one mapped pivot to the next and is measured close to close on daily prices, with no commissions or slippage. Flat trades count as losses, and trades that have not closed yet are left out.
The screener shows the symbol’s full backtest at the default swing-detection window, with long and short trades together. The symbol page uses the direction and window you pick, starting on Long Only and the default window.
Testing starts 60 years after a symbol’s first year of data, because each test year needs a reference year. The S&P 500 is tested from 2010 and the Dow from 1956, but most stocks have prices from 1962 and so are tested only from 2022, a few dozen trades or fewer. The Years Analyzed and Trades cards show how much history sits behind each figure.
The pivot list is rebuilt every morning after 08:00 UTC from the latest daily prices, and the day counts are recalculated each time the screener loads. A symbol’s backtest runs on the current price history when you open its page.
