I have been looking at astrology with the market for a very long time.  Back in the 70’s I tried to calculate Donald Bradley’s planetary barometer by hand.  The time involved wasn't worth it.  In 1978 I bought my first RadioShack computer and the first thing that I programmed was a Bradley barometer.  It took 48 hours to calculate just one week of the read out.  But in 1982 the Leading Edge computer came out and I could calculate the Bradley pretty easily.

I was always interested in astrological research. In 1982, as far as I know, I the first to write an astrological research program.  I named it ARP (astrological research package) and matrix sold under it the name of ARM (astrological research module).  In 1987 I started writing astrology programs to work with the market.  Since then I have spent hours testing the market with astrological techniques.  In my office I have three computers hooked up to one monitor and one computer is completely devoted, 24/7,  to research astrology and the markets.

There are many things in astrology that work well in predicting the market.  I remember reading George Bayer’s book entitled, “Stocks and Commodities Trader Handbook”.  In rule three he states that when Mars and Mercury has a speed differential of 59 minutes we are due for a down trend in wheat.  Of course, he was right.  That blew my mind because as a counseling full-time astrologer since 1965, I never ever conceptualized  using astrology in this manner. But it did help me to change my astrological mind set to this new application.

My feeling is that if you use techniques and concepts that astrologers use to predict the market, you might end up broke.

        I know that Gann said that you cannot predict the market with two planets in aspect; you need a third one to activate the energy.  MAYBE !

        I will make a statement here that a lot of astrologers may not agree with but I've done my homework to prove this concept.  I don't think that you can predict the market with any astrological aspect used by astrologers.  (I am referring to aspects such as the Ptolemy aspects or any of the minor aspects.) 

In my line of Market Trader Software that Sergey Tarassov and I put together we use some excellent artificial intelligence mathematics.  To be exact four them and each one uses different mathematics.  So if two or three of them point to the same turning day you can take your money to the bank. 

These artificial intelligence modules are programmed to educate the program with past historical stock prices.  You can use all types of different astrological criteria.  The program will go to the first day of your historical price, check if any of the criteria were working on that day, and then the program will give weights to this criteria based on whether or not the stock went up or down.  It will continue to go back and forth on the price, readjusting the weights for each criteria.  The program will continue showing you the accuracy of the artificial intelligence by the fit of the curve.

In the next example I worked with Qwest telephone stock.  I used a first trade chart analyzing every 30° aspects (0,60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330) and ran it through the artificial intelligence. The artificial intelligence couldn't educate itself more than 53.7%.  In other words, if I used these buy and sell signals to trade I would have made 903 good trades and 780 bad trades.  If you had bought and held them for that entire period of time you would of made 73% of your money.  Remember that a good model always exceeds the buy and hold strategy. 

 As you can see by the following graph produced by the artificial intelligence, it found some aspects causing turning points.  So it's not a total loss.  But it was far from giving you good results.

The black line is the historical price and the blue line is the results of the artificial intelligence.

          On the other hand if I don't use aspects at all but instead I analyze every degree of the zodiac using variable orb for each planets the results are outstanding.

In other words I will analyze every degree from the Sun, Mercury, Venus.  For each of these planets I will analyze 1° of Aries 2° of Aries 3° of Aries and so on to 29° of Pisces.  I analyze every 30 minutes for Mars.  I will vary the orb down for each planet and for Pluto I analyzed every five minutes of the zodiac. When I do that I get a curve fitting with an accuracy of 87% indicating that I would have 1214 good trades and 187 bad ones.  (That would be if I buy and sell according to the signal.)

 My results can be near perfect if I keep an eye on it.

 This kind of approach is much more accurate than using the astrological popular aspects.

By using this technique if they are points that keeps repeating with a stock regardless if it's a planet, midpoint, planetary picture or other astronomical criteria, the artificial intelligent will find it and make sure it gets a proper weight.

    This is theory that I use to rectify charts.  I did a lecture on this theory at the very first UAC many years ago.  It's an excellent way to find some points on the zodiac that repeat themselves at major events in your life.  If you choose events that have something to do with the ascendant, Ic, descendent, midheaven it is very good to give you an excellent clue the degrees & signs for any of these angular points.

    By using this technique the following graph shows how well that the artificial intelligence can precisely give weights to each criteria.

The black line is the actual price and the blue line is the artificial intelligence curve fitting.  As you can see at times the curve fitting is so good that you can't even see the black line.

In the next graph I used the same artificial intelligence but this time I use every degree of the zodiac variable orb (as previously explained) and transiting aspects to transiting aspects using the same variable orb. As you can see the results are good.

     There are some aspects that seem give good results with the Dow Jones.  Out of 324 transiting aspects analyzed only 50 of them can predict the market 65% of the time and only 30 of them can predict the market 80% of the time.  The following graphics are transiting to transiting planets that are important in the Dow Jones.

All of these aspects are by outer planets which move very slowly.  The top on this list is transiting Jupiter conjunct transiting Saturn.  While this aspect only happens every 19.9 years it is not a good indicator to predictive Dow.  The next one is transiting Saturn conjunct transiting Uranus.  This happens every 45.3 years and so again is not a good indicator.

If you take the conjunction between transiting Jupiter and transiting Saturn (even though it moves the market up eight times and down none) the biggest move was 5% up in eight days after the exact aspect of May 28, 2000.  You would have to wait 20 years to make money on this criteria. Not very good for day traders.

We all have to realize that we are in the computer age.  We all know that a well programmed computer can do things at lightning speed without any errors that will be next to impossible for human mind. 

A computer with a well programmed artificial intelligence that can examine thousands of points on the zodiac and give the appropriate weight for the strength of these criteria or points is  perfect to predict the market.  You can spend hundreds of hours analyze and astrological aspects and fall short of your expectation. 

My years of research definitely show that these techniques  offer a much more reliable way to happily wed astrology with the stock market.

Sergey and I have spent hundreds of hours of researching to bring you this kind of computer programs that gives you accurate results.

The Silver market trader software has one artificial intelligence.  The Gold has two artificial intelligence and the Titanium has four.

We have people all over the world successfully trading with these programs.
