Hurst wrote 'The Profit Magic of Stock Transaction Timing' in 1970. When the technical annalist was using pencil and paper for his graphs. Bill Gates and TJ still did not exist and Hurst was not using a PC. I've tried to get the original version of the book but only got the reprinted version from 2000. Frankly I have the feeling that Chapter 11 as well as the Appendices have been added at the time of the reprint. This to give you my opinion how I see the book. It is an attempt to work with forecasted envelopes. And a good one ...For me the practical 'red line' for using the Hurst principle is as I told you already rather simple. Try to construct two trading bands. A long and a short period trading band. Hurst tells you how to do that with pencil and paper. The software today does it automatically for you. As soon as the short band is above the long one and the price above the short band you will have an 'overbought' situation. When the short band falls below the long band and the price is below the short band you have an 'oversold' situation. The combination of these 'overbought' and 'oversold' situations with a falling resp. rising long trend will give you the SELL and BUY signals. I am using Hurst with weekly views and indexes and must say that the results are very good ...Ton.----- Original Message -----From: Rakesh SahgalSent: Monday, October 09, 2006 3:18 PMSubject: Re: [amibroker] Hurst Channels CodeI suggest you get familiar with the concept of cycles a la Hurst and
use of Curvilinear Bands before you try to comprehend the code. As
for the code looking into the future - yes it does.
