Bradley Siderograph
The Bradley Siderograph was originally developed by Donald Bradley in the 1940's, and is a means of combining all of the planetary aspects occuring at any given time into a single number through a complex series of weights and measures. We've been working with these graphs using Dow Jones Industrial price histories going back to pre-1900 and have consistently found the Bradley to be an amazing tool that can greatly aid in market timing.
Noted analysts such as Jerry Favors and William Eng swear by the Bradley. Eng singled out the Bradley as the only 'Excellent' Timing Indicator in his book, 'Technical Analysis of Stocks, Options, and Futures'.
Click on the Chart Link at the top of this page to view some of the recent Bradley Siderograph charts overlayed with the Dow Industrials. Remember when looking at these charts that we often enter what is called an 'Inversion', where prices move the opposite direction of the Bradley. The direction of the Bradley isn't as important as the actual TURN DATES of the Siderograph. You'll know if you're in an inversion period if prices are rising steadily while the Bradley is falling steadily, however the turning date of the Bradley will still be significant to the rally and should represent at least a short term top once the Bradley bottoms and turns.
For those interested in the actual calculation of the Siderograph, we'll lay out the general idea here. For more information, we'd recommend purchasing 'Stock Market Prediction' subtitled 'The Planetary Barometer and How to Use It' by Donald Bradley, available from Llewellyn Publications. The basic idea behind the calculations is that for each planet, measure the distance between that planet and every other planet (excluding the Moon), and see if it's within a 15 degree orb of a Conjunction, Sextile, Square, Trine, or Opposition. If so, it receives a weighted value depending on the aspect and it's distance from exact. All squares and pppositions are minus, all sextiles and trines are plus, for conjunctions refer to the table below...
