I do not think a lot of people will ever use it, Firstly because it's rather arcane. Sloman developed it based on Lunar Cycles. Secondly because it's quite a bit of work. Also, like almost all forms of technical/pattern/cycle analysis it's subject to interpretation. Finally we don't do it the way Wilder presents it. It's similar only in that it's based on the same 4-day cycle with it's attendant turning points. Aside from that the determination is very different. I started using it around 1984 and dumped it. I did not go back to it until perhaps 5 years ago, it's just not an easy system to accept. It's not easy for a lot of people to accept Elliott Wave for example. That also requires a lot of work, I believe. More people know how to use that than Delta and still it's cannot be an overwhelming number I do not imagine.
