Summary
Insights:

- In addition, Cycles-Trader added additional information for entry and exit choices, that makes these trades much more efficient, generating a higher profit in less time in the market.
- All these cases begin with a downtrend for a few weeks, As a trader you might have missed all these opportunities just by entering in the timing that I Know First recommended just to be surprised that the stock went the other way as predicted.
Notes:

- In general, it is easier to find and predict stocks going up in a market that is trending up, as in the case of the analyzed period
