The Delta Phenomenon or the hidden order in all markets, is based on the influence of moon cycles on mass behavior. (mood) While I personally wouldnt trade with this, it does clearly demonstrate an order in markets and the relationship to lunar cycles.
If we can agree this relationship does exist, then we would also have to agree there should be other phenomena in society to be discovered, also caused by lunar cycles.
Some other phenomena could be displayed in clearer more pronounced ways than what is seen in the markets. If these could be discovered, theoretically a trading system could be created.
Didn’t mean to post here.

On Collective2, we don’t agree that ANYTHING exists. We don’t believe in things. We don’t accept things as true. We pound theories into the market for very sufficient periods of time (not 29 days) and see if it outperforms with good metrics/statistics. Otherwise we dismiss it as myth and fantasy and ignore its believers.
For example, the concept of a relationship between full moons and increased activity at psych wards has already been thoroughly debunked.

No we don’t. Everything in the realm of trading must be proven, not accepted as true. For example, we discovered that the Earth is not the center of the solar system/universe, in spite of millennia of belief to the contrary. This is a science-based culture. We no longer pursue pixies, faeries, leprechauns, brownies, and other wee little people.
Ross the issue of full moons and a full maternity ward is proven to be true. Also the lunar cycle creates tides. From my experience in 1990 I was a bouncer in a bar. The only time I ever got into a fight was on full moon nights. Twice on full moon nights. It has been my observance the lunar cycle influences many parts of life here on planet earth. You just have to have a slight power of observance to notice.
I think you are being intellectually dishonest. As many trading systems as you have checked out, I have a hard time believing you are unaware of the Deltasociety. Everything there is based on Lunar Cycles and has been for years. You don’t even have to pay for anything as I have, the website shows the order clearly.
I was not talking about Deltasociety. I was talking about the assertion that things that should just be accepted and expanded, without evidence.
And the effect of lunar on market cyclers has not been proven "on all markets" but on a limited few.
"I was talking about the assertion that things that should just be accepted and expanded, without evidence."
Interesting, so tell me, as someone who says he is interested in scripture study (which is deemed the word of God) what EVIDENCE do you have that God exists? Or are you just accepting it and believe in it without proof?

Loads. But collective2 is not a religious forum, so stick to trading, thanks
"And the effect of lunar on market cyclers has not been proven "on all markets" but on a limited few."
I disagree.
This is crazy talk. Disagreeing is extremely illogical, and calls into question the status of your mental health.
Nothing against religion, though. That’s something different, but certainly thinking lunar cycles have anything to do with the markets is nuts.
Absolute rubbish. If you have ‘loads’ of evidence that God exists I suggest you share it and become a global phenomenon. The truth is you can’t possibly PROVE it just as someone can’t prove God DOESN’T exist either, the point is people either BELIEVE or they don’t.
The relevance to this forum given your vociferous posts is for you to believe in something you can’t possibly prove but to slam others for doing the same is the very definition of hypocrisy. Whatever credibility you had has been shot to pieces with that revelation.

No, immediately it is crazy. To suggest it is is not what a sane person would think.
Markets are rational or in the long-run governed rationally. To say it has anything to do with lunar cycles is not rational and extremely idiotic.
There is no relationship. It’s like the relationship between the NYSE and whether it rains in Charlotte. The effect is so infintesimally small that it is not significant, though may have a positive correlation. That does not make it a rational thought, however.

Since it is obvious you have little concept of biblical Christianity, I fail to see why I need to accept “the truth” of and accept demands and orders from a mortal, cosmic dust speck. “Horton Hears a Who” is in the theatres now, and you might feel more secure there…

I will tell you what. You prove that God does not exist, and I will consider your request.

Funny, last time I checked my “To Do” list, there wasn’t any items like "march to orders if you want to keep your credibility."
Since you are likely to keep barking, I think I will put you on ignore for a time. If you continue feeling this pressure, go talk to your clergyman.
Actually, there is a proven & surpirsing relationship between the equity markets and the lunar cycle. I have seen a very good, longterm (many year) study. The cause is unknown.
But the concept that the lunar cycle must therefore extensible to other areas of life does unfounded, without evidence.
The link between the full moon and abnormal behavior is actually quite untrue. Anecdotal evidence from personal experience is not an accepted proof.
Markets are made by people. People can see the moon. The intermediating factor is the human brain, which nobody really understands. So there can be a relationship between moon and market.
Similarly, there can be a relation between markets and Oprah’s body size of Tyra’s suit color.
Such relations are implausible, but on the other hand, if they were plausible then everybody would use them and then you would loose your advantage.
So I can imagine that such a relationship exists, but I would only believe this after a lot of evidence. 29 days is not enough. In case of the moon, 29 months is not enough.
BTW, an infamous study showed that there was a significant correlation between the lunar cycle and street violence (hmm, I’m not sure, perhaps it was traffic accidents) but it was criticized because in that sample the full moon was more often in the weekend - which is obviously accidental.
Nothing against you, Jules, or anybody who thinks there is, but I want you to reference me the link to this study. When I see it and pass judgement on whether it was given by a competent professional and not a lunatic, I’ll change my mind. You know how I feel, otherwise.
Edit: of Tyra’s -> or Tyra’s
That will have to wait, because I’m in a hotel now, so I don’t have books here. And its 4:18 AM here.
Can’t wait! Please don’t let me down, and please tell me it is not written by a Ph.D in Psychology for Christ’s sakes!
Anyway, that was only one study. With google i find this site with references
http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/moon.html
I suggest you look into it yourself.
