Bradley Siderograph

The Bradley siderograph was developed in the 40ies by Donald Bradley to forecast the stock markets. Bradley assigned numerical values to certain planetary constellations for every day, and the sum is the siderograph. It was originally intended to predict the stock markets. The noted technical analyst William Eng singled out the Bradley as the only 'excellent' Timing Indicator in his book, "Technical Analysis of Stocks, Options, and Futures" (source: Astrikos).

It is crucial to understand what the siderograph is about since almost all traders (and even and even financial astrologers!) misunderstand it. Over the decades it has been observed that the siderograph can NOT (!!!) reliably predict the direction but only turning points in the financial markets (stocks, bonds, bonds, commodities) within a time window of +/- 4 calendar days. That's the reason "inversions" can not (!) occur because the Siderograph does not reliably indicate trend directions. Also, it is not a timing tool for short-term trends but rather for intermediate-term to longer-term trends because the turning window is +/- 4 calendar days.

The first chart shows the siderograph based on the original formula as applied by Bradley himself ("geocentric" means earth-centered, i.e. from our perspective)

The last chart is the 360° heliocentric siderograph.

Perhaps you want to know now which one is the "correct" siderograph - the answer is easy: none. Since Bradley's time dozens of similar models with different paramaters have been created, partly optimized with the aid of artificial intelligence and for specific markets (oil, currencies etc.). A date which occurs in several different models is probably important.
