A heartfelt thank you, Steve,

Your loyal member,
Barry B.
Update:
Steve,
Normally I only trade the DOW, SPY and QQQ triple betas and so sit on my hands during consolidation but last week the Visualizer found a perfect setup in XLE which I bought. So instead of doing nothing while waiting for the next move in the broader marker, I added $15 k to my trading acct. Without the Visualizer XLE would never be on my radar.
Thanks Steve.

"I have been trading for 45 years. As I have said, you are in a league of your own in terms of analysis and I deeply appreciate what you have done.
Having created and run an institute [Fund] in the 90's in which fifteen engineers and physicists created new technologies for finance, I understand the value of your product.
It is the best work I have ever seen."

Dear Steve,
For years, my trading was frantic; it wore out my nerves, and in the end, the results were losing money.
As I apply what I learn from you, trading turns into an easy, smooth, [positive results] activity. Right now, it is regular like clockwork. I can forget about the news and the pundits. As simple as that.

Why Serious Traders and Professionals
Turn To Market Turning Points
Let’s be honest. There’s no shortage of trading advice out there. The problem is that much of it leaves traders second-guessing what comes next.
Which trend is real? Which breakout will hold? How do you tell the difference between a durable move and a temporary spike?
Market Turning Points was developed to address those questions through a structured research approach.
The cycle system analyzes market timing patterns and generates model signals that illustrate how it interprets changing market conditions. These signals are designed to highlight potential turning points with a structured view of market conditions.
This approach is based on measurable relationships in market data. In historical analysis, the cycle model aligns closely with broader market trends, with historical correlations of approximately 90% for 40-day market movements and 80% for 200-day trends across major ETFs such as SPY and QQQ.
The objective is not to create a “black box.” Instead, the system shows how signals are produced and why cycle conditions change, allowing members to use the method behind the analysis rather than simply react to market noise.
The Cycle Signals analysis provides a structured framework for observing how market cycles develop across a wide range of ETFs. By focusing on timing patterns and trend alignment, the system helps cut through the constant flow of headlines, opinions, and short-term market commentary.
Instead of reacting to every move, traders can step back and evaluate how the model strategy interprets the broader cycle environment.
The result is a clearer way to study market-timing dynamics and to understand how systematic analysis can identify potential turning points in major market trends.

Hi Steve
Just wanted to say that I love the system.
I just joined last year and wanted to watch it for a while to see if it actually worked before implementing it.
Not going to lie. I've subscribed to and tested many trading systems but I have to say your trading system is very accurate. More than any other I have found ... and has drastically increased my rate of success...
Keep up the great work!

"Steve, I’m serious when I said you helped me put my son through Graduate School. He’s getting his MS at John’s Hopkins U. It was the December move that did the trick. Grateful for your system and ongoing service.

How Predictive Signals Are Generated
Automatically, In Real Time
▶ This short walkthrough shows how our AI Visualizer analyzes top ETFs and stocks—so you can anticipate what’s next.
Stock Market Predictions Based on Cyclical Economic Data
Market Turning Points is built around quantitative models that analyze market data to explain how institutional trading activity can influence broader market behavior. The approach evaluates time-based economic cycles and price patterns to identify conditions that have historically appeared near important market turning points.
Here’s how the research model works:
Filtering the noise
The MTP model analyzes large sets of historical market data across major indices and ETFs. By removing a significant portion of short-term price volatility, the analysis focuses on identifying the underlying cycle patterns that have influenced broader market trends.
Identifying timing patterns
Using the calendar structure of economic reporting cycles and market activity, the system evaluates recurring timing relationships that have aligned with shifts in institutional capital flows. These patterns are used to generate model forecasts that have developed during similar cycle conditions.
Visualizing the model projections
The Visualizer translates this analysis into projected price paths, allowing members to observe how the model interprets market timing windows. For example, a forecast previously generated for GLD showed a 95% correlation with price behavior over the prior 40 days, 93% over 100 days, and 87% over 200 days, demonstrating how closely the model projections can align with historical price movement.
With MTP, you can stop stressing over news, screens full of indicators, and noisy opinions. You’ll be able to trade with structure, to help stay in front of the move instead of chasing it.
Hi Steve,
I have been finding covered call stock candidates, running my list one at a time through your AI Visualizer. If sideways or positive, I've been buying 1000 shares of the stock, turning around and writing just OTM covered calls and absolutely KILLING it! The AI appears to be THAT good.
Thanks, J.Andrews. 2024
"Today I had my taxes done by the same person who has done them for over a decade. She said she has other clients who also trade options but she tells all that I'm the best of them. It really made me feel good to hear that. So, thank you for all the work you do to make that happen. "
Barbara G.
"Thank you so much Steve.
I was able to [chart] TSLA before trading opened and watch the market’s ebb and flow with amusement, as it matched the projected curve pretty darn closely.
I feel like now I have a crystal ball for the market.
And I’m reminded of Clarke’s Third Law. [Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.]
Thank you, thank you, thank you for developing this over decades and for sharing it with those of us in the dark.
I find your service and education to be invaluable."

Repeatable Opportunities At Predictable Times
Bull markets often make investing appear easy. The years following the bear market of 2008 allowed many portfolios to grow simply by remaining invested.
But market environments continue to change.
Periods like 2022 remind investors how quickly volatility can return and how important timing and risk awareness can become during shifting market conditions.
That is where structured market analysis becomes especially valuable.
The Market Turning Points (MTP) model evaluates market cycles and generates model signals designed to highlight shifts in market momentum across major indices and ETFs, including the NASDAQ, SPX, DJI, IWM, Gold, Oil, and more than 100 additional securities.
These signals illustrate how the cycle strategy interprets evolving market conditions and how timing patterns have historically aligned with changes in broader market trends.
During both advancing and declining market phases, the analysis can also illustrate how different ETF strategies—including inverse ETFs during declining cycles—responded to shifting market environments.
The MTP model provides a clearer analytical framework for understanding how markets are changing across different sectors and asset classes. Rather than reacting to daily headlines or constantly shifting indicators, the system highlights key timing patterns and turning points.
"I normally don't write site reviews unless I am really disappointed or, in this case, really impressed.
I feel I need to recognize those individuals in the trading world who are honest, don’t add to the background noise, and actually give you your money's worth. Market Turning Points and Steve Swanson do just that.
I am 80 years old, have been trading for 20+ years, and carefully protect my capital. I only invest in the SPY and QQQ indexes (leveraged and inverse) and a few other high-volume ETFs, no individual stocks. I’m ashamed to tell you how much money, energy, and time I have spent over the last 20 years seeking out ‘edges’.
I have tried questionable gurus, real estate (REITs), high-dividend stocks, high-growth stocks, candlestick patterns, dozens and dozens of expensive books, webinars, YouTube videos, etc! While I have gleaned an excellent education in traditional technical analysis, let me save you some time and money, just listen to Steve Swanson.
Looking forward to the rest of the year. Oh, and my wife thinks I’m a genius!"

"Dear Steve,
Even though I learned a lot about trade and money mgmt on my own, I didn't really shine until reading and following your work [commentaries, charts, signals] and philosophy.
You will be happy to know that by using conditional orders and Put hedging on my beta ETFs during the "uncertain cycle periods" I am [trading] with next to zero emotions.
Tom P.
"Once more, Steve,
WOW! Your (published) advice has been worth many times the cost of membership. I thought I had missed the move when the market advanced 1000 points while I was too busy at work to get in. But I followed your commentary advice and waited for the pullback. The next advance added [...] to my trading account.
Thanks again and again."

Thanks again."

"Good Evening Steve,
You have taught me everything I needed to know to make [earn substantially] in the markets (I have very few and nominal draw-downs over the last 3-4+ years as a steadfast subscriber). I am retired and have been rigorously studying and applying your approach and methods since becoming a subscriber and beginning my “awakening”. Doing so has become my new avocation. It has certainly paid off and for that, I cannot thank you enough."

Buy/Sell Signals Based On Real But
Hidden Institutional Behavior
Institutions Quietly Drive the Market
Most investors believe markets move purely on supply and demand — and while that's part of the picture, the fuller story is more revealing. Large institutional players — banks, hedge funds, pension funds, and insurance companies — account for a significant share of daily trading volume, and their activity shapes how trends develop around major economic events.
Understanding how these players operate isn't reserved for Wall Street insiders. It's a framework any serious investor can learn to recognize.
Early Insights
Institutional firms closely monitor economic data releases — employment numbers, inflation readings, central bank announcements — and position themselves accordingly. The result is that capital flows often begin shifting before the broader market reacts.
Large institutions also deploy sophisticated execution methods: algorithmic systems, staged orders, and alternative trading venues. Market Turning Points was built to model how these behaviors surface across broad price data and economic patterns — giving individual investors a structural edge they didn't previously have access to.
Thinking Independently
The Market Turning Points system analyzes price data alongside the calendar of major economic reports to identify recurring timing patterns that have historically appeared near shifts in market momentum.
By filtering short-term noise, the system isolates cycle movements that show alignment with broader trend changes across stocks, ETFs, and major indices. The resulting signals highlight periods where momentum has historically strengthened or weakened — and show how the cycle strategy interprets market conditions.
Behavior During Market Stress
One of the most meaningful tests of any analytical system is how it holds up when markets become disorderly. During periods of significant volatility, MTP's pattern-based approach has identified notable turning points — including signals in early 2020, as well as periods surrounding the 2000, 2007, and 2022 market cycles.
These historical examples illustrate what the system is designed to detect: momentum shifts that may develop ahead of broader market recognition. Users can explore how the system's signals have interpreted past conditions and how strategies such as inverse ETFs have been applied during declining markets.
A Broader View of Market Direction
Market Turning Points is designed to give subscribers a structured, pattern-based perspective on market direction — one that can develop across multiple timeframes, from days to weeks to months.
The goal is to help you see evolving market conditions more clearly than the average participant — and make more informed decisions as a result.

"Hi Steve,
I’ve been enjoying my progress along the learning curve of trading with the cycles.
I make a few trades a week, with confidence, and have managed consistent returns, as long as I don’t let my emotions intrude.
And being able to plot the curves for my entry and exit points has made a world of difference.
I’m really appreciating the decreased stress levels of trading with your curves as a tool. I know my exit point and entry point before I even consider a trade. And that’s amazing. Once I enter a trade, I tell Siri to set a reminder for a bit before the forecast exit."
Liviu R.
"Good Morning Steve,
You have changed my trading totally and gave me confidence in what you are doing and so what I am doing now.
To let open positions evolve, have a clear expectation attitude, and to use a stop-loss the way you do is such a great experience I never had!
Even on Days/Weeks when there is no trade going on, I’m learning from your comments.
The next time you organize a meeting over in the US I will be there.
Thank you Steve for all this."
Best wishes from Switzerland, Eduardo

Steve it's been a good YTD [2025] thanks totally to you!
I generally trade the triple betas following the Premium Service and can't help myself and add an occasional option with a small portion of my accounts.
I got out of my TQQQ and SPXL trades on 1-23-25 ahead of my stops already set.
I know it may not be textbook or "Stevebook" and I'm happy.
Thanks for ALL you do for us.

"Dear Steve,
I have been a subscriber for some years now and I wanted to give some feedback on the visualizer: Love, love, love the visualizer!!! A fantastic tool.
I've been trading for going on 40 years now and have never seen anything like it. Puts everything in perspective and the accuracy has been just amazing. As a retired software developer I can appreciate the building a piece of software such as the visualizer. Nice work!! "

Stop Second-Guessing:
Confidently Invest While Others
Keep Wondering What To Do
"Steve's time/price wave MTP system is genius. It lets you know ahead of time when indices are going to top or bottom - and 90% of all stocks do what the broad markets do, so there's a lot of strategies you can play with.
I have a dual strategy. I buy near-the-money calls at cyclical lows and ride them all the way up to the expected cyclical peak. Then I sell call credit spreads at the top. A few years down the road, after already using it to pay for weddings and college, this will pay for a very comfortable and fun retirement."

Steve,
I have been with you for two or three years now. I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with your service. You are in a category of your own. I am constantly amazed at your analysis and your understanding of the markets. I have no rags to riches experience to share and you are certainly making me money; however, it is your acumen, interest, and resolve to constantly improve your service that appeals to me.
Ahead of the Curve
When most stock traders hear and interpret stock market news, it’s almost always too late to respond.
Whether it’s new economic policies, COVID news, or a change in interest rates, the resulting Wall Street volatility is well underway before casual investors can take any action other than react.
Even when you anticipate market or social turmoil, how can you know which segment of the financial markets—banking, tech, or retail—will experience the brunt of that volatility?
You'll continue to hear much chatter about high-fliers like Nvidia (NVDA), Tesla (TSLA), Alphabet (GOOGL), Goldman Sachs (GS), Microsoft (MSFT), Walmart (WMT), and Netflix (NFLX) at the watercooler, especially after selloffs or breakouts.
But by the time you hear about them, it's usually too late because the biggest moves are already well underway.
MTP alerts you to upcoming moves ahead of time because it digs beneath the surface of ongoing economic patterns that consistently appear on major indices, such as the NYSE, NASDAQ, Russell, and SPX, due to the calendar timing of economic reports.
Our MTP software anticipates predictable changes. It helps you position yourself to avoid market storms and grow your portfolio each time economic cycles align (dozens of times each year).
Once you invest based on these daily insights, you’ll wonder how you ever made a trade without them.
"Other Services Show Where Markets Have Been,
Yours Actually Shows Where Stock Markets Will Be"
"By the way, I think you are the best thing since sliced bread. I have been with you for about 4 months now. I was testing your system for the 1st three months to gain confidence in it before trading. The longer I am with you, the more I learn and the clearer the picture gets. I have tried cycles before with other professed gurus only to find they get out of whack. Whereas you keep adjusting and perfecting.
It is totally amazing how the system operates. It has especially helped me with options trading. As you know, the premiums can really hurt. Since trading with you, I can cut the premium down substantially by knowing when the cycle will top or bottom. "
Thanks, Don
"Please know that as an active participant in the webinars, and a serious student of the archived webinars and all your written material, I think you and the work you have done is nothing short of amazing. I believe it is the best thing out there when it comes to making a profit in the market; which is a near-impossible job, particularly this year. This is the first time ever I am showing a large return in my self-directed portfolio, and it's because of your cycle-based approach".
George K, USA
"I hope all is well for you, your family, and your business. I am a massive fan of your work and thoroughly enjoy your service. I have tried several other services over the years, mostly for added education, but have never found anything close to the accuracy of your cycle work."

"I have gone to three-day trading schools, and spent thousands, but found your site is BY FAR the best."

Just a quick note to say that the work you do is amazing - nothing short of a miracle! I’m excited about the future updates you’re working on.
Thank you for all you do!!
