An EXTENSION to George Bayer's Rule No- 44 (Mercury Halfway Retrograde)

You might be surprised with the word “EXTENSION” that appeared in the title…..

What the word “EXTENSION” means…..

I will explain it, but first try to understand what Mr. George Bayer stated in his Rule No- 44.

In his book, “Stock and Commodity Traders´ Hand-Book of Trend Determination”, stated …

MERCURY HALFWAY RETROGRADE

The rule here concerns only the retrograde movement and centers specifically on the halfway point from the moment Mercury turns retrograde to the place where it moves again direct. We figure the difference of these two places in the Zodiac, divide by two and look in the ephemeris (Raphael’s) for the date when this halfway point is reached….

Now, coming to “EXTENSION” ….. This is in 2 parts.

PART - 1

NOT ONLY…. MERCURY does this, but other planets also give the same effect…..

Below are the images of NIFTY (Indian Index) with Jupiter and Venus halfway Retrograde event.

PART – 2

NOT ONLY….. HALFWAY does, but HALF of Halfway also works!!!!!

Astro-Geometry (Part-1)

Well, as the title goes, this technique uses both Astrology and Geometry to determine trend reversal. I found this technique useful and came to know about it accidentally. I was doing some research around 5 years ago, and while drawing horizontal lines found this. It is a quite simple technique, might be known to some (?).

The Astrology part of the technique needs a composite longitude of 2 or more planets. But I have not checked or even tried it with more than 2 planets.  Selection of planets is important.

The Geometry part required simple lines, horizontal and vertical.

NOTE:

Both, the stock data chart and composite should be plotted as shown in the below image. There must be a proper scale between the stock data chart and composite. Otherwise, this technique wouldn’t  be of any use.

Below images are self explanatory.

When tested with intra-day data, it worked !!
