The Markets Move in Cycles. Learn to Read Them.
A systematic approach to trading stock market indices. Using proven breadth analysis and index signals, you'll build a rule-based framework for knowing exactly when conditions favor aggressive positioning — and when to step aside.
Not a stock-picking guide. Not a single-indicator book. A complete, systematic framework for reading the market itself.
After 30 Years of Teaching Systematic Trading, This Is the Book That Was Missing.
Written after three decades of seminar rooms in London, Chicago, Los Angeles, and everywhere in between — this is the market-timing book Steve Hill always wanted to exist.
A Systematic Framework
Rules, not opinions. A repeatable process for reading market direction that works the same way every time you apply it.
Proven Breadth Analysis
The market's internals — advancing and declining issues and volume — usually turn before price does. Learn to read participation the right way.
Index Signals
Systematic signals on the major stock market indices that tell you when the weight of evidence has genuinely shifted.
Know When to Step Aside
Half of market timing is knowing when conditions don't favor you. Defined criteria for standing down protect capital for the real opportunities.
Real Charts & Case Studies
The framework demonstrated on actual market history, with charts you can study and reproduce.
Four Decades of Heritage
From the company whose rule-based market timing flagged the Crash of '87 — this book distills the systematic philosophy behind it.
Evidence In. Position Out.
The same evidence-stacking philosophy behind everything AIQ builds, applied to the market itself.
Read the Breadth
Participation leads price. Measure what the majority of stocks are actually doing beneath the index headline.
Confirm With Index Signals
Systematic, rule-based signals on the indices confirm — or veto — what the internals suggest. No single indicator decides alone.
Position — or Stand Aside
When the evidence aligns, size up with confidence. When it doesn't, the framework tells you to wait. Both are trades.
