Cycle Finder (CFind)

What it does

Provides a way to more clearly visualize the cycles on the chart.

How to use it

1.  Right-click the chart, point to Pointer Tools, then click CycleFinder. The cursor is displayed as a pencil.

2.  Click a bar on the chart to display a vertical line.

3.  Drag the cursor to move that line, and then click to park it on a particular bar. That bar becomes the center of the display (orange line).

4.  Drag the cursor to the spot on the chart where the next cycle begins. You’ll notice a series of vertical lines (brown lines) moving with the cursor based on the center of display (period = 6).

5.  Click at the start of the new cycle to park the lines.
