Trading by the Light of the Moon
by Vincent Troncone
For Millennia the Moon has been thought to have considerable effect on Life here on Planet Earth, Especially as it relates to humans. Now to some that may seem like some kind esoteric idea or mysticism but it may be more scientific then you think.
Considering our bodies are largely made up of water this idea isn't so far fetched. We can see the Lunar Effects on the Tides here on Earth and how powerful they are but that is not the only area affected in my opinion.
"So," you may ask, "Why is a guy who invests in the market writing an article about the moon?" Good question!
In my research, I have found what appears to be a direct correlation between the primary phases of the moon and the points at which any given, freely-traded market will reverse direction. To say the least, this phenomenon is quite amazing and has nothing to do with astrology and everything to do with astronomy and physics.
The cycle of the moon from new moon to new moon is called the synodic cycle. It is 29.5 days in length.
This cycle, although invisible, appears to have quite an effect on the markets. I would venture to say: Not only is the moon involved but other planetary bodies in our solar system as well.
Think of our Solar System as nothing more than a big Clock. Everything we do here on Earth is based on Cycles. Our method of keeping time and our Calendar is all based on the relationship of the Sun Earth and Moon and how long it takes for the bodies to move a certain distance in a certain time. Even our Seasons change as a result of these relationships.
I am not a Scientist or claiming to be one so lets move on to the empirical evidence.

I mean, an aspect of trading is human behavior and human behavior is linked with the human brain... which is all about brainwaves (electromagnetic fields). Lunar affects the earth's electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic stimulation affects brainwaves... and thus affecting behavior.
