ΣL Cycle Summary

This excellent and now upgraded signal in the VIX has been on our radar for some time and has provided a few good trades since the inception of our reports. It is somewhat inversely correlated to the same wavelength component in stockmarkets worldwide but there will be some higher frequency differences to be aware of. This will be mostly in the form of amplitude modulation at shorter wavelengths. At the courser scale around 75 days it is wonderfully frequency and amplitude stationary.

Current Signal Status

Time Frequency Analysis

Time frequency charts (learn more) below will typically show the cycle of interest against price, the bandpass output alone and the bandwidth of the component in the time frequency heatmap, framed in white. If a second chart is displayed it will usually show high-passed price with the extracted signal overlaid for visual clarity.

Current Signal Detail & Targets

Here we give more detail on the signal relative to speculative price, given the detected attributes of the component. In most cases the time target to hold a trade for is more important, given we focus on cycles in financial markets. Forthcoming trough and peak ranges are based upon the frequency modulation in the sample (learn more).


Phase: Peaking / Peaked
FM: +- 5 Days
AM: 0.91752
Next Trough Range: 27th November - 7th December, 2023
Next Peak Range: 3rd January - 13th January, 2024

Sigma-L Recommendation: Sell
Time Target: ~ 2nd December, 2023


Current Signal Phase

This is ‘how far along’ the cycle is in it’s period at now time and is related to the predicted price action direction.

Current Signal Frequency Modulation (FM)

This is how much, on average, the signal detected varies in frequency (or wavelength) over the whole sample. A lower variance is better and implies better profitability for the component. Frequency usually modulates relatively slowly and over several iterations.

Current Signal Amplitude Modulation (AM)

This is how much the component gains or loses power (price influence) across the sample, on average. Amplitude modulation can happen quite quickly and certainly is more evident than frequency modulation in financial markets. The more stable the modulation the better.
