default password to your preference.
Q: Can I make changes to a subscription I already purchased?
A: Yes you can. However, you need to cancel your initial subscription within 10 days, then subscribe to
the new option that you desire. The payment for your initial subscription will be fully refunded.
Q: Iām trying to download the install and I get a message that my download link has expired?
What can I do?
A: Download files provided to subscribers at time of purchase, expire after 7 days.
If users get a download expiration message, users can go into their account and get their download
from the Members Area, Manage, at any time.
Q: The NT8 version is quite different from NT7. It has a time projected into the future on the center
projected line, and it tells you in text the current sentiment. Can you please explain?
A: We have visually changed the appearance of the graphics. The current appearance of the cycle is
based on the color of the histogram. Green is up, red is down. If itās green, the sentiment is bullish, if
itās red, the sentiment is bearish.
Q: I have read that the data for FOREX is free on NinjaTrader.Ā If yes, is the free data sufficient for
QuantCycles or do I need to purchase additional data (Kinetic, Bar chart, etc.)?
A: The free FOREX data should provide adequate data for our analysis.
Q: If I subscribe to the NinjaTrader Live package, is End of Day also included?
A: If you subscribe to any Live product at regular price, the End of Day is included.
Q: I just purchased the Live Micro Futures. I trade NQ and was wondering if you could help me with
the Best Time Frame and the Best Setting I should be using for best results.
A: We can help guide you to set up the best setting for the specific time frame that you are trading.
However, we cannot recommend what time frame you should be trading.
Q: Is this an automated program?
A: This is not an automated program. We provide analysis; not a buy or sale research.
Q: What do the components of the indicator mean?
A: Check our demo video on ourĀ website. You may also send a request to team@quantcycles.com for
additional support.
Q: Is there less than 5-minute data available?
A: Yes, we provide I, 2 and 3-minute data for markets that are very liquid, such as E-mini futures,
Crude Oil and Gold.
Q: Are you more consistent in one market over another?
A: Yes. There are markets with a higher percentage of accuracy. Historically there are better results in
heating oil than soy beans because of the higher percentage of cyclical behavior. We are able to
extract more data.
Q: Is it meaningful if the next projected low is lower than the previous price low?
A: Yes. Our analysis is graphical and you can gage support and resistance from our opportunity zones
and observe the amplitude of the projection.
