This discussion gets more and more interesting. Tyren observes that the Larry map is the same as the Tom map, based on his actual observations. I would like to know from Tyren just how close he reckons they are, because there is no doubt they look the same, but I have never bothered to actually compare them on a daily basis.
My belief is that the two types of maps are based on the same basic ideas. It is true that Tom is a friend / admirer of Larry. It is also true that some of the major techniques contained in the Market Matrix are straight out of Larry's books.
Tom does say on his website they the maps are based on matrix and fib cycles, as has been pointed out earlier, but I asked him recently how he created them, and he mentioned only that it looks for patterns over 4 years of data - maybe these patterns are based on the cycles he refers to.
So Tyren - just how close do the 2 versions match?
