A time cycle is, as far as I understand it, a measured period or length of time that is believed to form an identifiable pattern and repeat or "cycle". For example if you believed that there was a three month time cycle in Microsoft stock you would expect a trend to last about three months and then either consolidate or reverse trend for the next three months, and so on. I use these sometimes, but more as a visual tool on a chart, not necessarily an exact amount of time. You can put a vertical line at the beginning of a trend and then put one at its end, then take that same length of time and space it into the future to help predict a possible upcoming trend change or at least a trend stall. I'm sure there are many other ways to use time cycles but this is my interpretation.
There are two types of trends

if i understood the OP correctly. you r tryin to predict the end of a trend to do what ? go against it ? odds are you'r most likely to be wrong. you will take a good beating on the trade before you see it go ur way.
personally, i just love "the trend is your friend" . get on that trend if you r wrong, take a loss. simple as that. the odds will be on ur favor from what ve seen.
cheers
