About the Sentient Approach

Over the past fifteen years we have refined an approach to trading and investing in the financial markets based on cycles discovered 50 years ago by JM Hurst.

Understand the Markets

Financial markets are not purely mathematical. Nor are they random. Step one is to understand “The Game” of how the markets actually work.

The Hidden Rhythm

Fifty years ago JM Hurst discovered that financial markets are influenced by multiple dynamic cycles. Step two is to master a cycle analysis.

Trading Decisions

Armed with knowledge and analysis, step three is to make consistent trading or investing decisions.

Analysis & Trading

JM Hurst claimed that cycle analysis is as much an art as a science. Our ground-breaking software combines the science with the art to perform an expert analysis using Hurst’s original process. Our stand-alone software and indicators for popular trading platforms, including Tradingview, NinjaTrader and MT4, have enabled professional traders around the world to master the art of cycle analysis and trading for the past fifteen years.

Customer feedback

“The quality of the FLD Trading Strategy course is exceptional - a great investment not only on getting the best out of the software but also from implementing the Hurst technique into actual trading with a degree of confidence with excellent ongoing support.”

Raj Johal – UK

“The FLD Trading Strategy is without a doubt the best training course I have ever done. It is a thorough end to end training for a trading strategy that leaves nothing out. The recipe is the entire recipe, it does not leave out a secret ingredient. Since completing the course my trading results have been phenomenal. The price of the course in time and money is puny when compared to the huge return it can give.”

Geoff Harnet – Melbourne, Australia

“Modules [of the FLD trading strategy course] completed twice! Sheer brilliance. Best trading course in my 20 years of trading.”

Steve Hoo – Suffolk, England

,

“As the top traders in the world would agree, the two components of great trades are when the correct TIME and PRICE meet. Cycles cannot not be denied, so what is the best methodology/toolsuite to utilize? Be skeptical like I was and try Sentient/Hurst Cycles for 90 days. If you don't make some of the best trades you've had (even by the 60 day mark), move on. Don't think you will.”

Bruce L – Tampa, Florida US

,

“David Hickson's course provides the perfect mix of JM Hurst's research (for further study) and David Hickson's derived trading strategy (for immediate application of cycle principles).”

Dr. Chris S. – Germany

,

“Eye opening insight that brings analysis to a whole new level.”

A.L – Hong Kong

,

“I have been using Sentient Trader and Hurst cycle analysis for a few years. I admit it took me some time to get it, but once I grasped the FLD trading strategy, it made a very positive difference in my trading results. It's a fairly simple strategy, but very powerful. Give it a try and see for yourself.”

Roy Gatling – Austin, Texas US

,

“Great introductory course [Trading with Hurst Cycles: Foundation] for those wishing to learn about Hurst's discoveries and use them to trade profitably.”

Ian Williams – Australia

,

“Having done Gann, etc I find that the Hurst way as how David has developed it is much better to use for trading.”

MT – Melbourne, Australia

,

“I have been trading now for close to 20 years and I have to say that Sentient Trader is one of the best programs I have ever seen. While it is one dimensional in that it only deals with Hurst cycles, it does so in a way that I have never seen before. The sheer amount of logic that has gone into it is incredible! The bottom line is it delivers exactly what it claims to. Best of luck with it!”

Joe Gerbino – New Jersey, US

,

“I have been doing cyclical analysis for years [ ... ] signed up for Sentient Trader so as to better identify and predict cycle timing and it has delivered. I probably recouped the annual fee in the first 2 weeks of my trial period. [ ... ] the FLD strategy crystallized for me last week and it’s clear to me this is where the true genius of your work lays. [ ... ] I see the 20d FLD pattern now in every underlying I look at - I can’t not see it! I am so excited to apply what you’ve discovered in the FLD with the power of Sentient Trader. Thank you so much for sharing what you’ve learned,”

Jake Razem – Denver, Colorado, US
