Walter Bressert is editor and publisher of WB Intraday Review & Forecaster and WB Trades OnLine, providing daily commentary and trade recommendations on the S&P 500 Index. He is credited with bringing cycle analysis into futures trading after becoming interested in cycles in the late 1960s. His research, focusing on quantifying cycles and combining cycles with price performance, led to the development of the Bressert Method of Cycle Analysis, which combines oscillators and timing bands. In 1974, he began publishing the HAL Commodity Cycles newsletter, which quickly became one of the largest and most popular newsletters in the business. In 1979 he joined with Tim Slater to build CompuTrac, the first computerized market analysis program available to the public. He retired from HAL Commodity Cycles in 1985 after 12 years but came back with the CycleWatch newsletter from 1991 through 1995 and developed his current software, ProfitTrader, based on his timing methodology.
