So what exactly is the forecast from him. Totally confused

No forecast, no prediction here. The prediction will come, if at all, in hindsight, after the fact. Armstrong never predicts anything with any verifiable level of accuracy.

Armstrong does not have any original ideas. For example, it is common knowledge that capital has to flow into equities when interest rates decline and governments become over-indebted.

Armstrong bolts his crazy ECM onto these stolen concepts. His strength is re-publishing, wrapping things up as if they were predicted by his so-called Global Artificial Intelligence Computer which does not exist.

Check his assertions and predictions against the facts and actual events. He usually modifies the facts to fit his narrative. What some observers call predictions are mostly stories produced in hindsight. His ECM is a rigid time machinery constructed around some factors derived from a small series of historical economic events, assuming that history will repeat like a clockwork. If it does not fit, which usually is the case, then he uses mental constructs like cycle inversions and superposition events to fit the failing model to reality.

Most importantly, this model cannot be used for trading purposes. That is because if you want to trade, the first obvious problem to deal with is that his fixed time frame boundaries cannot be aligned with the actual timing of any real world events. Real word events like highs and lows do not align themselves with end of day, end of week , end of quarter, end of year which is what would be required to make Socrates work.

On failure, the system (which in fact is not a system because there is no code that executes the myriad of rules that are made up on the fly) always provides alternative paths of fitting reality in hindsight.

The most glaring workarounds are shifting from one time frame to another until finally something lines up with reality in hindsight. If even that does not work, then a cycle inversion is employed - and the system was right again.

So it is no wonder that people who are trying to make sense out of this get confused. Confusion is the inevitable result.

Martin Armstrong is a charlatan, and he spent 11 years in jail for a reason.
