EDP's: Estimated Decision Points

The markets trade in predictable, repeating cycles. Here you will see the current trend as compared to the EDP Trend Line, which reveals the repeating cycle. This will give you a clue as to what the market is likely to do next and how much longer the current trend will last, plus you can quickly recognize if the market is trading at price extremes. Occasionally there will be counter cyclical moves that I
will try to identify before they occur. EDP's are only indications of the timing and duration of a cycle not the strength of the move. EDP's do not project price objectives. Because of the thinness and volatility of the lumber futures contract I do not use EDP's as reliable market analysis.

Forecasts and observations are based upon technical and fundamental criterion at the time of publication and are not offers to buy or sell futures contracts. I do not trade Lumber or Panel Futures or Cash. Recommendations and observations are the opinions of Matt Layman, publisher of Layman's Lumber and Panel Guide. Constantly changing market conditions must be considered prior to implementation of any trading strategies. There is a risk of losing money when trading so do so at your own discretion. Reproduction and redistribution is prohibited without permission from the publisher and I reserve the right to change my mind without prior notice.
