Why Cycles Matter
Advancing the Cause
The FSC's 2025 live conference was more successful than we could have dreamed. Market luminaries Peter Borish, Larry Williams, Peter Eliades and more showed the absolute centrality of cycles to market behavior. The strategies they demonstrated were revelatory.
This year, we explore cycles not merely as forecasting tools, but as visible signs of an underlying order – patterns through which life, markets, and natural systems learn, adapt, and respond over time.

Lunch with Legends
Join guests of honor Larry Williams and Jake Bernstein
This year we're introducing a new way to support the preservation and expansion of the FSC archives. This will not be a keynote. It will be a working conversation. Market legends Larry Williams and Jake Bernstein will be the guests of honor!
Larry is currently writing a new book on cycles and Jake remains deeply engaged in applied trading and his leadership role within the Foundation. Both have spent decades shaping how serious traders and cycle practitioners think about markets – and they continue refining their work today.
Only a small group will be in attendance to ensure that attendees are able to engage in meaningful conversation with Jake and Larry and each other.
Anyone who registers for Cycles in the City while seats remain will receive a special invitation to attend this luncheon, included with your conference registration.
Seating is extremely limited for this promotion, and once the seats are claimed, the opportunity will be closed.
