The Cycle tool allows the user to specify a period of bars and then strips the chart so that patterns can be discerned
The control Bars are used to set the width (period) of the cycle. There is a display above the control line that indicates how many bars are in a period.
Cycle Tool properties can be accessed by clicking on the control bars or lines, right-clicking and selecting Object Properties.
