Charles Nenner Research Center

What Charles Nenner Research Center does

Charles Nenner Research Center, operating legally as Cycles Institute FZE, is a privately held subscription research firm founded in 2001 and headquartered in Dubai, UAE. The company distributes a proprietary market forecasting service built around Dr. Charles Nenner's cycle analysis methodology, which the firm claims combines multi-timeframe technical cycles, Fourier analysis, Sunspot activity correlations, and mathematical price-target calculations into a two-part system that determines both the direction and the timing of market moves alongside specific entry/exit price levels. The algorithm was reportedly developed and refined while Dr. Nenner served Goldman Sachs trading desks from 1997 to 2008 and has been offered commercially since 2001.

The product is structured as a direct-to-consumer digital subscription delivered via weekly email, video tutorials, podcasts, and a website content library. Four pricing tiers are publicly disclosed at $90 (Crypto), $108 (Stocks), $180 (Basic), and $450 (Plus) per month, with annual billing offering roughly 10% discount, plus a 30-day free trial. Coverage spans stocks, ETFs, currencies, commodities, bonds, and cryptocurrencies. The customer base is described as institutional (hedge funds, banks, brokerage firms, family offices, corporations, government entities) and individual investors across the USA, Canada, Brazil, the UK, and Australia.

The firm is founder-owned and founder-operated with no external funding, no subsidiaries, no M&A history, and 1–10 employees. Distribution is entirely digital and self-serve, supplemented by an enterprise direct-sales channel for customized proposals. The company has built an earned-media footprint through recurring appearances on CNBC, Bloomberg, Forbes, BBC, Financial Times, Fox Business, and WSJ, and has been publicly recognized by Forbes as featuring "one of the legendary technical analysts" and by the Financial Post as one of the top technical research firms in North America.
