Roger, as worded your post does not sound right. Maybe your concise wording is ambiguous and I mis-read. For Ocean tides full and new moon tides are both low and high. It is just that the magnitude (range) of the tides is larger. I would think it would be the same for earth tides.

Pursuing this investigation a little further, I added mag limits to the program.
I found that mag 6-10 gave prefect chance results whereas mag 5-6 gave extremely negative results.

This makes perfect sense. The database was California quakes and the only tidal correlation ever found was for small shallow angle thrust faults at LOW tide whereas Full and New moons are HIGH tide..
