Schaff Trend Cycle w/ MACD HistogramWhat Is Schaff Trend Cycle? (Reference from Investopedia)
The Schaff Trend Cycle (STC) is a charting indicator that is commonly used to identify market trends and provide buy and sell signals to traders. Developed in 1999 by noted currency trader Doug Schaff, STC is a type of oscillator and is based on the assumption that, regardless of time frame, currency trends accelerate and decelerate in cyclical patterns.
How STC Works
Many traders are familiar with moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) charting tool, which is an indicator that is used to forecast price action and is notorious for lagging due to its slow responsive signal line . By contrast, STC’s signal line enables it to detect trends sooner. In fact, it typically identifies up and downtrends long before MACD indicator.
While STC is computed using the same exponential moving averages as MACD, it adds a novel cycle component to improve accuracy and reliability. While MACD is simply computed using a series of moving average, the cycle aspect of STC is based on time (e.g. number of days).
It should also be noted that, although STC was developed primarily for fast currency markets, it may be effectively employed across all markets, just like MACD. It can be applied to intraday charts, such as five minutes or one hour charts, as well as daily, weekly, or monthly time frames.
What's included the indicator?
Zero MACD lag algorithm (can be enabled/disabled)
MACD Histogram (has a different calculation to show the trend clearly. Can revert to original algo but will not truly reflect the current trend.)
Histogram peaks
STC pivots
How to use this indicator?
Use the STC overbought/oversold to determine trend strength.
Use the MACD zeroline crossover to determine the trend if bull/bear
For risky trades:
Long or cover when STC shows a bullish pivot. Exit or short on STC bear pivots
For conservative trades:
Long when MACD histogram crosses above midline. Exit or short on STC bear pivots
Settings:
Default is Fast - 5, Slow - 20. You can turn it up to Fast - 10, Slow - 30.
You can enable or disable certain features if you dont like to see them.

BurgerCrypto.com: MA based band for bitcoin cycle highs&lowsWarning: This script works only on a daily chart and only works for bitcoin charts with a long history. Best to be used on the BLX chart as it goes back to July 2010.
This script shows you the Moving Average with the length of a full bitcoin cycle, in which a cycle is defined as a period between two reward halvings; i.e. 210.000 blocks.
After data analysis in Python, I found that the average inter arrival time is a bit lower than the often communicated 10minutes; it's 9.46minutes, which makes the 210.000 block interval equal to 1379days.
The 1379d Moving Average seems to serve well as a support for the price of bitcoin over time and it's 4th 2^n multiple did a good job in catching the cycle tops.

Uses the calculation for creating chandelier stops as a basis for the bands. Seems to be more consistent especially over higher TFs. Still needs to be tuned for a good price fit.
Turnover Cycle MATurnover Cycle indicator
Turnover Cycle indicates how many days the market capitalization will be completed traded once.
The MA and EMA based on the Turnover Cycle would help you to observe the average market holding shares' price position.
If you buy the share when the price is lower than the average market holding shares' price position, that will dramatically increase your chances of returns.
!!!!! Due to the financial data has a limited period, the latest 500 bars is the true value.
Please don't refer to any value on the bar before 500.
Please enjoy.

In-Phase & Quadrature IFMThis indicator provides a continuous measurement of a securities' dominant cycle period, based on Ehlers ever-impressive reports and analysis tools.
This method uses in-phase and quadrature analysis, making use of the imaginary domain. This method is prone to favor longer periods and can
allow noise to greatly affect the end result.
>What does that even mean?
Essentially, you get a real-time (low lag) plot of the cycle period in bars. If the I-Q IFM reads "16" then you can expect the distance between swing highs and swing lows to be approx. 16 bars.
>How is this useful?
When you throw an RSI or MACD on your chart, you can now set the "Period" or "Length" value with confidence.
Knowing the dominant cycle period tells you that price reversal will occur around these intervals.
>Extending.
The better way to use this tool is by extending the script into any indicators that use a length or period that is set manually.
Simply use the "len" variable in your custom script to replace your input values.
Now you have a way to adaptively set the period value, using signal processing theory instead of just intuition ;)

[DEM] Sequential Label Sequential Label is designed to display sequential counting methodology directly on the price chart by placing dynamic labels below each bar that show the current Sequential count value. The indicator implements a sequential system by tracking consecutive closes above or below the close from four periods ago, calculating separate upward and downward sequences, then displaying the net difference as a numbered label with color-coded backgrounds (green for positive/bullish counts, red for negative/bearish counts). Each label shows the absolute value of the current Sequential position and automatically updates and repositions with each new bar, providing traders with a real-time visual representation of momentum exhaustion cycles and potential reversal points according to sequential methodology without cluttering the chart with permanent markings.

PnL Bubble [%] | Fractalyst1. What's the indicator purpose?
The PnL Bubble indicator transforms your strategy's trade PnL percentages into an interactive bubble chart with professional-grade statistics and performance analytics. It helps traders quickly assess system profitability, understand win/loss distribution patterns, identify outliers, and make data-driven strategy improvements.
How does it work?
Think of this indicator as a visual report card for your trading performance. Here's what it does:
What You See
Colorful Bubbles: Each bubble represents one of your trades
Blue/Cyan bubbles = Winning trades (you made money)
Red bubbles = Losing trades (you lost money)
Bigger bubbles = Bigger wins or losses
Smaller bubbles = Smaller wins or losses
How It Organizes Your Trades:
Like a Photo Album: Instead of showing all your trades at once (which would be messy), it shows them in "pages" of 500 trades each:
Page 1: Your first 500 trades
Page 2: Trades 501-1000
Page 3: Trades 1001-1500, etc.
What the Numbers Tell You:
Average Win: How much money you typically make on winning trades
Average Loss: How much money you typically lose on losing trades
Expected Value (EV): Whether your trading system makes money over time
Positive EV = Your system is profitable long-term
Negative EV = Your system loses money long-term
Payoff Ratio (R): How your average win compares to your average loss
R > 1 = Your wins are bigger than your losses
R < 1 = Your losses are bigger than your wins
Why This Matters:
At a Glance: You can instantly see if you're a profitable trader or not
Pattern Recognition: Spot if you have more big wins than big losses
Performance Tracking: Watch how your trading improves over time
Realistic Expectations: Understand what "average" performance looks like for your system
The Cool Visual Effects:
Animation: The bubbles glow and shimmer to make the chart more engaging
Highlighting: Your biggest wins and losses get extra attention with special effects
Tooltips: hover any bubble to see details about that specific trade.
What are the underlying calculations?
The indicator processes trade PnL data using a dual-matrix architecture for optimal performance:
Dual-Matrix System:
• Display Matrix (display_matrix): Bounded to 500 trades for rendering performance
• Statistics Matrix (stats_matrix): Unbounded storage for complete statistical accuracy
Trade Classification & Aggregation:
// Separate wins, losses, and break-even trades
if val > 0.0
pos_sum += val // Sum winning trades
pos_count += 1 // Count winning trades
else if val < 0.0
neg_sum += val // Sum losing trades
neg_count += 1 // Count losing trades
else
zero_count += 1 // Count break-even trades
Statistical Averages:
avg_win = pos_count > 0 ? pos_sum / pos_count : na
avg_loss = neg_count > 0 ? math.abs(neg_sum) / neg_count : na
Win/Loss Rates:
total_obs = pos_count + neg_count + zero_count
win_rate = pos_count / total_obs
loss_rate = neg_count / total_obs
Expected Value (EV):
ev_value = (avg_win × win_rate) - (avg_loss × loss_rate)
Payoff Ratio (R):
R = avg_win ÷ |avg_loss|
Contribution Analysis:
ev_pos_contrib = avg_win × win_rate // Positive EV contribution
ev_neg_contrib = avg_loss × loss_rate // Negative EV contribution
How to integrate with any trading strategy?
Equity Change Tracking Method:
//@version=6
strategy("Your Strategy with Equity Change Export", overlay=true)
float prev_trade_equity = na
float equity_change_pct = na
if barstate.isconfirmed and na(prev_trade_equity)
prev_trade_equity := strategy.equity
trade_just_closed = strategy.closedtrades != strategy.closedtrades
if trade_just_closed and not na(prev_trade_equity)
current_equity = strategy.equity
equity_change_pct := ((current_equity - prev_trade_equity) / prev_trade_equity) * 100
prev_trade_equity := current_equity
else
equity_change_pct := na
plot(equity_change_pct, "Equity Change %", display=display.data_window)
Integration Steps:
1. Add equity tracking code to your strategy
2. Load both strategy and PnL Bubble indicator on the same chart
3. In bubble indicator settings, select your strategy's equity tracking output as data source
4. Configure visualization preferences (colors, effects, page navigation)
How does the pagination system work?
The indicator uses an intelligent pagination system to handle large trade datasets efficiently:
Page Organization:
• Page 1: Trades 1-500 (most recent)
• Page 2: Trades 501-1000
• Page 3: Trades 1001-1500
• Page N: Trades to
Example: With 1,500 trades total (3 pages available):
• User selects Page 1: Shows trades 1-500
• User selects Page 4: Automatically falls back to Page 3 (trades 1001-1500)
5. Understanding the Visual Elements
Bubble Visualization:
• Color Coding: Cyan/blue gradients for wins, red gradients for losses
• Size Mapping: Bubble size proportional to trade magnitude (larger = bigger P&L)
• Priority Rendering: Largest trades displayed first to ensure visibility
• Gradient Effects: Color intensity increases with trade magnitude within each category
Interactive Tooltips:
Each bubble displays quantitative trade information:
tooltip_text = outcome + " | PnL: " + pnl_str +
"\nDate: " + date_str + " " + time_str +
"\nTrade #" + str.tostring(trade_number) + " (Page " + str.tostring(active_page) + ")" +
"\nRank: " + str.tostring(rank) + " of " + str.tostring(n_display_rows) +
"\nPercentile: " + str.tostring(percentile, "#.#") + "%" +
"\nMagnitude: " + str.tostring(magnitude_pct, "#.#") + "%"
Example Tooltip:
Win | PnL: +2.45%
Date: 2024.03.15 14:30
Trade #1,247 (Page 3)
Rank: 5 of 347
Percentile: 98.6%
Magnitude: 85.2%
Reference Lines & Statistics:
• Average Win Line: Horizontal reference showing typical winning trade size
• Average Loss Line: Horizontal reference showing typical losing trade size
• Zero Line: Threshold separating wins from losses
• Statistical Labels: EV, R-Ratio, and contribution analysis displayed on chart
What do the statistical metrics mean?
Expected Value (EV):
Represents the mathematical expectation per trade in percentage terms
EV = (Average Win × Win Rate) - (Average Loss × Loss Rate)
Interpretation:
• EV > 0: Profitable system with positive mathematical expectation
• EV = 0: Break-even system, profitability depends on execution
• EV < 0: Unprofitable system with negative mathematical expectation
Example: EV = +0.34% means you expect +0.34% profit per trade on average
Payoff Ratio (R):
Quantifies the risk-reward relationship of your trading system
R = Average Win ÷ |Average Loss|
Interpretation:
• R > 1.0: Wins are larger than losses on average (favorable risk-reward)
• R = 1.0: Wins and losses are equal in magnitude
• R < 1.0: Losses are larger than wins on average (unfavorable risk-reward)
Example: R = 1.5 means your average win is 50% larger than your average loss
Contribution Analysis (Σ):
Breaks down the components of expected value
Positive Contribution (Σ+) = Average Win × Win Rate
Negative Contribution (Σ-) = Average Loss × Loss Rate
Purpose:
• Shows how much wins contribute to overall expectancy
• Shows how much losses detract from overall expectancy
• Net EV = Σ+ - Σ- (Expected Value per trade)
Example: Σ+: 1.23% means wins contribute +1.23% to expectancy
Example: Σ-: -0.89% means losses drag expectancy by -0.89%
Win/Loss Rates:
Win Rate = Count(Wins) ÷ Total Trades
Loss Rate = Count(Losses) ÷ Total Trades
Shows the probability of winning vs losing trades
Higher win rates don't guarantee profitability if average losses exceed average wins
7. Demo Mode & Synthetic Data Generation
When using built-in sources (close, open, etc.), the indicator generates realistic demo trades for testing:
if isBuiltInSource(source_data)
// Generate random trade outcomes with realistic distribution
u_sign = prand(float(time), float(bar_index))
if u_sign < 0.5
v_push := -1.0 // Loss trade
else
// Skewed distribution favoring smaller wins (realistic)
u_mag = prand(float(time) + 9876.543, float(bar_index) + 321.0)
k = 8.0 // Skewness factor
t = math.pow(u_mag, k)
v_push := 2.5 + t * 8.0 // Win trade
Demo Characteristics:
• Realistic win/loss distribution mimicking actual trading patterns
• Skewed distribution favoring smaller wins over large wins
• Deterministic randomness for consistent demo results
• Includes jitter effects to prevent visual overlap

Disclaimer & Risk Considerations:
Important: Historical performance metrics, including positive Expected Value (EV), do not guarantee future trading success. Statistical measures are derived from finite sample data and subject to inherent limitations:
• Sample Bias: Historical data may not represent future market conditions or regime changes
• Ergodicity Assumption: Markets are non-stationary; past statistical relationships may break down
• Survivorship Bias: Strategies showing positive historical EV may fail during different market cycles
• Parameter Instability: Optimal parameters identified in backtesting often degrade in forward testing
• Transaction Cost Evolution: Slippage, spreads, and commission structures change over time
• Behavioral Factors: Live trading introduces psychological elements absent in backtesting
• Black Swan Events: Extreme market events can invalidate statistical assumptions instantaneously

Setup Score OscillatorSetup Score Oscillator – Full Description
🎯 Purpose of the Script
This script is a manual trading setup scoring tool, designed to help traders quantify the quality of a trade setup by combining multiple technical, cyclical, and contextual signals.
Instead of relying on a single indicator, the trader manually selects which signals are present, and the script calculates a total score (0–100%), displayed as an oscillator in a separate panel (like RSI or MACD).
🔧 How it works in practice
1. Manual signal inputs
The script presents a set of checkboxes in the settings, where the trader can enable/disable the following signals:
✅ Confirmed Support/Resistance
✅ Aligned Volume Profile
✅ Favorable Cyclic Timing
✅ Valid Trend Line
✅ Aligned Cyclical Moving Averages
✅ Relevant Fibonacci Level
✅ Classic Volume Signal (spike, dry-up, etc.)
✅ Oscillator confirmation (e.g., divergences)
✅ Extreme Sentiment
✅ Relevant or incoming News
Each selected signal contributes to the total score based on its weight.
2. Scoring system
Each signal has a default weight (e.g., 20% for support/resistance, 15% for cycles, etc.).
Optionally, the trader can enable the “custom weights” checkbox and adjust each signal’s weight directly in the settings.
3. Score visualization
The final score (sum of all active weights) is plotted as an oscillator ranging from 0 to 100%, with dynamic coloring:
Range Color Meaning
0–39% Red No valid setup
40–54% Yellow Watchlist only
55–69% Orange Good setup
70–100% Green Strong setup
Several horizontal threshold lines are displayed:
50% → neutral threshold
40%, 55%, 70% → operational levels
4. Optional background coloring
When the score exceeds 55% or 70%, the oscillator background lightly changes color to highlight stronger setups (non-intrusive).
📌 Practical benefits
Objectifies subjective analysis: each decision becomes a number.
Prevents overtrading: no entries if the score is too low.
Adaptable to any trading style: swing, intraday, positional.
User-friendly: no coding needed – just tick boxes.

Setup Score Oscillator – Descrizione completa
🎯 Obiettivo dello script
Lo script è uno strumento manuale di valutazione dei setup di trading, pensato per aiutare il trader a quantificare la qualità di un'opportunità operativa basandosi su più segnali tecnici, ciclici e contestuali.
Invece di affidarsi a un solo indicatore, il trader seleziona manualmente quali segnali sono presenti, e lo script calcola un punteggio complessivo percentuale (0–100%), rappresentato come oscillatore in una finestra separata (tipo RSI, MACD, ecc.).
🔧 Come funziona operativamente
1. Input manuale dei segnali
Lo script mostra una serie di checkbox nelle impostazioni, dove il trader può attivare o disattivare i seguenti segnali:
✅ Supporto/Resistenza confermata
✅ Volume Profile allineato
✅ Cicli o timing favorevole
✅ Trend line valida
✅ Medie mobili cicliche allineate
✅ Livello di Fibonacci rilevante
✅ Volume classico significativo (spike, dry-up)
✅ Conferme da oscillatori (es. divergenze)
✅ Sentiment estremo (es. euforia o panico)
✅ News importanti imminenti o appena uscite
Ogni casella attiva contribuisce al punteggio totale, con un peso specifico.
2. Sistema di punteggio
Ogni segnale ha un peso predefinito (es. 20% per supporti/resistenze, 15% per cicli, ecc.).
Facoltativamente, il trader può attivare la funzione “Enable custom weights” per personalizzare i pesi di ciascun segnale direttamente da input.
3. Visualizzazione del punteggio
Il punteggio complessivo (somma dei pesi attivati) viene tracciato come oscillatore da 0 a 100%, con colori dinamici:
Range Colore Significato
0–39% Rosso Nessun setup valido
40–54% Giallo Osservazione
55–69% Arancione Setup buono
70–1005 Verde Setup forte
Sono tracciate anche delle linee guida orizzontali a:
50% → soglia neutra
40%, 55%, 70% → soglie operative
4. Colorazione dello sfondo (facoltativa)
Quando il punteggio supera 55% o 70%, lo sfondo dell’oscillatore cambia leggermente colore per evidenziare il segnale (non invasivo).
📌 Vantaggi pratici
Oggettivizza l’analisi soggettiva: ogni decisione manuale si trasforma in un numero.
Evita overtrading: se il punteggio è troppo basso, non si entra.
Adattabile a ogni stile: swing, intraday, position.
Facile da usare anche senza codice: basta spuntare le caselle.

Bollinger Volatility AnalyzerThe Bollinger Volatility Analyzer (BVA) is a powerful enhancement of the traditional Bollinger Bands indicator, tailored to help traders identify volatility cycles and catch potential breakouts with better precision and timing. It builds upon the foundational concept of Bollinger Bands—using a moving average and standard deviation bands—but adds crucial insights into market contraction and expansion, which can be instrumental in timing entries and exits.
Here's how it works and why it's useful
At its core, the indicator calculates a moving average (called the "basis") and plots two bands—one above and one below—based on a multiple of standard deviation. These bands expand during volatile periods and contract during quiet ones. The width between these bands, normalized as a percentage of the basis, gives us a sense of how compressed or expanded the market currently is. When the band width drops below a user-defined threshold (like 2%), the script highlights this with an orange triangle below the bar. This is the "squeeze" condition, signaling a potential buildup of market energy—a kind of calm before the storm.
What makes this version of Bollinger Bands particularly powerful is that it not only detects squeezes, but also tells you when price breaks out of that squeeze range. If price closes above the upper band after a squeeze, a green "Breakout ↑" label is shown; if it closes below the lower band, a red "Breakout ↓" appears. These breakout labels act as entry signals, suggesting that volatility is returning and a directional move has begun.
This indicator is especially useful in markets that tend to alternate between consolidation and breakout phases, such as forex, crypto, and even individual stocks. Traders who look for early signs of momentum—whether for swing trading, scalping, or position building—can benefit from this tool. During a quiet market phase, the indicator warns you that a move might be coming; when the move starts, it tells you the direction.
In fast-moving markets, BVA helps filter out noise by focusing only on high-probability conditions: quiet consolidation followed by a strong breakout. It’s not a complete system by itself—it works best when paired with volume confirmation or oscillators like RSI—but as a volatility trigger and directional guide, it’s a reliable component of a trading workflow.
OTC Seasonal forecasting tool 2.0Seasonality Forecasting Tool – Advanced Seasonal Pattern Analysis (Inspired by Bernd Skorupinski Methodology)
📈 Description:
This script provides a structured way to analyze seasonal trends across financial markets, helping traders identify historical patterns that tend to repeat at specific times of the year. Inspired by Bernd Skorupinski’s institutional strategy, it has been refined with enhanced smoothing and customization options to improve adaptability across asset classes like commodities, forex, and indices.
👉 Core Functionality:
Analyzes historical price data over multiple lookback periods (5, 10, and 15 years) to calculate average seasonal performance.
Generates a smoothed seasonal curve that visually highlights periods of expected strength or weakness.
Allows users to customize lookback periods and adjust smoothing parameters, offering flexibility based on market type and volatility.
This tool is designed to be used as a contextual filter rather than a trade trigger—adding a layer of time-based confluence to enhance decision-making.
📊 Applied Example – Crude Oil Seasonality & Demand Zone Alignment
To demonstrate practical usage, here’s an example using Light Crude Oil Futures (CL1!) where seasonal tendencies and price structure aligned to create a high-probability setup.
Setup Steps:
1️⃣ Structural Context – Price Reaching a Demand Zone:
The market had been in a decline and approached a well-defined institutional demand area, which historically attracts buying interest.
2️⃣ Seasonality Analysis – Bullish Bias Identified:
The Seasonality Tool was applied using three distinct lookback windows:
5-year average 🟢
10-year average 🔴
15-year average 🔵
All three seasonal curves showed consistent upward trends during the late December to February period, historically signaling accumulation phases in crude oil markets.
3️⃣ Execution – Trade Setup:
With both:
Price action confirming a technical demand zone,
and seasonality indicating a strong historical bullish period,
a long position was taken targeting the next significant supply zone.
Result:
The trade unfolded as anticipated, with price rebounding strongly and delivering a risk-reward ratio of approximately 1:5.8—an outcome consistent with historical seasonal performance patterns.
⚙️ What Sets This Tool Apart:
Combines multi-timeframe seasonal data into a unified, easy-to-interpret visual output.
Includes custom smoothing algorithms to reduce noise, making the seasonal curves clearer and more reliable in fast-moving markets.
Offers flexibility to analyze not only commodities but also forex, indices, and other instruments influenced by recurring cycles (e.g., agricultural products, metals).
📌 Best Practices for Use:
Apply the tool alongside key technical zones (demand/supply) to find optimal trade timing.
Look for confluence across at least two of the seasonal curves (e.g., 5-year and 10-year averages agreeing on direction).
Use in combination with other market analysis tools—such as valuation indicators, COT data, or smart money flow—for full confirmation.

Mercury Venus Conjunction Sextiles 2019-2026How to Use It and What It Means Astrologically
How to Use the Script in TradingView
This Pine Script, called "Mercury Venus Aspects 2019–2026," is made to highlight the dates of Mercury-Venus conjunctions (0°) and sextiles (60°) from 2019 to 2026 on TradingView charts. Here's how to use it:
click “Add to Chart.” It will apply to any chart you have open—stocks, forex, crypto, etc.
Customize the Display
You can turn on/off the visibility of conjunctions and sextiles using checkboxes under "Inputs" in the settings.
You can also adjust the label size (small, normal, large, or huge) for better readability on your chart.
What You’ll See on the Chart
Conjunctions appear as blue shaded zones with labels like “C1,” “C2,” etc. These mark dates when Mercury and Venus are at the same degree.
Sextiles show up in orange with labels like “S1,” “S2,” marking when they’re about 60° apart.
Each event spans a 2-day window (one day before and after the exact aspect).
How to Use It Practically
You can overlay the script on market charts to look for any patterns between these planetary aspects and price movements.
You can also use it to plan personal or financial activities, since these aspects often affect communication, money, and relationships.
What to Keep in Mind
Dates are approximate and based on average planetary cycles (Mercury: ~88 days, Venus: ~225 days). For exact timing, use an ephemeris.
Only conjunctions and sextiles are shown. Oppositions, squares, and trines aren’t included because Mercury and Venus never get far enough apart (more than 75°).
This script is great for astrologers, traders, and enthusiasts who want to see Mercury-Venus aspects directly on their charts and explore their possible effects.
Astrological Meaning of Mercury-Venus Aspects
What Mercury and Venus Represent
Mercury rules communication, thinking, technology, travel, and trade. In global events (mundane astrology), it affects media, markets, and movement of information.
Venus is about love, beauty, money, and pleasure. It influences relationships, aesthetics, and finance. In the world stage, it’s linked to luxury, art, fashion, and economic balance.
When Mercury and Venus form aspects (like conjunctions or sextiles), their energies mix in helpful ways that can affect people and events.
Conjunction (0°) – Mercury and Venus Together
These two planets are in the same sign and degree, so their qualities merge.
For people:
Positive: Smooth communication, charm, creativity, and better relationships. Great for romance, art, and social interaction.
Negative: Too much focus on appearances, sweet talk, or pleasure can cloud judgment. Decisions may lack depth.
For the economy:
Positive: Boosts in media, entertainment, fashion, and tech. Good for trade, deals, and optimism in financial markets.
Negative: Risk of overspending or unrealistic expectations. May cause small market bubbles or misleading hype.
Sextile (60°) – Mercury and Venus in Harmony
These two planets are two signs apart, creating a smooth, supportive energy.
For people:
Positive: Easy conversations, creative teamwork, small financial wins, and pleasant social experiences.
Negative: Energy is mild, so opportunities might be missed if not acted on. People may avoid hard decisions.
For the economy:
Positive: Gradual improvements in areas like marketing, social media, hospitality, and design. Good for diplomacy.
Negative: Lack of strong initiative could limit bigger gains. Minor missteps are possible due to a laid-back attitude.
General Effects
These aspects are mostly beneficial. They support creativity, financial thinking, and social harmony.
Downsides: Conjunctions may lead to overindulgence or shallow choices, while sextiles may cause missed chances due to low energy.
These aspects rarely cause major economic shifts on their own but can amplify trends depending on other planetary influences (like Saturn or Uranus).
Zodiac Sign Influence
Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): Bold communication, energetic spending, gains in media or entertainment.
Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): Practical results, stable finances, growth in real-world assets like property or food.
Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): Intellectual growth, tech innovation, and social ideas flourish.
Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): Emotional depth in conversations, artistic growth, and financial sensitivity.
Mercury-Venus aspects are gentle but helpful. They combine logic (Mercury) with emotion and value (Venus). They’re good times for love, communication, and money—but their benefits depend on how we use the energy. This script lets you easily track these moments on a chart and explore how they might align with real-life trends or decisions.

Window Seasonality IndicatorThis is a time window seasonal returns indicator. That is, it will provide the mean returns for a given time window based on a given number of lookbacks set by the user. The script finds matching time windows, e.g., 1st week of March going back 5 years or 9:00-10:00 window of every day going 50 days, and then calculates an average return for that window close price with respect to the close price in the immediately preceding time window, e.g. last week of February or 8:00-9:00 close price, respectively.
There are 4 input options:
1) Historical Periods to Average: Set the number of matching historical windows with which to calculate an average price. The max is 730 lookback windows. Note: for monthly or weekly windows, setting too large a number will cause the script to error out.
2) Use Open Price: calculates the seasonal returns using the open price rather than close price.
3) Show Bands: select from 1 Gaussian standard deviation or a nonparamateric ranked confidence interval. As a rough heuristic, the Gaussian band requires at least 30 lookback periods, and the ranked confidence interval requires 50 or more.
4) Upper Percentile: set the upper cutoff for ranked confidence interval.
5) Lower Percentile: set the lower cutoff for ranked confidence interval.
Please be aware, this indicator does not use rigorous statistical methodology and does not imply predictive power. You'll notice the range bands are very wide. Do not trade solely based on this indicator! Certain time windows, such as weekly and monthly, will make more sense applied to commodities, where annual cycles play a role in its supply and demand dynamics. Hourly windows are more useful in looking at equities markets. I like to look at equities with 1-hr windows to see if there is some pattern to overnight behavior or for market open and close.
XAMD/AMDX ICT 01 [TradingFinder] SMC Quarterly Theory Cycles🔵 Introduction
The XAMD/AMDX strategy, combined with the Quarterly Theory, forms the foundation of a powerful market structure analysis. This indicator builds upon the principles of the Power of 3 strategy introduced by ICT, enhancing its application by incorporating an additional phase.
By extending the logic of Power of 3, the XAMD/AMDX tool provides a more detailed and comprehensive view of daily market behavior, offering traders greater precision in identifying key movements and opportunities
This approach divides the trading day into four distinct phases : Accumulation (19:00 - 01:00 EST), Manipulation (01:00 - 07:00 EST), Distribution (07:00 - 13:00 EST), and Continuation or Reversal (13:00 - 19:00 EST), collectively known as AMDX.
Each phase reflects a specific market behavior, providing a structured lens to interpret price action. Building on the fractal nature of time in financial markets, the Quarterly Theory introduces the Four Quarters Method, where a currency pair’s price range is divided into quarters.
These divisions, known as quarter points, highlight critical levels for analyzing and predicting market dynamics. Together, these principles allow traders to align their strategies with institutional trading patterns, offering deeper insights into market trends
🔵 How to Use
The AMDX framework provides a structured approach to understanding market behavior throughout the trading day. Each phase has its own characteristics and trading opportunities, allowing traders to align their strategies effectively. To get the most out of this tool, understanding the dynamics of each phase is essential.
🟣 Accumulation
During the Accumulation phase (19:00 - 01:00 EST), the market is typically quiet, with price movements confined to a narrow range. This phase is where institutional players accumulate their positions, setting the stage for future price movements.
Traders should use this time to study price patterns and prepare for the next phases. It’s a great opportunity to mark key support and resistance zones and set alerts for potential breakouts, as the low volatility makes immediate trading less attractive.
🟣 Manipulation
The Manipulation phase (01:00 - 07:00 EST) is often marked by sharp and deceptive price movements. Institutions create false breakouts to trigger stop-losses and trap retail traders into the wrong direction. Traders should remain cautious during this phase, focusing on identifying the areas of liquidity where these traps occur.
Watching for price reversals after these false moves can provide excellent entry opportunities, but patience and confirmation are crucial to avoid getting caught in the manipulation.
🟣 Distribution
The Distribution phase (07:00 - 13:00 EST) is where the day’s dominant trend typically emerges. Institutions execute large trades, resulting in significant price movements. This phase is ideal for trading with the trend, as the market provides clearer directional signals.
Traders should focus on identifying breakouts or strong momentum in the direction of the trend established during this period. This phase is also where traders can capitalize on setups identified earlier, aligning their entries with the market’s broader sentiment.
🟣 Continuation or Reversal
Finally, the Continuation or Reversal phase (13:00 - 19:00 EST) offers a critical juncture to assess the market’s direction. This phase can either reinforce the established trend or signal a reversal as institutions adjust their positions.
Traders should observe price behavior closely during this time, looking for patterns that confirm whether the trend is likely to continue or reverse. This phase is particularly useful for adjusting open positions or initiating new trades based on emerging signals.

🔵 Conclusion
AMDX provides traders with a practical method to analyze daily market behavior by dividing the trading day into four key phases: Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution, and Continuation or Reversal. Each phase highlights specific market dynamics, offering insights into how institutional activity shapes price movements.
From the quiet buildup in the Accumulation phase to the decisive trends of the Distribution phase, and the critical transitions in Continuation or Reversal, this approach equips traders with the tools to anticipate movements and make informed decisions.
By recognizing the significance of each phase, traders can avoid common traps during Manipulation, capitalize on clear trends during Distribution, and adapt to changes in the final phase of the day.
The structured visualization of market phases simplifies decision-making for traders of all levels. By incorporating these principles into your trading strategy, you can enhance your ability to align with market trends, optimize entry and exit points, and achieve more consistent results in your trading journey.
Roman's Ranges(GOLD FUTURES)This indicator provides the user with Gold Future's previous day’s range and how long it took for the price to reach its first extreme for the day. This information is used to predict the most probable daily direction trend and estimate how long you should expect to hold your winning trade. The distance and time are based on the market open candle (6:30 am). It measures from the retracement wick of the candle to the last 5m close of the day’s first extreme low or high point. It also includes that distance in pts.
Previous market data does not guarantee future results, however, you can leverage the knowledge of the previous day’s ranges to set reasonable take profit levels and when your target is not met automatically, you know how long it took on the previous day to reach the day’s first low/high. If you are nearing that amount of time and your trade is not as profitable as expected, it is easier to get out with less profits using this estimated time rather than hoping the market closes in your favor.
Markets go through cycles and it can be difficult to trade them all if you have a fault expectation how how far the price is expected to move. Price tends to deviate slowly from the average ranges slightly day after day, but you can expect an average range to prevail throughout the week +/- 3 points. It can be very easy to be stuck on 5-point take-profit levels that you don’t pay attention to the average range being twice or three times that distance. The same can be said for the opposite scenario with having higher profit expectations than reasonably possible.
This indicator and my statements are not financial advice. This is meant for educational purposes only.
