Cycle Timing Framework - Adaptive Point Mapping

This indicator is a visual cycle-timing framework designed to help traders study when recurring turning points tend to occur within a repeating market cycle.

Instead of reacting only to indicators that respond after price moves, this tool focuses on time structure — mapping recurring points inside a fixed-length cycle and projecting that same structure across past, current, and forward cycles for contextual reference.

Each cycle point is fully configurable, allowing the model to be tuned to individual assets, timeframes, or market regimes.

🔍 What This Indicator Does

Draws a repeating cycle template (default: 122 bars)

Displays up to 35 recurring cycle points per cycle

Projects the same structure across:

Past cycles (for validation)

The current cycle (for context)

Future cycles (for planning reference)

Allows point-by-point customization:

Enable / disable any point

Independent bar offsets per point

Individual colors for visual grouping

Optional tolerance windows (± bars) around each point

Optional numbered markers for clean point identification

This is a non-predictive, non-trading tool intended for cycle research, timing context, and structural alignment.

🛠 How to Use It (Workflow)
1️⃣ Choose Your Timeframe First

Cycle behavior is timeframe-dependent.
Decide whether you are working on Daily, Weekly, or another timeframe before tuning offsets.

2️⃣ Define the Cycle

Cycle Length (bars)
Sets the total cycle duration (default: 122).

Bars Back to Current Cycle Start
Anchors the current cycle to a known starting point.

Bars Back Lookback
Controls how many historical cycles are displayed.

3️⃣ Tune the Points

In Point Offsets (Bars):

Adjust each point so its vertical line aligns with recurring highs, lows, or pivots.

Disable points that are not relevant to the asset.

Use color groupings to distinguish high-probability or structural points.

This tuning process is intentionally manual to encourage asset-specific calibration.

4️⃣ Use Window Bands for Flexibility

Enable ± Window Bands if turning points tend to vary by a bar or two.

This helps visualize timing zones instead of single-bar precision.

5️⃣ Validate with Bar Replay

Use TradingView’s Bar Replay feature to:

Step through historical price action

Observe how consistently points align

Refine offsets where necessary

This is the intended validation method for this indicator.

🎯 Intended Use Cases

Cycle and rhythm analysis

Timing context for other indicators

Structural alignment across market phases

Studying recurring turning points on a specific asset

Educational and research-oriented cycle mapping

This indicator is designed to complement — not replace — price action, trend analysis, or risk management.

⚠ Important Notes

This script does not place trades

It does not generate buy/sell signals

It does not guarantee future outcomes

Forward projections are visual references only

Always confirm with additional analysis

This tool is best used as a context layer, helping answer when something may be more likely to occur — not what will occur.

🧠 Final Thought

Markets often move with rhythm, but that rhythm is asset-specific.
This indicator is intentionally flexible so the same cycle engine can be adapted to different instruments without forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

If you study cycles, this script gives you a clean, disciplined framework to do so directly on the chart.
