Combined EMA, SMMA, and 60-Day Cycle Indicator V2What This Script Does:
This script is designed to help traders visualize market trends and generate trading signals based on a combination of moving averages and price action. Here's a breakdown of its components and functionality:
Moving Averages:
EMAs (Exponential Moving Averages): These are indicators that smooth out price data to help identify trends. The script uses several EMAs:
200 EMA: A long-term trend indicator.
400 EMA: An even longer-term trend indicator.
55 EMA: A medium-term trend indicator.
89 EMA: Another medium-term trend indicator.
SMMA (Smoothed Moving Average): Similar to EMAs but with different smoothing. The script calculates:
21 SMMA: Short-term smoothed average.
9 SMMA: Very short-term smoothed average.
Cycle High and Low:
60-Day Cycle: The script looks back over the past 60 days to find the highest price (cycle high) and the lowest price (cycle low). These are plotted as horizontal lines on the chart.
Color-Coded Clouds:
Clouds: The script fills the area between certain EMAs with color-coded clouds to visually indicate trend conditions:
200 EMA vs. 400 EMA Cloud: Green when the 200 EMA is above the 400 EMA (bullish trend) and red when it’s below (bearish trend).
21 SMMA vs. 9 SMMA Cloud: Orange when the 21 SMMA is above the 9 SMMA and green when it’s below.
55 EMA vs. 89 EMA Cloud: Light green when the 55 EMA is above the 89 EMA and red when it’s below.
Trading Signals:
Buy Signal: This is shown when:
The price crosses above the 60-day low and
The EMAs indicate a bullish trend (e.g., the 200 EMA is above the 400 EMA and the 55 EMA is above the 89 EMA).
Sell Signal: This is shown when:
The price crosses below the 60-day high and
The EMAs indicate a bearish trend (e.g., the 200 EMA is below the 400 EMA and the 55 EMA is below the 89 EMA).
How It Helps Traders:
Trend Visualization: The colored clouds and EMA lines help you quickly see whether the market is in a bullish or bearish phase.
Trading Signals: The script provides clear visual signals (buy and sell labels) based on specific market conditions, helping you make more informed trading decisions.
In summary, this script combines several tools to help identify market trends and provide buy and sell signals based on price action relative to a 60-day high/low and the positioning of moving averages. It’s a useful tool for traders looking to visualize trends and automate some aspects of their trading strategy.

Machine Learning : Dominant Cycle Elastic Volume KNNAbout the Script
Dominant Cycle Elastic Volume KNN ,
is a non-parametric algorithm, which means that, initially it makes no assumptions about the underlying distribution of the time-series price as well as volume.
This approach gives it flexibility so that it can be used on a wide variety of securities at variety of timeframes.(even on lower timeframes such as seconds)
The main purpose of this indicator is to predict the trend of the underlying, by converging price, volume and dominant cycle as dimensions and generate signals of action.
Key terms :
Dominant cycle is a time cycle that has a greater influence on the overall behaviour of a system than other cycles.
The system uses Ehlers method to calculate Dominant Cycle/ Period.
Dominant cycle is used to determine the influencing period for the underlying.
Once the dominant cycle/ period is identified, it is treated as a dynamic length for considering further calculations
Elastic Volume MA is a volume based moving average which is generally used to converge the volume with price, the dominant period is used here as the length parameter
KNN K-Nearest Neighbour is one of the simplest Machine Learning algorithms based on Supervised Learning technique.
K-NN algorithm assumes the similarity between the new case/data and available cases and put the new case into the category that is most similar to the available categories.
K-NN algorithm stores all the available data and classifies a new data point based on the similarity. This means when new data appears then it can be easily classified into a well suite category by using K- NN algorithm. K-NN algorithm can be used for Regression as well as for Classification but mostly it is used for the Classification problems.
So, K-NN is used here to classify the trend of the Dominant Cycle Elastic Volume, and Generate Signals on top of it

Usage
By breaking 24hrs in quarters, starting with an Asian range of 18:00 NY time you can visualise the principles of Accumulation, Manipulation, Distribution and Rebalance. Know as AMD or PO3 (Power of Three), the principle is that the Manipulation phase will break above or below the Accumulation, before moving in an apposing direction and then rebalancing. This only works when there is a higher timeframe PD array or liquidity to support an apposing move.
Further to the daily quarters, each one can then be broken down again into 90min cycles. Again, each represents AMD, allowing the user an opportunity to watch for reversals during the 90min manipulation phase.
Note: Ensure the Asian Cycle always begins at 18:00 NY time.
The example shows that the 90min cycle occurs, followed by an apposing move away in price action
Here is the Daily cycle, highlighting the Manipulation phase.
Enjoy!
90M Time Cycle SMTOverview
This indicator identifies Smart Money Time (SMT) divergences between correlated assets, specifically optimized for the 90-minute intraday cycle. It automates the process of comparing price action between a primary asset (e.g., NQ) and a correlated asset (e.g., ES) to highlight moments where price symmetry breaks—often a precursor to a reversal or a liquidity run.
The 90-Minute Logic
Unlike standard indicators that use rolling timeframes, this script anchors its calculations to a fixed daily grid.
Session Start: The cycle calculation begins strictly at 02:30 New York time .
Session End: The cycles continue in 90-minute increments until the market close at 16:00 New York time .
The indicator analyzes price action within these specific 90-minute windows. If the primary asset makes a new high/low within the window, but the correlated asset fails to do so, an SMT divergence is flagged.
Key Features
Automated Asset Detection: The script automatically detects the asset you are trading and selects the most liquid correlated pair for comparison.
Smart Cleanup: To prevent chart clutter during volatile sessions, the script includes an intelligent cleanup system that limits overlapping lines, ensuring only the most relevant signals are shown.
Divergence Visualization: Automatically plots visual connectors (Green for Bullish, Red for Bearish) when a divergence is detected, removing the need to manually check two charts at once.
Settings Overview
Auto-Detect Correlated Asset: Enable this for automatic pairing (recommended).
SMT Direction: Choose to see Bullish, Bearish, or Both signals.
Cleanup SMT: Adjust the sensitivity of the line removal logic.
90M Cycle Visuals: Customize the color and width of the SMT lines.
Why is this script Protected?
This script is published as protected to safeguard the proprietary logic used to detect SMT divergences. The algorithm employs a unique method for comparing price action between correlated assets to identify valid divergences, and this specific calculation method is kept closed-source to preserve its originality.

ICT Cycle Boxes - MTFICT Cycle Boxes – Pro Strategy (3×MTF)
A multi-timeframe, confluence-driven strategy designed to capture impulsive moves, controlled pullbacks, and regime shifts. It evaluates three timeframes at once:
TF-A (Higher): establishes the broader regime.
TF-B (Mid): confirms trend context and momentum.
TF-C (Trade TF): times the entry.
Two entry tiers are used:
Very-Good Entries: all conditions align in the direction of the higher-timeframe regime, with fresh confirmation on the trade timeframe.
Medium Entries: directionally aligned but with lighter confirmation, for additional opportunities during established trends.
Risk is managed with ATR-based stops/targets on the trade timeframe, an optional trailing stop, position sizing by percent of equity, a cooldown after flat, and optional early exit when the trade timeframe returns to a neutral regime. Session filtering and flip-on-opposite are available for refined execution.
How to use
Set TF-A/TF-B/TF-C to suit your market (e.g., W/D/60, D/240/30).
Adjust risk parameters (stop/target, trailing, position size).
Enable session filtering if desired.
Review results in the Strategy Tester and fine-tune to your market and instrument.
Muzyorae - RTH Anchored Quarters CyclesRTH Anchored Quarters Cycles — Model Overview
The RTH Anchored Quarters Cycles model is designed to divide the Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session of U.S. equities (typically 09:30 – 16:00 New York time) into four structured “quarters” plus a closing marker. It provides a consistent framework for analyzing intraday market behavior by aligning time-based partitions with the actual trading day.
Key Features
Anchored to RTH
The model starts each cycle at 09:30 NY time (the official cash open).
It ignores overnight or extended-hours data, focusing strictly on the RTH session, where the majority of institutional order flow takes place.
After 18:00 NY time, the model still references the same trading date, preventing false signals from session rollovers.
Quarterly Time Blocks
The trading day is split into five reference points:
Q1: 09:30 – 10:00
Q2: 10:00 – 11:30
Q3: 11:30 – 13:30
Q4: 13:30 – 16:00
End: Closing marker at 16:00
Each boundary is drawn as a vertical line on the chart, clearly separating the quarters.
Customization
Users can adjust the start/end times of each quarter.
So if you would like to wish to use ICT timing Macro, intraday, daily and even weekly
The line style, color, and width are configurable (solid/dotted/dashed).
A label is placed at each quarter boundary (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, End) for quick visual reference.
Days Back Control
The model can display the cycles for multiple past trading days (user-defined).
Weekend days are automatically skipped, so “2 days back” means today and the previous trading day.
Why It’s Useful
Intraday Structure: Traders can quickly identify where the market is within the daily RTH cycle.
Consistency: Since the model is anchored to RTH, it avoids confusion caused by overnight Globex activity.
Clarity: Vertical markers and labels provide a clean framework for aligning trade setups, volume analysis, or order flow studies with specific time windows.
Flexibility: The customizable settings allow adaptation across instruments and strategies.

90min CYCLE (12-18) (Redcrabice)this script was created by REDCRABICEFX.
this script was originally created to help me and the people in my groups.
this script was created to help traders who use 90 min and 450min cycles. dividing 12 min session break with 18 min session. It also has a projection of the next 18 min session so you know when it will start.
this script also has a candle countdown closer to the candle for better sniping entries, it will start appearing when the candle has less than 15 seconds before close, and only works on a 1min TimeFrame.
you can add this to your favorite and uses it without my consense, however, the code is limited to me and people in my group to see to prevent monetization
you can change the color of the 18 min session and the projection
you can change the color of the time label, you can also dissable it.
story: I'm learning 90 min cycle and I needed an indicator that would show me the session without having to redraw every time and ended up with 50 vertical lines across my chart, there weren't any similar ideas that show me exactly how this is.
all codes were put together by me. all I used was the reference and never copied it. Let's hope it doesn't get moderated.

Kondratieff Wave & Benner Business CyclesKondratieff Wave Theory
Description: The Kondratieff Wave, also known as K-Waves or Long Waves, is an economic theory that posits long-term cycles of approximately 40-60 years in capitalist economies. These cycles consist of four phases: Spring (expansion and recovery), Summer (prosperity and peak), Autumn (stagnation and recession), and Winter (depression and restructuring). The theory suggests that technological innovations and major economic shifts drive these waves, influencing periods of growth and decline over decades.
Creator Bio: Nikolai Dmitriyevich Kondratieff (1892–1938) was a Russian economist born in the Kostroma Governorate. He studied at the University of St. Petersburg and became a prominent figure in Soviet economics. Kondratieff developed his long-wave theory in the 1920s while analyzing historical economic data, publishing works like The Major Economic Cycles (1925). His ideas clashed with Soviet ideology, leading to his arrest in 1930 during Stalin’s purges. He was executed in 1938, but his work gained recognition posthumously, influencing modern economic cycle analysis.
Benner Cycle Theory
Description: The Benner Cycle, proposed by Samuel Benner, is a predictive model for business and commodity price cycles, focusing on shorter-term economic fluctuations. Benner identified recurring patterns in market peaks (highs), panics (crashes), and buying opportunities (lows), with cycles averaging 8-10 years for highs, 7-8 years for panics, and 8-9 years for buys. His theory, based on historical observations of U.S. markets, aimed to guide farmers and investors by forecasting periods of prosperity and distress.
Creator Bio: Samuel T. Benner (1830s–unknown) was an American farmer and businessman from Ohio, not a formally trained economist. After losing his fortune in the Panic of 1873, Benner turned to studying economic patterns. In 1875, he self-published Benner’s Prophecies of Future Ups and Downs in Prices, a book that charted cycles in pig iron prices and other commodities. His work gained a cult following among traders and remains studied for its empirical approach, despite Benner’s lack of academic credentials and limited biographical records.

RoC Momentum CycleRoC Momentum Cycles (RMC) is derived from RoC (Rate of Change) indicator.
Motivation behind RMC: Addressing RoC’s Shortcomings
While the Rate of Change (RoC) indicator is a valuable tool for assessing momentum, it has notable limitations that traders must be aware of. One of the primary challenges with the traditional RoC is its sensitivity to price fluctuations, which can lead to false signals in volatile markets. This often results in premature entries or exits, impacting trading performance.
By smoothing out the RoC calculations and focusing on more consistent signal generation (using SMA on smoothed RoC), RMC offers a more consistent representation of price trends.
Momentum Cycles
RMC helps visualize momentum cycles in a much better way compared to RoC.
Long Momentum Cycle : A cross-over of smoothed RoC (blue line) above averaged signal (orange line) below zero marks start of a new potential upside cycle which ends when the blue line comes back to zero line from above.
Short Momentum Cycle : A cross-under of blue line below orange line above zero marks beginning of a potential downside cycle which ends when the blue line comes back to zero from below.
Market Cycle VisualizerPlots a customizable time-based grid on your chart to visualize market cycles. Draws vertical boundaries at interval starts, horizontal opening lines, and tracks high/low ranges within each period. Ideal for identifying recurring patterns and structure across custom timeframes.
PyraTime Intraday Cycles**Concept and Methodology**
PyraTime Intraday Cycles is a technical analysis tool designed to introduce the concept of **Temporal Cycle Projection**. While most indicators analyze price action (Y-axis), this tool focuses exclusively on the X-axis (Time).
By anchoring to a specific "Origin Pivot" (a user-defined High or Low), the script projects harmonic time intervals into the future. These vertical vectors serve as a grid, helping traders identify moments where time-based cycles may align with price structure.
**Technical Features**
This edition is optimized for **Multi-Timeframe Harmonic Flows**, utilizing a fixed algorithm for key intervals:
* **Anchor Point Logic:** The user manually selects a significant market pivot. The script calculates forward projections from this exact timestamp.
* **Standard Rhythms:** This version renders the **5-minute**, **15-minute**, **1-hour**, and **Daily** harmonic sequences. This allows for analysis across scalping, intraday, and swing trading structures.
* **Visual Confluence:** The indicator draws vertical lines to highlight potential zones of temporal exhaustion or acceleration.
**How to Use**
1. **Identify a Pivot:** Locate a significant High or Low on the chart.
2. **Set the Origin:** Open the settings and input the date/time of that pivot.
3. **Analyze Confluence:** Watch how price behaves when it approaches a vertical line. If price hits a key support/resistance level *at the same time* it hits a PyraTime vertical line, this is considered a high-probability "Time/Price" intersection.
**Version Comparison**
This script represents the foundational layer of the Great Pyramid system (PyraTime Apex).
* **PyraTime Intraday Cycles (This Script):** Focuses on Standard Timeframes (5m, 15m, 1h, Daily).
* **GPM Architecture (Advanced):** The full methodology extends these calculations to Esoteric Sequences (33, 144, 108), includes 3x Cycle Extensions, and features a Predictive Dashboard for complex multi-timeframe analysis.
**Disclaimer**
This tool is for educational and analytical purposes only. It identifies time cycles, not price direction. Past performance of a time cycle does not guarantee future results.
Volatility Cycle IndicatorThe Volatility Cycle Indicator is a non-directional trading tool designed to measure market volatility and cycles based on the relationship between standard deviation and Average True Range (ATR). In the Chart GBPAUD 1H time frame you can clearly see when volatility is low, market is ranging and when volatility is high market is expanding.
This innovative approach normalizes the standard deviation of closing prices by ATR, providing a dynamic perspective on volatility. By analyzing the interaction between Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels, it also detects "squeeze" conditions, highlighting periods of reduced volatility, often preceding explosive price movements.
The indicator further features visual aids, including colored zones, plotted volatility cycles, and highlighted horizontal levels to interpret market conditions effectively. Alerts for key events, such as volatility crossing significant thresholds or entering a squeeze, make it an ideal tool for proactive trading.
Key Features:
Volatility Measurement:
Tracks the Volatility Cycle, normalized using standard deviation and ATR.
Helps identify periods of high and low volatility in the market.
Volatility Zones:
Colored zones represent varying levels of market volatility:
Blue Zone: Low volatility (0.5–0.75).
Orange Zone: Transition phase (0.75–1.0).
Green Zone: Moderate volatility (1.0–1.5).
Fuchsia Zone: High volatility (1.5–2.0).
Red Zone: Extreme volatility (>2.0).
Squeeze Detection:
Identifies when Bollinger Bands contract within Keltner Channels, signaling a volatility squeeze.
Alerts are triggered for potential breakout opportunities.
Visual Enhancements:
Dynamic coloring of the Volatility Cycle for clarity on its momentum and direction.
Plots multiple horizontal levels for actionable insights into market conditions.
Alerts:
Sends alerts when the Volatility Cycle crosses significant levels (e.g., 0.75) or when a squeeze condition is detected.
Non-Directional Nature:
The indicator does not predict the market's direction but rather highlights periods of potential movement, making it suitable for both trend-following and mean-reversion strategies.
How to Trade with This Indicator:
Volatility Squeeze Breakout:
When the indicator identifies a squeeze (volatility compression), prepare for a breakout in either direction.
Use additional directional indicators or chart patterns to determine the likely breakout direction.
Crossing Volatility Levels:
Pay attention to when the Volatility Cycle crosses the 0.75 level:
Crossing above 0.75 indicates increasing volatility—ideal for trend-following strategies.
Crossing below 0.75 signals decreasing volatility—consider mean-reversion strategies.
Volatility Zones:
Enter positions as volatility transitions through key zones:
Low volatility (Blue Zone): Watch for breakout setups.
Extreme volatility (Red Zone): Be cautious of overextended moves or reversals.
Alerts for Proactive Trading:
Configure alerts for squeeze conditions and level crossings to stay updated without constant monitoring.
Best Practices:
Pair the Volatility Cycle Indicator with directional indicators such as moving averages, trendlines, or momentum oscillators to improve trade accuracy.
Use on multiple timeframes to align entries with broader market trends.
Combine with risk management techniques, such as ATR-based stop losses, to handle volatility spikes effectively.
