The indicator is designed for traders and analysts interested in:

• Studying planetary and zodiac-based market cycles.

• Applying W.D. Gann-inspired time and astrology techniques.

• Backtesting astrology-based entry timing on financial markets.

• Analyzing fixed holding-period strategies driven by celestial motion.

• Exploring non-price-based market timing models.

The AST engine automates trade management by:

• Monitoring real-time planetary positions using astronomical calculations.

• Generating entry signals when a planet enters a chosen zodiac sign.

• Managing trades with fixed holding periods.

• Applying optional stop-loss and take-profit levels.

• Tracking trade statistics, win rate, and compounded returns.

• Displaying trade levels, signals, and performance metrics directly on the chart.

Trade entries occur when:

• A selected planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto) enters a specific zodiac sign (Aries → Pisces).

• Users can choose Tropical or Sidereal zodiac (with Ayanamsa adjustment).

This approach mirrors classic astro-financial timing concepts, where planetary sign changes often correlate with potential market shifts.

Once a trade is initiated, it is managed using:

• Fixed Holding Period: Trade stays open for a user-defined number of trading days.

• Stop Loss (optional): Percentage-based downside protection.

• Take Profit (optional): Percentage-based profit target.

• Automatic Exit: Trade closes when stop-loss, take-profit, or holding period is reached.

• Hold Extension: Trades can extend if a new planetary signal occurs at exit time.

The indicator offers fully automated trade simulation:

• Percentage-based risk management.

• Optional commission modeling for realistic results.

• Tracking per-trade returns and cumulative equity growth.

• Separation of winning and losing trades for clarity.

Backtesting parameters allow configuration of trade side (Long/Short), entry triggers (specific date or current date), and exit logic (specific date or bar count).

The performance table displays:

• Signal Type, Number of Trades, Win/Loss distribution.

• Maximum, minimum, and average trade returns.

• Win Rate and Compound Return (before/after commission).

• Remaining bars until trade closure.

The table can be positioned anywhere on the chart, and its appearance is fully customizable.

Alerts can be created for:

• Entry

• Exit

• Stop-Loss

• Take-Profit

Each alert type can be enabled or disabled individually.

This tool is intended for educational and research purposes only. Astrology-based and cycle-based models explore correlations between planetary motion and market behavior, but they do not account for fundamentals, macroeconomic events, or news. Past performance and backtests do not guarantee future results. Proper risk management is essential.
