Original Time Cycles - W.D Gann
An advanced indicator inspired by W.D. Gann’s original time cycle principles, enhanced with a modern data-driven framework that provides actionable and measurable statistical insights.
Description
Inspired by the original writings of W.D. Gann, especially his book The Tunnel Thru the Air; Or, Looking Back from 1940—this indicator transforms the ancient principles of time cycles into a measurable, data-driven framework for modern traders.
Gann believed that time governs all market movement and that history repeats itself through precise mathematical sequences.
This indicator brings that vision to life: “When time is up, the trend changes.” — W.D. Gann
With advanced cycle theory, geometric sequences, and harmonic analysis, you can now forecast future reversal dates, define precise entries and exits, and trade with unprecedented clarity.
The indicator will enable you to confidently say, "I will buy or sell the market on a specific date in the future with a specific stop loss and target, and I will exit on a specific date.

Features
Cycle-Based Market Timing
Uses Gann’s original time-cycle principles to identify high-probability reversal dates with mathematical precision.
Full & Fractional Cycles
Plots both full cycles and fractional subdivisions (½, ⅓, ¼, ⅕, etc.) to reveal major and minor turning points within market movements.
Anchor Date Framework
Allows you to select a historical starting point—market tops, bottoms, wars, or astronomical events—to project future cycle repetitions.
Angle Position Trading
Trade using Gann’s harmonic degree logic—precise entries and exits triggered when the cycle reaches defined angular positions.
Wave Phase Detection
Fractional Cycle Mode identifies rising and falling vibration phases, creating automatic long/short signals based on wave direction changes.
Advanced Modular Arithmetic
Calculates cycles across decades and centuries using modular math, enabling accurate long-term cycle forecasting beyond visible chart data.
Built-In Trade Engine
Automatically generates entry, stop-loss, take-profit, and exit levels with visual markers and customizable risk parameters.
Performance Analytics
Displays detailed statistics for every completed cycle, including returns, min/max performance, cycle trends, and expected cycle end time.
Next Turning Date Forecast
Projects the next probable reversal window based on your cycle settings — allowing forward-dated planning similar to Gann’s forecasting method.
Commission & Realistic Backtesting
Includes entry/exit commission simulation for accurate, real-world performance evaluation.
Dynamic Candle Coloring
Candles adapt to cycle phases and trade states, giving clear visual confirmation of market condition changes.
Visual Cycle Mapping
Highlights full cycles, subdivisions, geometric phases, and anchor resets for easy interpretation of cycle structure.
Granular Customization
Every color, line width, label size, and visibility option is fully customizable, with tooltips explaining each parameter.
Alert System
Receive alerts for entries, exits, stop-loss hits, take-profit hits, and cycle-triggered signals across all modes.
Dual Operation Modes
Switch between Angle Positions or Fractional Cycle Mode to match your trading style—geometric precision or wave-based rhythm.
Historical Recurrence Logic
Implements Gann’s belief that “history repeats itself,” using cycle repetition to reveal future market movements.
Harmonic Cycle Subdivision
Divides cycles into harmonic degrees (e.g., 0°/90°/180°/270°/360°), enhancing accuracy for timing smaller-scale price reactions.
Clear, Mathematical Decision-Making
Removes emotional trading by providing time-based signals, forward projections, and structured cycle interpretation.
Complete Gann-Based Time Architecture
Integrates cycle theory, vibration law, geometry, and mathematical sequences—turning Gann’s writings into a functional, modern tool.

Receive notifications for entries, exits, stop-loss, and take-profit events.
Advanced Logic
Enable modular arithmetic for long-range cycles, cycle anchoring, and harmonic subdivision syncing.
How to Use
Pick a historically significant top/bottom, war, crisis, or astronomical event.
Set the number of days for one full cycle (e.g., 360, 1940, 2920).
See rising/falling phases (market vibration).
When the cycle matures → reversal probability increases.
Reveal minor turning points inside the larger cycle.
Similar conditions → similar outcomes.
Check win rate, cycle returns, and strategy stability.
Plan entries/exits with time-based precision.
Track what cycles/harmonics work best for your market.
Price is the effect. Time is the cause. Mastering time turns randomness into rhythm… and chaos into structure.
