Lunar Cycle Oscillator [PyraTime]The Lunar Cycle Oscillator V1 is a predictive, timeframe-agnostic visualizer designed for traders who utilize Gann theory and astronomical cycles. It plots the Moon’s exact ~29.53-day synodic phase as a fluid, oscillating wave. Designed with a premium dark-mode aesthetic (Navy, Grey, Cyan, and Gold), it provides immediate visual context for market turning points aligned with lunar events.
Core Features
Neon Glow Wave: A multi-layered, silver-core sine wave that oscillates between -1.0 (New Moon) and 1.0 (Full Moon).
Precision Pulse Markers: Vertical event lines for Full Moons (Gold), New Moons (Cyan), and Quarter Moons (Dashed Grey).
Future Projections: Automatically forecasts the exact timing of the next three lunar phases into the future chart space at 70% transparency.
Dynamic Background Shading: Subtle pane shading that transitions between deep navy (Waning) and faint cyan (Waxing) to frame the oscillator.
Live Data Table: A real-time HUD displaying the current lunar illumination percentage and a day-countdown to the next major phase.
Integrated Alerts: Ready-to-use alert conditions for all four major lunar phase transitions.
Mathematical Methodology & Engineering
This indicator bypasses standard bar-counting limits. Instead of relying on relative bar references (which break on different timeframes), it calculates the exact astronomical phase using a known historical New Moon UNIX timestamp combined with the length of a synodic month in milliseconds.
Crucially, this script completely eliminates the Floating Indicator Issue. By anchoring every single line, label, and future projection strictly to xloc=xloc.bar_time, graphical objects will never detach, drift, or freeze in mid-air when panning or zooming. They are permanently locked to their exact moment in historical or future time.
Understanding "Jagged" Waves on Certain Assets
If you apply this indicator to a 5-day-a-week asset (like Gold, Forex, or traditional equities), the sine wave may occasionally look "chopped" or jagged at the peaks and troughs.
The Cause: The lunar cycle continues over the weekend, but the market does not. If a Full Moon peaks on a Saturday, the chart draws a rigid, straight line from Friday's close directly to Monday's open, cutting off the smooth weekend curve.
The Verification: To see the pure, mathematically perfect sine wave, apply the indicator to a 24/7 asset like Bitcoin (BTCUSD), where no weekend X-axis gaps exist.
Recommended Chart Setup (PulseWire)
To achieve the optimal visual aesthetic and minimize chart gaps, apply the following settings to your PulseWire chart:
Hide Background Grid Lines: The neon glow effect looks best on a clean, dark canvas. Right-click your chart background, select Settings, navigate to the Canvas tab, locate Grid lines, and drop the opacity slider down to 0% (or set them to match your exact background color).
Enable Extended Trading Hours (ETH): To smooth out the wave on traditional markets by filling in missing data gaps, turn on Extended Hours. Click the RTH / ETH button in the bottom right corner of your chart (next to the time zone) and select Extended Trading Hours, or go to Settings > Symbol and change the Session to Extended. Note: Pure weekend data availability depends entirely on your specific broker's feed.
