ICT Logo 2-1-2 Nested Cycles - ExtendedICT Logo 2–1–2 Fractal AMD Cycles
This indicator is an experimental time-cycle framework inspired by ICT’s logo sequence and the fractal nature of price delivery.
The core idea is that every selected time range can be divided into three proportional phases using the sequence:
2 – 1 – 2
Because the total equals five units, each parent cycle is divided at:
0.40
0.60
1.00
This creates three consecutive time phases (Power of 3):
First phase: 40% of the cycle
Middle phase: 20% of the cycle
Final phase: 40% of the cycle
These phases can be interpreted through the familiar AMD framework:
Accumulation
Manipulation
Distribution
The indicator does not assume that every first phase must accumulate, every middle phase must manipulate, or every final phase must distribute. Instead, it provides a consistent temporal structure in which those behaviors can be studied.
Fractal AMD micro-cycles
The main feature of the indicator is recursive subdivision.
Each of the three primary AMD phases is divided again using the same 2–1–2 ratio. This creates smaller AMD cycles inside the larger one.
At each additional depth, the number of cycles increases:
Depth 1: 3 primary cycles
Depth 2: 9 micro-cycles
Depth 3: 27 smaller cycles
Depth 4: 81 micro-cycles
This makes it possible to observe how short-term price delivery develops inside a larger daily, weekly, monthly, four-hour, hourly, or intraday cycle.
For example, a daily parent cycle contains three major phases. Each major phase can then contain its own accumulation, manipulation, and distribution sequence. Those smaller cycles may themselves contain further micro-cycles.
The result is a nested temporal structure:
Parent AMD cycle
├── First major phase
│ ├── Micro accumulation
│ ├── Micro manipulation
│ └── Micro distribution
├── Middle major phase
│ ├── Micro accumulation
│ ├── Micro manipulation
│ └── Micro distribution
└── Final major phase
├── Micro accumulation
├── Micro manipulation
└── Micro distribution
Range boxes
Every cycle can be surrounded by a box that records the high and low produced during that specific time window.
The larger boxes show the range of the parent or major AMD phase, while the smaller nested boxes show the range created inside each micro-cycle.
The boxes update as new candles print and remain anchored to the chart’s time and price coordinates.
This helps visualize:
Range expansion and contraction
Liquidity forming above or below previous cycle ranges
Manipulation outside an earlier micro-cycle
Distribution away from a completed range
Nested premium and discount relationships
Whether a smaller cycle is expanding with or against the larger cycle
The box colors represent the repeating three-part sequence, not guaranteed bullish or bearish direction.
Supported parent cycles
The indicator can apply the same 2–1–2 structure across multiple time ranges:
Monthly
Weekly
Daily
4 Hour
1 Hour
15 Minute
Custom duration
The default daily range is: 00:00–16:15 New York time
The default weekly range is: Sunday futures open–Friday 16:15 New York time
Weekly, daily, and repeating-cycle anchors are adjustable, allowing the model to be tested on different market sessions and instruments.
Timing guides
Vertical timing lines show the boundaries of each cycle and micro-cycle.
Different colors and line styles distinguish the fractal depth. Major boundaries represent the larger cycle divisions, while thinner or dotted lines represent smaller nested timing intervals.
These lines are intended as areas of interest rather than automatic reversal signals (Or are they? 💡).
A timing boundary becomes more meaningful when it aligns with additional context such as:
External or internal liquidity
Previous highs or lows
Fair value gaps
Order blocks
NDOGs/NWOGs
SMT divergence
CISD
Displacement
Premium or discount positioning
Midnight Open
The indicator also plots the New York Midnight Open using the actual 00:00 candle opening price.
This level can be used as a daily reference for:
Intraday premium and discount
Bullish or bearish delivery relative to midnight
Liquidity runs around the opening price
Alignment between the parent AMD cycle and its micro-cycles
Suggested interpretation
The indicator is best used from the outside inward.
First, identify the current parent cycle and determine which of its three major phases is active. Then examine the smaller cycle currently developing inside that phase.
For example:
The daily cycle may be in its final 2-phase,
while the active hourly micro-cycle is still in manipulation.
This allows the trader to distinguish between the larger delivery structure and the immediate short-term behavior.
A lower-timeframe reversal may only represent a micro-cycle transition, while a reversal at the boundary of both a micro-cycle and a major parent phase may carry greater significance.
Important note
This indicator is a research and visualization tool. It does not claim that time alone predicts price, nor does it generate automatic trade signals.
The 2–1–2 sequence is used as a consistent fractal framework for studying AMD-style delivery across multiple time horizons. The model should be combined with price action, liquidity, market structure, and independent testing.
Past reactions around cycle boundaries do not guarantee future reversals or continuation.

Fibonacci Confluence Grids (Levels + Time Zones) [Metrify]This script is built around a simple but often-misused idea: Fibonacci levels are only useful when the reference swing is meaningful. In practice, most traders do not fail because they “used the wrong ratio,” but because they anchored the Fib to a weak or inconsistent swing. A 0.618 level drawn from noise is still noise.
The core design of this indicator is therefore not “draw more levels” but to formalize three simple steps that we usually do inconsistently by eye:
identify an A→B swing,
filter that swing for significance, and
project both price levels and timing windows from that swing.
Once a valid swing is accepted, the script projects a configurable set of price Fibonacci levels (retracements and/or extensions) and a separate configurable sequence of time gates (bar offsets projected forward from point B). The price levels define a vertical map of potential reaction zones. The time gates define a horizontal map of potential timing windows. Used together, they create a 2D framework: not only where price may become sensitive, but also when the probability of a market event tends to increase.
Time gates: temporal structure and why “events cluster” around them
The time gate projects vertical markers forward from point B using a bar sequence (commonly Fibonacci-like). The key idea is not random, but practical timing structure.
Markets often exhibit rhythm: impulsive legs, pullbacks, consolidations, and expansions frequently have characteristic durations.
Time gates should be interpreted as attention windows: periods where you should expect the probability of a notable market event to be higher than usual. “Event” here is intentionally broad, because direction is not guaranteed:
acceleration / continuation burst
pullback completion and resumption attempt
volatility expansion after compression
reversal attempt (successful or failed)
fakeout / stop run / liquidity sweep
structural break and regime shift
This is why it’s accurate to say that significant events often occur around time gates. Not because the gate forces a reversal, but because it’s a timing checkpoint where participation and auction dynamics frequently change. Your edge comes from combining the gate with context: price location near a major Fib level, session behavior, and confirmation from price action/structure.
How to use it as a manual framework
A strong discretionary workflow is to treat this as a 2D confluence map: price zone × time window.
Start by asking: “Is the active A→B swing meaningful?” If it looks like chop, tighten filters (increase Min Size / Min Bars, or increase ZigZag reversal / pivot length). Once the swing quality is good, treat the map as a set of planned observation points.
When price approaches a major retracement (0.5/0.618/0.786) or extension (1.272/1.618), check whether a time gate is also nearby. If yes, you should expect higher information density so you watch for confirmation rather than forcing prediction.
Confirmation can be whatever your style uses: structure break, reclaim, rejection candle quality, volatility expansion, etc.
If price is mid-range (far from major fibs) and far from gates, that’s often low-quality territory for forcing trades —> your standards should be higher, not lower. Indicator

Ichimoku PourSamadi Signal [TradingFinder] KijunSen Magic Number🔵 Introduction
The Ichimoku Kinko Hyo system is one of the most comprehensive market analysis tools ever created. Developed by Goichi Hosoda, a Japanese journalist in the 1930s, its purpose was to allow traders to recognize the balance between price, time, and momentum at a single glance. (In Japanese, Ichimoku literally means “one look.”)
At the core of the system lie five key components: Tenkan-sen (Conversion Line), Kijun-sen (Baseline), Chikou Span (Lagging Line), and the two leading spans, Senkou Span A and Senkou Span B, which together form the well-known Kumo or cloud representing both temporal structure and equilibrium zones in the market.
Although Ichimoku is commonly used to identify trends and support/resistance levels, a deeper layer of time philosophy exists within it. Ichimoku was not designed solely for price analysis but equally for time analysis.
In the classical model, the numerical cycles 9, 26, 52 reflect the natural rhythm of the market originally based on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s trading schedule in the 1930s.
These values repeat across the system’s calculations, forming the foundation of Ichimoku’s time symmetry where price and time ultimately seek equilibrium.
In recent years, modern analysts have explored new approaches to extract time-based turning points from Ichimoku’s structure. One such approach is the analysis of flat segments on the Kijun-sen and Senkou B lines.
Whenever one of these lines remains flat for a period, it signals temporary balance between buyers and sellers; when the flat breaks, the market exits equilibrium and a new cycle begins.
This indicator is built precisely upon that philosophy. Following the timing methodology introduced by M.A. Poursamadi, the focus shifts away from price signals and line crossovers toward identifying flat periods on Kijun-sen (period 52) as time anchors.
From the first candle that changes the line’s slope, the tool begins a temporal count using a fixed sequence of key numbers: 5, 9, 13, 17, 26, 35, 43, 52, 63, 72, 81, 90.
Derived from both classical Ichimoku cycles and empirical testing, these numbers mark potential timing nodes where a market wave may end, a correction may begin, or a new leg may form.
Thus, this method serves not merely as another Ichimoku tool but as a temporal metronome for market structure a way to visualize moments when the market is ready to change rhythm, often before candles reveal it.
🔵 How to Use
The Kijun Timing BoX is built entirely on Ichimoku’s concept of time analysis.
Its core idea is that within every flat segment of the Kijun-sen, the market enters a temporary balance between opposing forces.
When that flat breaks, a new time cycle begins. From that first breakout candle, the indicator starts counting forward through the predefined time sequence(5, 9, 13, 17, 26, 35, 43, 52, 63, 72, 81, 90).
This counting framework creates a temporal map of market behavior, where each number represents an area where meaningful price fluctuations often occur.
A “meaningful fluctuation” does not necessarily imply reversal or continuation; rather, it marks a moment when the market’s internal energy balance shifts, typically visible as noticeable reactions on lower timeframes.
🟣 Identifying the Anchor Point
The first step is recognizing a valid flat zone on the Kijun-sen.
When this line remains flat for several candles and then changes slope, the indicator marks that bar as the Anchor, initiating the time count.
From that point onward, vertical gray lines appear at each interval in the key-number sequence, visualizing the time nodes ahead.
🟣 Reading the Timing Lines
Each numbered line represents a timing node a temporal point where a change in price rhythm is statistically more likely to occur.
At these nodes, the market may :
Enter a consolidation or minor correction phase.
Develop range-bound movement.
Or simply alter the speed and intensity of its move.
These behaviors do not imply a specific direction; they only highlight zones where time-based activity tends to cluster, giving traders a clearer view of cyclical rhythm.
🟣 Applying Time Analysis
The indicator’s primary use is to observe temporal order, not to predict price direction.
By tracking the distance between Anchors and the reactions that appear near major timing lines, traders can empirically identify each market’s characteristic rhythm—its own time DNA.
For example, one asset may consistently show significant fluctuations around the 13- and 26-bar marks,while another might react closer to 9 or 52. Recognizing such patterns helps traders understand how long typical cycles last before new phases of volatility emerge.
🟣 Combining with Other Tools
The indicator does not generate buy/sell signals on its own.
Its best use is in combination with price- or structure-based methods, to see whether meaningful price reactions occur around the same timing nodes.
In practice, it helps distinguish structured time-based fluctuations from random, noise-driven moves an insight often overlooked in conventional market analysis.
🔵 Settings
🟣 Logical Settings
KijunSen Period : Defines the baseline period used for timing analysis. Default = 52. It is the main line for detecting flats and generating time anchors.
Flat Event Filter : Controls how flat segments are validated before triggering a new timing event.
All : Every flat triggers a new Timing Box.
Automatic : Only flats longer than the historical average are used (recommended).
Custom : User manually defines the minimum flat length via Custom Count.
Update Timing Analysis BoX Per Event : If enabled, a new Timing Box is drawn each time a new flat event occurs. If disabled, the box completes its 90-bar window before refreshing.
🟣 Ichimoku Settings
TenkanSen Period : Defines the period for the Conversion Line (Tenkan-sen). Default = 9.
KijunSen Period : Sets the standard Ichimoku baseline (not the timing line). Default = 26.
Span B Period : Defines the period for Senkou Span B, the slower cloud boundary. Default = 52.
Shift Lines : Offsets cloud projection into the future. Default = 26.
🟣 Display Settings
Users can show or hide all Ichimoku lines Tenkan-sen, Kijun-sen, Chikou Span, Span A, and Span B as well as the Ichimoku Cloud.
They can also customize the color of each element to match personal chart preferences and improve visibility.
🔵 Conclusion
This analytical approach transforms Ichimoku’s time philosophy into a visual and measurable framework. A flat Kijun-sen represents a moment of market equilibrium; when its slope shifts, a new temporal cycle begins.
The purpose is not to forecast price direction but to highlight periods when meaningful fluctuations are more likely to develop.
Through this perspective, traders can observe the hidden rhythm of market time and expand their analysis beyond price into a broader time-cycle dimension.
Ultimately, the method revives Ichimoku’s original principle: the market can only be truly understood through the simultaneous harmony of price, time, and balance. Indicator

WD Gann: Close Price X Bars Ago with Line or Candle PlotThis indicator is inspired by the principles of WD Gann, a legendary trader known for his groundbreaking methods in time and price analysis. It helps traders track the close price of a security from X bars ago, a technique that is often used to identify key price levels in relation to past price movements. This concept is essential for Gann’s market theories, which emphasize the relationship between time and price.
WD Gann’s analysis often revolved around specific numbers that he considered significant, many of which correspond to squared numbers (e.g., 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, 196, 225, 256, 289, 324, 361, 400, 441, 484, 529, 576, 625, 676, 729, 784, 841, 900, 961, 1024, 1089, 1156, 1225, 1296, 1369, 1444, 1521, 1600, 1681, 1764, 1849, 1936). These numbers are believed to represent natural rhythms and cycles in the market. This indicator can help you explore how past price levels align with these significant numbers, potentially revealing key price zones that could act as support, resistance, or reversal points.
Key Features:
- Historical Close Price Calculation: The indicator calculates and displays the close price of a security from X bars ago (where X is customizable). This method aligns with Gann's focus on price relationships over specific time intervals, providing traders with valuable reference points to assess market conditions.
- Customizable Plot Type: You can choose between two plot types for visualizing the historical close price:
- Line Plot: A simple line that represents the close price from X bars ago, ideal for those who prefer a clean and continuous representation.
- Candle Plot: Displays the close price as a candlestick chart, providing a more detailed view with open, high, low, and close prices from X bars ago.
- Candle Color Coding: For the candle plot type, the script color-codes the candles. Green candles appear when the close price from X bars ago is higher than the open price, indicating bullish sentiment; red candles appear when the close is lower, indicating bearish sentiment. This color coding gives a quick visual cue to market sentiment.
- Customizable Number of Bars: You can adjust the number of bars (X) to look back, providing flexibility for analyzing different timeframes. Whether you're conducting short-term or long-term analysis, this input can be fine-tuned to suit your trading strategy.
- Gann Method Application: WD Gann's methods involved analyzing price action over specific time periods to predict future movements. This indicator offers traders a way to assess how the price of a security has behaved in the past in relation to a chosen time interval, a critical concept in Gann's theories.
How to Use:
1. Input Settings:
- Number of Bars (X): Choose the number of bars to look back (e.g., 100, 200, or any custom period).
- Plot Type: Select whether to display the data as a Line or Candles.
2. Interpretation:
- Using the Line plot, observe how the close price from X bars ago compares to the current market price.
- Using the Candles plot, analyze the full price action of the chosen bar from X bars ago, noting how the close price relates to the open, high, and low of that bar.
3. Gann Analysis: Integrate this indicator into your broader Gann-based analysis. By looking at past price levels and their relationship to significant squared numbers, traders can uncover potential key levels of support and resistance or even potential reversal points. The historical close price can act as a benchmark for predicting future market movements.
Suggestions on WD Gann's Emphasis in Trading:
WD Gann’s trading methods were rooted in several key principles that emphasized the relationship between time and price. These principles are vital to understanding how the "Close Price X Bars Ago" indicator fits into his overall analysis:
1. Time Cycles: Gann believed that markets move in cyclical patterns. By studying price levels from specific time intervals, traders can spot these cycles and predict future market behavior. This indicator allows you to see how the close price from X bars ago relates to current market conditions, helping to spot cyclical highs and lows.
2. Price and Time Squaring: A core concept in Gann’s theory is that certain price levels and time periods align, often marking significant reversal points. The squared numbers (e.g., 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, etc.) serve as potential key levels where price and time might "square" to create support or resistance. This indicator helps traders spot these historical price levels and their potential relevance to future price action.
3. Geometric Angles: Gann used angles (like the 45-degree angle) to predict market movements, with the belief that prices move at specific geometric angles over time. This indicator gives traders a reference for past price levels, which could align with key angles, helping traders predict future price movement based on Gann's geometry.
4. Numerology and Key Intervals: Gann paid particular attention to numbers that held significance, including squared numbers and numbers related to the Fibonacci sequence. This indicator allows traders to analyze price levels based on these key numbers, which can help in identifying potential turning points in the market.
5. Support and Resistance Levels: Gann’s methods often involved identifying levels of support and resistance based on past price action. By tracking the close price from X bars ago, traders can identify past support and resistance levels that may become significant again in future market conditions.
Perfect for:
Traders using WD Gann’s methods, such as Gann angles, time cycles, and price theory.
Analysts who focus on historical price levels to predict future price action.
Those who rely on numerology and geometric principles in their trading strategies.
By integrating this indicator into your trading strategy, you gain a powerful tool for analyzing market cycles and price movements in relation to key time intervals. The ability to track and compare the historical close price to significant numbers—like Gann’s squared numbers—can provide valuable insights into potential support, resistance, and reversal points.

Cycles: 4x dual inputs: Swing / Time Cycles projected forward//Purpose/Premise:
To project forward vertical 'cycle' lines based on user-input anchor points, and to search for confluence.
The idea being that if several well-anchored cycles agree (i.e. we see multiple bunched vertical line confluence in the future), then this may add support to an already existing trade idea, or may indicate an increased likelihood of a shift in direction.
//Usage & notes:
~In the above chart I've anchored to obvious swing lows and swing highs in Btc/Usd from 2020-2022. You could also use fixed time-based cycles from a favored start anchor point. Bars per cycle are printed at the top of each cycle box if your're interested in time cycles. I.e. for 1, 2, 3 month cycles: for BTC you could use 30, 60, 90 bars on daily; for S&P you could use 20, 40, 60 bars on daily.
~On first loading the indicator you will be asked select 'start date', and 'end date' for each of 4 sessions (8x clicks on chart). After this you can easily reset points by clicking the indicator display line three dots>> reset points. Or you can simply drag the vertical box edges (purple lines) to change your cycle anchor points.
~Be sure the start anchor point is before the end anchor point or box/lines won't appear.
~When you drop down to low timeframes you might get bar_index error due to history available: you need then to click the three dots on indicator display line >> reset points >> 8x clicks on the chart.
~Vertical projected lines will match the color of the cycle box they origninate from.
~Lines will project into the future as far as is allowed by pulsewire (500 bars max)
//Inputs:
~Time start and end dates for each cycle (change these as described above, or input manually)
~Show/hide each cycle (default is show all 4)
~Formatting options: color of forward projected lines, line width, line style, line / box / text color.
~Box transparancy: Set to 100 to make boxes invisible & declutter the chart. Set to 0 for maximum opacity. Default is 80.

Market Time Cycle (Expo)█ Time Cycles Overview
Time cycles are a fascinating and powerful concept in the world of trading and investing. They are all about understanding and predicting the timing of market moves based on the premise that market events and price movements are not random, but instead occur in repeatable, cyclical patterns.
The Concept of Time Cycles: The foundation of time cycles lies in the belief that historical market patterns tend to repeat themselves over specific periods. These periods or cycles could be influenced by a myriad of factors like economic data releases, earnings reports, geopolitical events, or even natural human behavior. For example, some traders observe increased market activity around the start and end of a trading day, which is a form of intraday time cycle.
Understanding time cycles can provide traders with a roadmap, helping them anticipate potential trend shifts and make more informed decisions about when to buy or sell.
█ Indicator Overview
The Market Time Cycle (Expo) is designed to help traders track and analyze market cycles and generate signals for potential trading opportunities. It uses mathematical techniques to analyze market cycles and detect possible turning points. It does this by projecting the estimated cycle timeline and providing visual indications of cyclical phases through the use of color-coded lines and sine wave cycles.
Time cycles offer a compelling way to forecast market trends and time your trades better. By adding time cycles to your trading toolbox, you could potentially gain a new perspective on market movements and refine your trading strategy further. The indicator generates trading signals based on the sine wave's behavior. When the sine wave crosses certain thresholds, the indicator generates a signal suggesting a potential trading opportunity based on cycle behavior.
█ How to use
This indicator can be a valuable tool to help traders understand and predict market trends and time their trades more accurately. By visualizing the cyclic nature of markets, traders can better anticipate potential turning points and adjust their trading strategies accordingly.
