SemiCircle Cycle Notation PivotsFor decades, traders have sought to decode the rhythm of the markets through cycle theory. From the groundbreaking work of HM Gartley in the 1930s to modern-day cycle trading tools on TradingView, the concept remains the same: markets move in repeating waves with larger cycles influencing smaller ones in a fractal-like structure, and understanding their timing gives traders an edge to better anticipate future price movements🔮.
Traditional cycle analysis has always been manual, requiring traders to painstakingly plot semicircles, diamonds, or sine waves to estimate pivot points and time reversals. Drawing tools like semicircle & sine wave projections exist on TradingView, but they lack automation—forcing traders to adjust cycle lengths by eye, often leading to inconsistencies.
This is where SemiCircle Cycle Notation Pivots indicator comes in. Semicircle cycle chart notation appears to have evolved as a practical visualization tool among cycle theorists rather than being pioneered by a single individual; some key influences include HM Gartley, WD Gann, JM Hurst, Walter Bressert, and RayTomes. Built upon LonesomeTheBlue's foundational ZigZag Waves indicator , this indicator takes cycle visualization to the next level by dynamically detecting price pivots and then automatically plotting semicircles based on real-time cycle length calculations & expected rhythm of price action over time.
Key Features:
Automated Cycle Detection: The indicator identifies pivot points based on your preference—highs, lows, or both—and plots semicircle waves that correspond to Hurst's cycle notation.
Customizable Cycle Lengths: Tailor the analysis to your trading strategy with adjustable cycle lengths, defaulting to 10, 20, and 40 bars, allowing for flexibility across various timeframes and assets.
Dynamic Wave Scaling: The semicircle waves adapt to different price structures, ensuring that the visualization remains proportional to the detected cycle lengths and aiding in the identification of potential reversal points.
Automated Cycle Detection: Dynamically identifies price pivot points and automatically adjusts offsets based on real-time cycle length calculations, ensuring precise semicircle wave alignment with market structure.
Color-Coded Cycle Tiers: Each cycle tier is distinctly color-coded, enabling quick differentiation and a clearer understanding of nested market cycles.
