Quarterly Theory Cycles [Oracle]WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES Quarterly Theory Cycles is a multi-layer time cycle visualisation tool that plots up to 8 nested Quarterly Theory cycles simultaneously — from Nano sessions all the way up to the Quadrennial cycle. Each cycle is divided into its four quarters (Q1 through Q4) and displayed as color-coded boxes, either in a dedicated sub-pane below the chart or directly overlaid on price as clean on-chart boxes that auto-scale to your visible price action. It is a purely graphical time tool. It shows you exactly where you are within every layer of the Quarterly Theory time structure at a glance, without cluttering your chart with unnecessary drawings or data. THE CONCEPTS — WHAT EACH ONE IS AND HOW IT IS CALCULATED Quarterly Theory Time Cycles Quarterly Theory, as taught by TraderDaye, divides trading time into nested cycles where each cycle is split into four quarters. These quarters represent a repeating sequence: Q1 — Accumulation. The cycle's range is being established. This phase is required for a cycle to occur. Q2 — Manipulation. The cycle transitions from accumulation into distribution. The opening price of Q2 is the True Open — a key reference level for premium/discount analysis. Q3 — Distribution. This is where the main move of the cycle typically occurs. Q4 — Reversal or Continuation. The cycle either reverses or continues into the next cycle. This A-M-D-X sequence repeats at every scale of time. The indicator computes cycle boundaries for 8 nested levels, each one being a subdivision of the level above it. The 8 Cycle Layers Quadrennial Cycle The longest cycle, spanning four years. The indicator assigns quadrennial quarters based on the year modulo 4. Each quarter represents one calendar year within a four-year macro cycle. Yearly Cycle The year is divided into four quarters of three months each, analogous to financial quarters: Q1 — January, February, March Q2 — April, May, June (True Open at April open) Q3 — July, August, September Q4 — October, November, December The indicator detects yearly quarter transitions by checking when the month crosses into a new calendar quarter. Monthly Cycle Each month is divided into four weekly quarters. The cycle starts on the first trading week of the month (detected by the Sunday session open), and each subsequent week represents the next quarter. Months with a 5th week produce a Q0 (joker week). The indicator detects monthly quarter transitions by checking when a new trading week begins at the Sunday session open and tracking how many weeks have elapsed since the month started. Weekly Cycle The trading week is divided into four daily quarters. Following Quarterly Theory, Friday and Sunday's small session are excluded from the main cycle: Q1 — Monday Q2 — Tuesday (True Open at Tuesday's daily open) Q3 — Wednesday Q4 — Thursday Q0 — Friday The indicator assigns weekly quarters based on the day of the week relative to the Sunday 18:00 ET session open. Daily Cycle The trading day is divided into four 6-hour sessions: Q1 — 18:00 to 00:00 (Asian session) Q2 — 00:00 to 06:00 (London session, True Open at midnight NY time) Q3 — 06:00 to 12:00 (New York AM session) Q4 — 12:00 to 18:00 (New York PM session) The indicator calculates daily quarter boundaries using the hour of day relative to the exchange-specific day-start anchor. 90-Minute Cycle Each daily session quarter (6 hours) contains four 90-minute cycles. The indicator computes these by dividing elapsed time from the day-start anchor into 90-minute intervals and determining which quarter of the interval the current bar falls in. Micro Cycle Each 90-minute cycle divides into four quarters of 22.5 minutes each — known as Micro Sessions. The indicator uses millisecond-precision interval arithmetic to compute these boundaries, accounting for the half-minute offset (22 minutes 30 seconds per quarter). Nano Cycle The finest resolution — each Micro Session divides into four Nano quarters of approximately 5 minutes 37.5 seconds each. The indicator computes these using sub-minute timestamp arithmetic and is only relevant on sub-minute chart timeframes (15s, 30s, 45s). Exchange-Specific Day Start All cycle calculations anchor to the correct trading day start time based on your broker's exchange: CME / CBOT futures — 17:00 ET FX brokers (FXCM, OANDA, FOREXCOM) — 18:00 ET Crypto exchanges (Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, etc.) — 22:00 UTC This ensures cycle boundaries align correctly regardless of which broker or asset class you are charting. HOW THE DISPLAY WORKS Sub-Pane Mode (Default) The indicator renders in a separate pane below your chart. Each cycle layer occupies its own horizontal lane, stacked vertically — Nano at the top, Quadrennial at the bottom. Each quarter within a cycle is drawn as a coloured box that extends from the quarter's start bar to its end bar. Box colours correspond to quarters: Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, and Q0 each have a configurable colour. Each box is labeled with the quarter name. For certain cycles, contextual labels are used instead of generic quarter numbers — for example, the daily cycle shows "Asia," "London," "NY am," and "NY pm," while the weekly cycle shows "Monday" through "Friday." This gives you a complete, at-a-glance view of where you are within every layer of the time structure simultaneously. On-Chart Mode The indicator can also display cycles directly overlaid on your price chart as colored boxes that float above the candles. In this mode, only the chart timeframe's corresponding cycle is shown (e.g., on a 5m chart, the 90-minute cycle is displayed on-chart). The on-chart boxes automatically scale their vertical position based on your visible price action — they track the highest high and use the average bar range to position themselves cleanly above price without overlapping candles. Quarter divider lines extend vertically through the full price range. An option to show the previous completed cycle during Q1 keeps the prior cycle's boxes visible at the same height, so you can reference the previous cycle's quarter structure while the new cycle is just beginning. On-chart mode can be used alongside the sub-pane, or exclusively by enabling "Only" mode which hides the sub-pane entirely. Automatic Layer Selection By default, the indicator automatically determines which cycle layers to display based on your chart timeframe. You configure how many layers you want visible (1 to 8), and the indicator selects the appropriate layers ascending from your chart's native cycle level. For example, on a 5m chart with 3 layers, you see the 90-minute, daily, and weekly cycles. On a 15m chart with 3 layers, you see the daily, weekly, and monthly cycles. This keeps the display relevant without manual configuration. Alternatively, manual mode lets you toggle each of the 8 cycle layers independently regardless of your chart timeframe. HOW THE CONCEPTS WORK TOGETHER The nested cycle structure is not 8 independent timers running in parallel — they are a single fractal hierarchy where each level is a subdivision of the one above it: The quadrennial cycle provides the macro context. Where you are in the 4-year cycle influences yearly bias — Q1 years tend to accumulate, Q3 years tend to distribute. The yearly cycle narrows to the current quarter. Within the macro context, you know whether the year is in accumulation (Jan-Mar), manipulation (Apr-Jun), distribution (Jul-Sep), or reversal (Oct-Dec). The monthly cycle positions you within the month. Week 1 is accumulation, week 2 begins distribution from the True Monthly Open. The weekly cycle positions you within the week. Monday accumulates, Tuesday begins manipulation from the True Weekly Open, Wednesday distributes, Thursday reverses. The daily cycle positions you within the session. Asia accumulates, London manipulates from the True Daily Open (midnight), NY AM distributes, NY PM reverses. 90-minute, micro, and nano cycles provide execution timing. Within the broader directional context set by the higher cycles, these lower cycles tell you exactly when within a session the accumulation, manipulation, distribution, and reversal phases occur at the finest resolution. Seeing all of these layers simultaneously lets you identify when multiple cycles are in the same phase — for example, when the weekly Q3 (distribution), daily Q3 (NY AM distribution), and 90-minute Q3 (distribution within the session) all align, you know you are in a high-probability distribution window across the entire time fractal. WHY USE THIS INDICATOR Several Quarterly Theory cycle indicators exist on TradingView. Here is what makes this one different: On-chart cycle display. Most QT cycle tools only render in a separate sub-pane. This indicator can overlay cycles directly on your price chart as auto-scaling boxes that float cleanly above candles, giving you the cleanest possible view of where you are in the cycle without splitting your attention between panes. The previous-cycle carry-over during Q1 is a unique touch that no other cycle indicator offers. 8 nested layers computed simultaneously. From Nano (5.6 minutes) to Quadrennial (4 years), every layer is calculated and available. Most cycle tools cover 4 to 6 levels at most. Contextual quarter labels. Instead of generic Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 everywhere, the indicator displays session names (Asia, London, NY AM, NY PM), day names (Monday through Friday), and week numbers where appropriate, making it immediately readable. Automatic layer selection. Choose how many layers you want and the indicator picks the right ones for your timeframe. No manual configuration needed unless you want it. Full exchange support. Day-start anchors automatically adjust for futures, FX, and crypto exchanges, ensuring cycle boundaries are correct regardless of your broker. If you are a Quarterly Theory trader, this is the simplest and cleanest way to always know exactly where you are in every layer of the time structure. HOW TO USE IT Add the indicator to your chart. It immediately displays the appropriate cycle layers for your timeframe in the sub-pane. Each coloured box represents one quarter of a cycle. Use the default colors or customize Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4/Q0 colours to your preference. Read the labels inside each box to know which quarter and session you are in. Enable on-chart mode to overlay cycles directly on your price chart for a cleaner workflow. Adjust the number of layers (1 to 8) to control how much time structure you see — fewer layers for simplicity, more for complete fractal context. Use manual mode if you want to toggle specific cycle levels independently. Combine with other Quarterly Theory tools — use the cycle display to know when you are in a Q2 manipulation or Q3 distribution phase, then look for SSMTs, PSPs, or tCISDs within that context. SETTINGS OVERVIEW Cycles — Manual/auto mode toggle, number of layers to show (1-8), individual cycle toggles for manual mode On-Chart — On-chart overlay toggle, exclusive on-chart mode, previous cycle visibility during Q1 Colours — Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4/Q0 box colours, text colour, divider line colour/width/style SUPPORTED TIMEFRAMES 15s / 30s / 45s — Nano + Micro cycles and above 1m / 3m — Micro cycles and above 5m — 90-minute cycles and above 15m — Daily cycles and above 1H / 90m — Weekly cycles and above 4H / 6H — Monthly cycles and above 1D — Yearly cycles and above 1W — Quadrennial cycle 1M — Quadrennial cycle INDICATOR SETTINGS/FILTERS Here is an inside look of how the Quarterly Theory Cycles looks: DISCLAIMER This indicator is for educational and informational purposes only.

SMT-Fill [Oracle]WHAT THIS INDICATOR DOES SMT-Fill is a correlation-based fair value gap analysis tool that detects when correlated assets disagree on how they interact with their own imbalances. It identifies FVGs that form simultaneously across multiple correlated assets, then tracks whether each asset trades back into its respective gap — and flags when one asset fills its gap while the other does not. A standard FVG tells you there is an imbalance. An SMT-Fill tells you there is an imbalance where correlated assets are disagreeing on whether it gets respected — a crack in correlation at the imbalance level, which increases the probability of a reaction. This is an analysis and narrative tool. It does not generate buy or sell signals. THE CONCEPTS — WHAT EACH ONE IS AND HOW IT IS CALCULATED Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) A fair value gap is a 3-bar price imbalance where the candle bodies moved so aggressively that a gap was left behind. The indicator detects these using standard FVG logic: Bullish FVG — Bar 1's low is above bar 3's high. The gap between these two levels represents an area where price moved up without being fully traded, leaving an imbalance that price may return to fill. Bearish FVG — Bar 3's low is above bar 1's high. The gap represents a downward imbalance. The indicator does not just detect FVGs on your chart — it simultaneously checks whether the same FVG pattern exists on each of the other assets in your triad at the exact same time, using request.security calls. For each asset where a concurrent FVG exists, it stores that asset's own gap boundaries (high, low, and midpoint) independently. This means the indicator is tracking up to four versions of the same gap: your chart asset's FVG boundaries and each correlated asset's FVG boundaries, all formed on the same 3-bar window but at each asset's own price levels. SMT-Fill Divergence Detection This is the core concept. After an FVG forms across multiple assets, the indicator tracks whether price on each asset trades back into its respective gap. An SMT-Fill divergence occurs when one asset trades into its gap while a correlated asset does not trade into its corresponding gap — the assets disagree on whether the imbalance gets filled. The indicator monitors three levels within each gap: High — The top boundary of the FVG. Has price touched back into the gap at all? Midpoint (50%) — The equilibrium of the FVG. Has price traded through the halfway point? Low — The bottom boundary of the FVG. Has price completely filled the gap? For each level, the indicator maintains a "traded" flag for every asset. On every bar, it checks whether each asset's price has reached that level in its own FVG. A divergence is detected when your chart asset's traded flag differs from a correlated asset's traded flag at any level — meaning one has interacted with the gap at that level while the other has not. This produces three variants of SMT-Fill, each representing a different degree of divergence: Variant 1 — Touch divergence. One asset trades back into the gap (touching the high of the FVG), while the correlated asset fails to trade back into its gap at all. Variant 2 — Midpoint divergence. One asset trades below 50% of its gap, while the correlated asset fails to reach the 50% level of its gap. Variant 3 — Full fill divergence. One asset completely fills its gap (price reaches the low/high boundary), while the correlated asset fails to completely fill its corresponding gap. The indicator prioritises the most significant divergence level when drawing the SMT-Fill line. For bullish gaps, it checks the high level first (has any asset touched the gap while another hasn't), then midpoint, then low. For bearish gaps, it checks low first, then midpoint, then high. Gap Lifecycle and Cleanup Each tracked gap has a defined lifecycle: Creation — A 3-bar FVG is detected on your chart, and the same FVG pattern exists on at least one other asset in the triad at the same time. Active tracking — The indicator monitors whether each asset's price interacts with its own version of the gap at the high, midpoint, and low levels. Divergence display — When the traded flags disagree between assets at any level, the gap is drawn as a colored box with an optional SMT divergence line at the diverging level. Closure — When price closes completely through the gap (close below the low for bullish, close above the high for bearish), the gap is automatically deleted from the chart. Gaps where no divergence exists between assets are hidden by default — the indicator only shows FVGs where a crack in correlation has occurred within the imbalance. SMT-Fill Divergence Line When a divergence is detected, an optional horizontal line is drawn at the specific level where the disagreement occurs (high, midpoint, or low of the gap). This line marks the exact price level where one asset has interacted with the gap but the other has not — the precise point of the crack in correlation within the imbalance. The line extends as long as any asset is still interacting with the gap, plus a configurable extension buffer. HOW THE CONCEPTS WORK TOGETHER SMT-Fill is not simply an FVG detector with extra assets overlaid. The concepts form a specific analytical sequence: Concurrent FVG formation establishes the setup. A fair value gap must form on your chart asset and on at least one correlated asset at the exact same time. This is the prerequisite — it means both assets experienced the same imbalance event simultaneously, establishing a shared reference point. Independent fill tracking reveals disagreement. After the gap forms, each asset's price moves independently. The indicator tracks whether each asset returns to its own gap boundaries. When one fills while the other holds, it reveals that the market is not treating the imbalance the same way across correlated assets — a crack in correlation specifically within the imbalance itself. The divergence level identifies the price point. The SMT-Fill line marks exactly where the disagreement is occurring — whether at the gap entry (high), equilibrium (midpoint), or full fill (low). This gives you a specific price level to work with, not just a directional bias. Gap lifecycle provides context. Gaps that are fully closed are automatically removed. Only gaps with active divergences are displayed. This keeps the chart clean and focused on the information that matters — where correlated assets are currently disagreeing on imbalance interaction. HOW TO USE IT For HTF Bias: SMT-Fills on higher timeframes can frame lower timeframe trade ideas. For example, if you expect a bullish weekly candle and see price manipulate down into a daily FVG forming an SMT-Fill, you can assume that manipulation is likely the manipulation for the week — giving you a directional bias and allowing you to frame LTF entries accordingly. As an Entry Model: SMT-Fill can be combined with other Quarterly Theory concepts to build confluence. For example: SSMT forms, then the first presented gap is an SMT-Fill — higher probability entry A PSP forms, then the first presented gap is an SMT-Fill — confirmed reversal with imbalance divergence Any ICT entry model that involves an FVG can use SMT-Fill to increase the setup probability by confirming the gap is backed by a correlation crack Step by step: Add the indicator to your chart. It will automatically detect your asset triad and begin scanning for concurrent FVGs. When an FVG forms on your chart and on at least one correlated asset simultaneously, the indicator begins tracking fill levels on all assets. Once one asset trades into its gap while another does not, a colored box appears showing the SMT-Fill gap with a label indicating which asset is diverging. The SMT-Fill divergence line marks the exact level where the disagreement is occurring. Gaps are automatically removed when fully closed, keeping your chart clean. WHY THIS IS THIS INDICATOR WORTH USING? Without this indicator, identifying an SMT-Fill requires a trader to: Watch three charts simultaneously and mentally note when FVGs form at the same time across all of them Track the exact high, midpoint, and low of each gap on each asset independently Monitor in real time whether each asset trades back into its own gap at each of these three levels Compare the fill status across assets to determine if a divergence exists Remember which gaps have been fully closed and which are still active This is practically impossible to do manually in real time across three assets and multiple active gaps. The indicator automates the entire process — concurrent FVG detection, independent multi-level fill tracking across all triad members, divergence flagging, and automatic lifecycle management — into a single overlay. The SMT-Fill concept itself — tracking whether correlated assets agree or disagree on how they interact with simultaneously-formed imbalances — is an entirely original implementation. No other TradingView indicator detects concurrent FVGs across multiple assets, independently tracks fill levels at three price points per asset, and flags the divergence when assets disagree. This cannot be replicated by combining existing public FVG indicators because they only track a single asset and have no concept of cross-asset fill comparison. AUTO TRIAD The indicator automatically assigns the correct correlated triad based on your chart ticker: Index Futures: NQ / ES / YM (+ micro variants MNQ / MES / MYM) FX Indices: NAS100 / SPX500 / US30 Metals (spot): XAUUSD / XAGUSD / Copper Metals (futures): GC / SI / HG Forex: EURUSD / GBPUSD / DXY Currency Futures: 6E / 6B / DXY Energy: CL / RB / HO Bonds: ZF / ZB / TN Crypto (spot): BTCUSD / ETHUSD / XRPUSD via Kraken For unsupported tickers, manual configuration is available.

270m Session Cycles (Zeussy Inspired)This script simply outlines the 270 minute ranges as defined by Zeussy's time cycles. The difference is that I have defined an additional range separating the PM close/ Opening Gap (NWOG,NDOG) from the Asia session, labelled OG. Why? By separating this area from Asia, you get a bit more visual granularity when using ICT's Asia ATM 2024 Model. That's it. Regarding trading Asia, my other indicator "Asia Session Time Cycles" fits perfectly into this one, and could be considered a supplement to it, or vice-versa. So now you are thinking, well thats Asia, and I dont trade Asia so why bother with 270m cycles? Well, mainly because the core tenant of all ICT's concepts pretty much starts with liquidity sweeps (where moves are borne and die) and the 270m cycle really helps with visualizing this. Tip. This indy is best used on a m60 or lower TF chart. Look for the sweeps at IPDA times, you will eventually get the picture. *** Special thanks to @HandlesHandled for the open source script used to make this.

Correlated asset and Daye's Quarterly Theory This indicator is based on the Quarterly Theory concepts from Daye. You can find him mainly on X as traderdaye. It works on a new panel and the quarters will be drawn over the chart of the correlated that you set on its settings. You can use every asset to compare with the main one to make easier to find divergences between days, sessions and 90 minutes cycles. In different timeframes, the indicator could show more or less information about quarters, but will always show the compared asset one. This is due to limitations of the candles start (for example, the Session's Q2 open won't be shown on an hourly chart because it starts after 30 minutes of candle's open). What can this indicator do for you? - Show the correlated asset chart. - Show daily, session and 90 minutes cycle boxes. - Show Midnight and every session's Q2 open. - Make easier for the trained eye to determine if the model is AMDX or XAMD, find PO3, turtle soups, SMT divergences, etc. Do you have any suggestion? Please, leave it on the comments. I'll try to improve this indicator regularly.
