Quarterly Cycles by [M1rage]

Quarterly Cycles by [M1rage] — Indicator Description (English)
Purpose
“Quarterly Cycles by [M1rage]” is a multi-time-frame tool that visualizes recurring market rhythms—from 90-minute sessions up to annual cycles—and highlights Seasonal & Session-to-Session Market Transitions (SSMT).
It helps discretionary and quantitative traders:

See where the current bar sits inside intraday, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly cycles.

Spot fresh highs/lows relative to the previous cycle and immediately know whether the move is confirmed across correlated assets.

Detect potential reversals via automated divergence markup (positive vs negative extremes in the same swing).

Core Logic
Cycle Engine

Computes cycle starts from a fixed reference (1972-12-31 23:00 GMT+3, adjustable via the Time Offset input).

Draws one of nine cycle layers depending on the active chart resolution:

Time-frame Cycle(s) Rendered Box Style
5 min / 15 min 90 min & 6 h 90 m boxes: filled, 6 h boxes: border only
60 min 6 h & 1 day 6 h boxes: filled, 1 D boxes: border
4 h 1 day & 1 week 1 D boxes: filled, 1 W boxes: border
1 D 22.5 day (quarter inside a 90-day period) border
1 W 3-month, 1-year 3 M filled, 1 Y border

Color Scheme

Four-color palette (gray → red → green → blue) cycles every quarter; colors are reused consistently across all layers so you can correlate quickly.

Dynamic Boxes

Each box expands in real-time until the cycle completes, then freezes; a limited history (maxCycleBoxes, default = 250) is retained to save CPU.

SSMT Divergence Scanner

For every completed cycle the script compares new highs/lows with the previous cycle for (a) the main chart symbol and (b) up to three optional symbols.

If the main asset makes a higher high and at least one satellite asset makes a lower high (or vice-versa), the indicator draws:

A solid line between the two swing extremes.

A circle label with a tooltip listing the diverging asset symbols.

Works independently on the 90 m, 6 h, 1 D, and 1 W cycle layers.

Toggle historic marks with Show History to avoid clutter.

Inputs Overview
Group Key Settings Function

Cycle Settings Show Quarter Cycles, Box Limit, Line Style, Line / BG Transparency, Label Font & Colors Visual customization.
SSMT Settings Up to 3 correlated assets (Asset 2 / 3 / 4) with optional inversion; Show History, Markup Line Width, Label Size Controls divergence detection.

Practical Tips
Lower time-frames (<15 m) are ideal for intraday scalping around 90-minute and 6-hour boxes.

1 D / 1 W layers expose where the current swing sits inside monthly or quarterly structure—useful for swing entries at box extremes.

Combine the label tooltips with your watch-list: when GBPUSD is listed as an opposite asset to EURUSD, watch for mean-reversion setups.

Setting Time Offset = -5 hours aligns the 90-minute cycle start with New-York midnight (useful for FX traders).
