Retrograde Motion - Future Projections: [Blueprint_So9]

█ Retrograde Motion with Future Projections



Overview
This indicator visualizes planetary retrograde motion both historically and into the future across any timeframe up to 500 bars. Whether you’re reviewing past retrograde cycles or anticipating upcoming ones, this tool provides a clear and customizable view for analysis.

What is Retrograde?
Retrograde motion occurs when a planet appears to reverse direction from Earth’s perspective. This optical illusion, caused by relative planetary orbits, has long been studied for its potential timing relevance in financial and psychological cycles. Retrogrades are often associated with review, reversal, or disruption phases.


🔹 Key Features

Historical and Future Projection
Track retrograde cycles both in hindsight and into upcoming dates, allowing you to draw potential zones of interest before they arrive.

Split-Half Retrograde Visualization
Each retrograde period is divided into two halves, clearly highlighting the 50% midpoint. Users can view either the full retrograde duration or focus on each half separately for more granular analysis.

Multi-Timeframe Compatibility
Built to function seamlessly across all timeframes.

Planet Selection
Choose which planetary retrograde cycle to display.

Custom Visual Options
Toggle between full retrograde overlays or half-cycle shading. Background color transparency can be adjusted.

Original Logic: Future Projection Integration
This tool is one of the first to implement forward-looking retrograde cycle projections with midpoint segmentation.
