CF Cycle Low Projection V2Overview
This indicator helps traders analyze repeating market cycles by detecting significant pivot lows and projecting when the next cycle low may occur. It provides timing context to support decision-making but does not generate direct buy/sell signals.
How it works
Pivot detection : Confirms swing lows using left/right bars. Filters (minimum % move and optional ATR separation) ensure only meaningful lows are counted.
Cycle averaging : Calculates the average interval (and standard deviation) between recent pivot lows.
Projection : Adds the average interval to the last pivot low to forecast the next potential cycle low. If that point lies in the past, the script rolls forward until the projection is in the future.
Timing window : A shaded area around the ETA is drawn, based on either standard deviation or a percentage of the average, showing when a low is statistically more likely to occur.
Visualization:
• Vertical line = projected cycle low
• Shaded box = timing window
• Label = countdown in weeks/days/hours
• HUD = status, ETA, intervals used
How to use
Select your preferred timeframe (works on intraday and higher).
Allow pivots to accumulate; once the HUD shows Status: OK, projections will appear.
Use the ETA line and timing window together with structure, liquidity levels, and support/resistance zones.
Combine with your own strategy and risk management rules.
Notes
Works on any market supported by TradingView (crypto, stocks, forex, indices).
Filters can be adjusted to reduce noise (e.g., increase % move or ATR multiplier).
This tool is designed for cycle timing analysis only. It does not predict exact prices or guarantee outcomes.
Some traders refer to this approach as “camel cycle trading,” but here it is implemented as a pivot-based cycle projection tool.
