Using CyclesX

Your first look at a chart

A two-minute routine for any chart.

1. 1 Open the chart and timeframe you trade. CyclesX picks the matching preset automatically.
2. 2 Read the Dominant Cycle row first. Strong and Confirmed cycles give the clearest readings; at Low confidence, lean on a higher timeframe. If it names a higher timeframe to check, switch to it.
3. 3 Read the Summary for the quick take.
4. 4 Check Position in Cycle: rising or falling, how far along, and when the next turn is due.
5. 5 Check the Turn Zone. 5 or more either way means the cycles are lining up at a turn.
6. 6 Look at the chart: is price above or below the green FLD, and where is the FLD target circle?

Tip. If the chart is cluttered, turn on Clean trading view in the Hurst layer settings.

Watching for a turn

How to use the panel and chart together when a cycle low or high is approaching.

1. 1 Position in Cycle shows a ● and "Trough due around …" or "Peak due around …".
2. 2 The Turn Zone moves to 5 or more, and the ● expected trough markers of two or three cycles sit close together.
3. 3 Wait for the Cycle RSI to turn from its band.
4. 4 Wait for price to close across the trade cycle’s FLD. That is the confirmation; the cycle timing alone is not.

Tip. Cycle timing tells you when to pay attention. Price tells you when the turn has happened.

Reading an FLD target

Every FLD crossing gets a price and time target.

1. 1 Find the circle on the chart and the FLD Target row in the panel.
2. 2 The dotted line shows the move from the trough to the crossing. The target repeats that move beyond the crossing.
3. 3 Pending means not reached yet. When price gets there, a green ✓ marks the bar and the label says early, on time or late.
4. 4 If price crosses back and forth, each new crossing updates the target slightly. The trough it is measured from stays the same.

Following the signal

How the built-in FLD signal works.

1. 1 A signal appears when a bar closes across the trade cycle’s FLD, holds for the confirmation bars, and price is on the same side of both agreement FLDs.
2. 2 Read its grade: A means both agreement cycles agree, B one, C neither.
3. 3 The red stop line sits at the turn before the crossing. The exit follows the trade rule you chose.
4. 4 If you see a target but no trade levels, the crossing did not qualify. The Signal row says why.

Tip. Set alerts for grade A or B signals so you do not have to watch the chart.

Setting up for the phone

The TradingView phone app shows the panel when it is on the price chart.

1. 1 Make a copy of your chart layout for the phone.
2. 2 In CyclesX settings, Panel, tables and dates: set Panel on to Price chart and tick Compact panel.
3. 3 Untick rows you do not need on a small screen, for example Summary or Composite.
4. 4 Raise Panel transparency if the panel hides the candles.

Checking a higher timeframe

Long cycles often need a higher timeframe to be confirmed.

1. 1 If the Dominant Cycle row says "stronger …-bar cycle: check the daily chart", switch to that timeframe.
2. 2 Read its verdict and Position there. A confirmed higher-timeframe cycle is the backdrop for the lower one.
3. 3 Trade in the direction the higher cycle supports, timing with the lower one.

Laying the wave over the candles

The cycle wave sits in the pane by default. You can move it onto the price chart with its own scale.

1. 1 Make sure Pane shows is set to Cycle wave.
2. 2 Open the CyclesX pane menu and choose Move to › Existing pane above.
3. 3 Choose Pin to scale › New left scale. Price keeps its scale on the right.
4. 4 Drag the left scale to stretch or squash the wave over the candles.
5. 5 To keep the Cycle RSI line too, add CyclesX a second time with Pane shows set to Cycle RSI, and save both as an indicator template.

Tip. TradingView saves this arrangement in your chart layout, so you only set it up once.

Setting alerts

Let CyclesX tell you when something happens.

1. 1 Open TradingView’s alert dialog on the chart.
2. 2 Choose CyclesX as the condition, then the alert: a trade signal, a Turn Zone, or a cycle confirmed.
3. 3 For full messages with entry, stop and exit, choose "Any alert() function call".
4. 4 Set it to once per bar close.

If something looks wrong

Common questions when a reading looks odd.

1. 1 Lines moved: the cycle lengths updated with new data. This is normal, and bigger changes mean the market’s rhythm shifted.
2. 2 No cycle passed the filters: no clear rhythm on this timeframe right now. Try a higher one.
3. 3 Dates look off: check the time zone in the panel header and in Panel, tables and dates.
4. 4 The panel is missing on the phone: set Panel on to Price chart.
