Introduction
CyclesX is a cycle analysis indicator for TradingView. It measures the cycles present in a market, grades each one for quality, and applies J.M. Hurst’s tools to the cycles that are actually there.
This manual describes every part of the indicator and every setting. It assumes you know how to use TradingView. For the ideas behind cycles, see the Learn tracks.
Before you start
- Access
- CyclesX is an invite-only TradingView indicator. Open its script page on TradingView and send the author a private message with your username. Once you are added, it appears under Indicators › Invite-only scripts.
- Markets
- Any market TradingView offers: stocks, indices, forex, crypto, commodities and futures.
- Timeframes
- 1 minute to monthly. A preset matching the chart’s timeframe is applied automatically.
- History
- The scan needs several hundred bars of history. On new listings or short histories, fewer cycles can be confirmed.
Adding CyclesX to a chart

What you get by default
- Simple panel
- A plain-language briefing on the price chart.
- Cycle wave
- The composite cycle in the pane below the chart, in cyan, with a dashed projection. It can also be drawn over the candles (General › Cycle wave on price chart).
- Hurst layer
- The trade cycle’s FLD with its crossings and target, past troughs for all three cycles over their last few cycles, and the expected troughs, all built on the measured cycles.
- Cycle RSI
- Its value and band turns in the panel. Set Pane shows to Cycle RSI to see the line.
- Updates
- Once per closed bar, so readings do not flicker.
Good to know
- Projections
- Dates and the dashed wave show the current rhythm carried forward. They change as new bars arrive.
- Changing cycles
- The cycle lengths can update as the market changes. When they do, the FLDs and past troughs are redrawn with the new lengths.
- Holidays
- Future dates follow each market’s trading days and hours, but holidays cannot be known in advance, so read dates as “around”.
- Low confidence
- When the dominant cycle is graded Low confidence, Position and Turn Zone turn grey. A higher timeframe often gives a clearer picture.
