Market Cycles Indicator

Markets rarely move in straight lines; they fluctuate in cycles with peaks and troughs. Swing traders aim to enter trades at swing highs or lows for maximum profit potential. The Market Cycles Indicator for MT4 is a free tool that identifies these turning points accurately, making it ideal for short-term swing trading and scalping in ranging markets.

This indicator is suitable for lower timeframes like 5-minute and 15-minute charts and works for all currency pairs and financial instruments, making it beginner-friendly and versatile.

How the Market Cycles Indicator Works

The indicator uses moving average bands to generate buy and sell signals. It consists of three bands representing Cycle 1, Cycle 2, and Cycle 3, oscillating between positive and negative values.

Buy Signals

A buy trade is signaled when:

Cycle 1 moves above Cycle 2 and Cycle 3

All three cycles are in positive territory (above 0)

Stop Loss: Place below the recent swing low
Take Profit: Exit when Cycle 1 drops below the other cycles and all cycles fall below zero

Sell Signals

A sell trade is signaled when:

All cycles move into negative territory (below 0)

Cycle 1 is below Cycle 2 and Cycle 3

Stop Loss: Place above the recent swing high
Take Profit: Exit when Cycle 1 rises above the other cycles

Trading Example

For example, in the USD/CAD chart, a green arrow indicates a sell signal where Cycle 1 moves below the other two cycles, and all bands are in the negative region. The market subsequently trends downward.

Conversely, a red arrow indicates a buy signal where Cycle 1 rises above the other two cycles, with all cycles in the positive region, leading to a bullish movement.
