A planetary-cycle–driven trading system inspired by W.D. Gann's time and astrology principles — transforming real-time astronomical planetary positions into actionable market signals when a selected planet enters a specific zodiac sign.
"As above, so below — the celestial bodies mark the turning points of time, and time governs all market movement."
— W.D. Gann · Astro-Financial PrinciplesBuilt on Gann's core belief that celestial motion governs market timing. The engine monitors real-time planetary positions using precise astronomical calculations and fires trade signals the moment a planet crosses into a new zodiac sign — the astro-financial event Gann considered a primary market trigger.
This indicator transforms real-time astronomical planetary positions into actionable market signals by detecting the precise moment a selected planet enters a specified zodiac sign. Inspired directly by W.D. Gann's astro-financial theory, it blends celestial mechanics with systematic trade execution — generating entry signals, managing the full trade lifecycle, and tracking performance statistics, all within a single automated engine.
The core trigger is simple and powerful: when a planet ingresses into a new zodiac sign, a trade is opened in the configured direction. The trade remains active for a user-defined holding period (in trading days) — or exits earlier if stop-loss or take-profit is reached. If a new planetary signal fires exactly at the exit bar, the trade automatically extends — mirroring Gann's principle that overlapping planetary events amplify market turns.
Subscribers gain full access to the planetary signal engine, automated trade management, commission simulation, and the built-in performance analytics table — showing win rate, per-trade returns, and compound equity growth across all completed planetary cycles.
The stars and planets have their cycles of time just the same as everything else and these cycles repeat. By knowing the cycles and the laws, we can determine in advance when these changes will occur and take advantage of them.
— W.D. Gann · Astro-Financial TheoryMonitors the live astronomical position of any of the 10 supported planets using precision mathematical calculations. Signals trigger the exact moment a planet crosses into the selected zodiac sign — implementing Gann's principle that planetary ingress events mark potential market turning points.
Choose from the full range of astrological bodies: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto. Each planet carries a distinct cycle length and market influence in astro-financial theory — from the Moon's rapid 28-day cycle to Saturn's 29-year orbit. Combine with any of the 12 zodiac signs for targeted cycle research.
Switch between the Western Tropical zodiac (based on Earth's seasons) and the Vedic Sidereal zodiac (based on fixed star positions, with Ayanamsa correction). Each system places planetary positions differently — allowing research into both Western and Vedic astro-financial traditions on the same chart.
Configure entries based on a specific calendar date (day/month, with odd/even year filters for recurring seasonal patterns) or relative to the current date. Exits can be set to a specific date or triggered after a defined number of bars — giving full control over backtesting fixed holding-period strategies driven by celestial motion.
Once an entry fires, the trade remains open for a user-defined number of trading days — modeling the exact approach Gann described for planetary cycle trading. If a new planetary signal occurs precisely at the exit bar, the trade automatically extends, capturing overlapping cycle amplification rather than exiting prematurely.
Apply optional percentage-based stop-loss and take-profit levels to every planetary trade. Both levels are plotted visually on-chart and trigger automatic exits — protecting capital when the market moves against the cycle signal, and locking in profits before the holding period expires.
Displays a complete on-chart statistics panel covering: signal type (trade side + entry/exit mode), total trades, wins and losses, maximum/minimum/average returns, win rate, compound return (before or after commission), and bars remaining until current trade closure. Every metric updates automatically as new planetary cycles complete.
Simulate realistic trading costs by configuring separate entry and exit commission percentages. All profit/loss calculations, win rate, and compound return figures in the performance table automatically incorporate these costs — producing accurate, non-inflated backtesting results for disciplined cycle research.
Entry, stop-loss, and take-profit levels are plotted directly on the chart with configurable colors and label sizes (Tiny to Huge). Candles automatically color to reflect the active trade state — bullish color during long trades, bearish during shorts, neutral in flat periods — creating instant visual clarity across the full trade history.
Set independent alerts for each trade event: Entry (new planetary signal), Stop-Loss hit, Take-Profit hit, and Exit (holding period or date-based close). Toggle each alert type individually so you receive only the notifications relevant to your active strategy — no noise from unused event types.
Every parameter is configurable: planet, zodiac sign, zodiac type, trade direction, entry/exit mode, holding period, stop-loss and take-profit percentages, commission rates, label sizes, colors, and performance table position and style. The indicator adapts to any research methodology — from simple planetary ingress studies to multi-cycle systematic backtests.
Run the full planetary signal engine in Long or Short mode to study how markets respond to specific celestial events from both directions. Compare long vs short performance across the same planetary cycle to determine which directional bias has historically aligned with that planet's market influence.
Choose Long or Short depending on the directional hypothesis you want to test. In astro-financial theory, specific planetary ingress events have historically corresponded to bullish or bearish market phases on certain instruments. Begin with Long for most studies, then test Short separately to compare results before drawing conclusions about directional bias.
Select the planet whose zodiac ingress you want to study (e.g., Jupiter entering Aries, Saturn entering Capricorn, Venus entering Taurus). Each planet-sign combination represents a distinct cycle frequency — Jupiter takes approximately 12 years to complete one full zodiac tour, while the Moon completes the cycle in 28 days. Start with slower planets (Jupiter, Saturn) for clearer long-term market correlations.
Choose Tropical if you want to apply Western astro-financial analysis — this system is aligned to Earth's seasons and is the most commonly used in financial astrology research. Choose Sidereal (with automatic Ayanamsa adjustment) if you prefer Vedic astrology principles. The two systems place planetary positions approximately 23–24 degrees apart, so test both on your target market to determine which produces more consistent historical correlations.
Set entry to trigger on a Specific Date (defined day and month, with optional odd/even year filters) or based on the Current Date for live signal generation. Set exit to a Specific Date or a Bar Count (fixed number of bars after entry). The Bar Count exit directly implements Gann's fixed holding-period concept — hold for a defined cycle duration regardless of interim price action.
Enable Stop Loss and Take Profit and define their percentage distances from the entry price. These act as protective boundaries for the holding period strategy — if the market moves significantly against the planetary cycle signal, the stop-loss exits the trade before the full holding period expires. Begin with wider stops (10–15%) to avoid premature exits during initial research phases.
Turn on Trade Levels to display entry, stop-loss, and take-profit lines directly on the chart. Enable Bar Color to color candles by trade state (long = bullish color, short = bearish, flat = neutral). These visualizations allow immediate assessment of how each planetary cycle trade unfolded against the price action — revealing whether market reactions aligned with the celestial timing.
Enable commission modeling and set realistic entry and exit percentages for your market and broker. This is especially important for high-frequency planetary cycles (Moon sign changes occur every 2–3 days) where transaction costs can significantly impact overall performance. All performance metrics in the statistics table will automatically reflect these costs.
Enable the specific alert types you need — Entry for live signal notification, Exit for position close, Stop-Loss and Take-Profit for automated level monitoring. Once activated, the indicator generates trade markers, colored candles, and the statistics table automatically across all historical bars. Review the visual trade sequence before going live to confirm the cycle has produced consistent behavior on your target market.
Analyze the performance table: total trades completed, win rate, maximum/minimum/average returns per trade, and compound equity growth across all planetary cycles. Iterate systematically — test different planets, sign combinations, zodiac types, and holding periods. Document which combinations produce the highest win rates on your specific market. This research process is the practical application of Gann's astro-financial methodology: finding the celestial cycle that resonates most with your instrument's natural rhythm.
