Quarterly Theory Cycles + Alerts (Weekly/Daily/90-Minute Cycles)

Quarterly Theory Cycles (90m • Daily • Weekly)

Purpose
Built for Quarterly Theory. This indicator maps repeating quarters across three rhythms—90-minute, Daily, and Weekly (18:00 NY → 18:00 NY)—so you can track where price is within the current quarter and how it reacts to the previous quarter’s high/low.

Quarter Structure

90-Minute Quarters

• Labels:Q1 / Q2 / Q3 / Q4
  
• Sessions: Asia, London, NY, PM (each split into four 90-minute quarters).
  

Daily Quarters

• Labels: [D-Q1 / D-Q2 / D-Q3 / D-Q4
  
• Windows (America/New_York):
  
• D-Q1: 18:00–00:00
  
• D-Q2: 00:00–06:00
  
• D-Q3: 06:00–12:00
  
• D-Q4: 12:00–18:00
  

Weekly Quarters

• Labels: W-Q1 / W-Q2 / W-Q3 / W-Q4
• Trading days defined 18:00 NY → 18:00 NY (DST-aware).
  
• W-Q1 = Monday, W-Q2 = Tuesday, W-Q3 = Wednesday, W-Q4 = Thursday
  
• Friday intentionally excluded (no W-Q5) to preserve theory behavior.
  
• Use for higher-timeframe context and weekly narrative (e.g., expansion vs. distribution days).
  

What It Draws
Live, extending range boxes for the active quarter (H/L updates in real time).
Stored previous quarter’s high/low for each rhythm (90m, Daily, Weekly).

Alerts (Quarterly Theory-friendly)
Fires when price first breaks the previous quarter’s high/low:

• 90m: “Previous 90min cycle (…) high/low broken”
  
• Daily: “Previous daily cycle (…) high/low broken”
  
• Weekly: “Previous weekly cycle (…) high/low broken”
  

One alert per side per new quarter—clean signals for liquidity grabs or SSMTs.
