Built-In Quarterly Segmentation (Daye’s Quarterly Theory)
I would like to request a built-in quarterly segmentation tool to support backtesting based on Daye’s Quarterly Theory (ICT framework by Michael J. Huddleston).
Requested Functionality
Automatic segmentation and optional visual marking of:
Micro cycles (intra-session)
90-Minute cycles
Daily cycles
Weekly cycles
Monthly cycles
Quarterly cycles (Q1–Q4)
Yearly cycles
Each cycle could optionally display:
Open price
High / Low
Midpoint (50%)
Clear visual separators between cycles
Why This Is Important
ICT-based strategies rely heavily on time-cycle alignment (top-down bias from Yearly → Quarterly → Monthly → Weekly → Daily → Intraday).
Currently, there is no native way to:
Automatically segment historical data into structured time cycles
Visually study dealing ranges across multiple time hierarchies
Backtest time-based bias models efficiently
Having this built directly into the platform (rather than as a manual workaround) would significantly improve workflow and analytical precision for time-cycle traders.
Reference (Existing Community Demand)
Public scripts implementing quarterly/time-cycle logic can be found on TradingView:
This shows strong community interest in structured time-cycle tools.
