VX-Time Quadrant Overlay (Quarterly Cycles) by Ikaru-s-

anteayer

The Time Quadrant Overlay is a purely time-based visualization tool designed to structure market time into repeating quarterly cycles across multiple timeframes.

It does not generate trade signals, entries, or bias.
Its sole purpose is to provide time context, so price action can be interpreted within a clear cyclical framework.

What this indicator does

The indicator divides time into four repeating quarters (Q1–Q4) and displays them simultaneously across different time horizons, such as:

Weekly

Daily (6-hour quarters)

90-minute cycles

Micro cycles (within 90-minute structure)

Each row represents a different time cycle, allowing traders to see time alignment, transitions, and overlaps at a glance.

Quarter Structure

Each cycle follows the same repeating sequence:

Q1 – Early phase

Q2 – Expansion / “True Open” phase

Q3 – Continuation

Q4 – Late phase / Transition

The quarters are visualized using color-coded boxes, making it easy to see:

where the market currently is in time
when a new quarter begins
when multiple cycles align or diverge

Quarter Start Marker

An optional Quarter Start Marker (vertical dashed line) can be enabled to highlight the start of a selected quarter (default: Q2).

This is intended as a time reference, not a signal:

useful for planning
useful for contextualizing reactions to levels
useful for session and cycle awareness

How to use it (practical)

This tool is best used to:

provide time structure to existing analysis
plan around upcoming time transitions
contextualize reactions to levels or areas
understand where price is acting within a cycle

It works well alongside:

discretionary price action
session-based trading
futures and index markets
any methodology that respects time as a variable

Customization

The indicator is fully customizable:

Enable / disable individual cycles
Adjust box transparency and history depth
Toggle labels and pane labels
Enable / disable quarter start markers
Select which quarter to highlight

This allows the tool to remain clean on higher timeframes and detailed on lower ones.

Important Notes

This is a visual framework, not a strategy.
No claims of predictive power are made.
Time structure does not replace risk management or execution logic.
The indicator is designed to adapt across markets, but interpretation remains discretionary.

Final Thoughts

Time is often treated as secondary to price.
This tool exists to make time visible, structured, and easy to work with — nothing more, nothing less.
