AMS Hierarchical Market Cycle Mapper Pro

AMS Hierarchical Market Cycle Mapper Pro is a visual market-cycle indicator designed to help traders understand where price may be within a larger market rhythm.

The indicator highlights important cycle highs and lows, shows candle-count information, marks strong breakout candles, displays key Fibonacci zones, and projects possible future price and time areas where the next market reaction may develop.

It is built for traders who want a cleaner way to read market structure across multiple timeframes without manually marking every swing, candle count, or retracement zone.

• Recent market-cycle highs and lows [1H High] [1H Low] [4H High] [4H Low] [Daily High] [Daily Low] [Weekly High] [Weekly Low]

Main Chart Features

Cycle Markers [1H High] [1H Low] [4H High] [4H Low] [Daily High] [Daily Low] [Weekly High] [Weekly Low]

The indicator marks important cycle highs and lows across different timeframes.

You can choose to display:

• 1-Hour cycle markers [1H High] [1H Low]
• 4-Hour cycle markers [4H High] [4H Low]
• Daily cycle markers [Daily High] [Daily Low]
• Weekly cycle markers [Weekly High] [Weekly Low]

Each timeframe has its own visual style so you can quickly identify which cycle is being shown.

Candle Count Labels [candles]

When enabled, the indicator shows how many candles have passed within the current cycle movement.

Example labels may appear as:

• [18 candles]
• [27 candles]
• [30 candles]

This helps traders understand whether a cycle is still developing, maturing, or reaching an area where a reaction may become more likely.

Cycle Failure Signals [1H FAIL / 4H TOP] [4H FAIL / D TOP] [D FAIL / WEEKLY]

Cycle failure signals appear when price shows signs that one cycle may be breaking down or shifting direction.

Common labels include:

• [1H FAIL / 4H TOP] — suggests a 4H top may be forming after a 1H failure
• [1H BO / 4H LOW] — suggests a 4H low may be forming after a 1H breakout
• [4H FAIL / D TOP] — suggests a Daily top may be forming after a 4H failure
• [4H BO / D LOW] — suggests a Daily low may be forming after a 4H breakout
• [D FAIL / WEEKLY] — suggests the Weekly cycle may be entering correction
• [D BO / WEEKLY] — suggests the Weekly cycle may be turning upward
• [W FAIL / MONTHLY] — suggests the Monthly structure may be weakening
• [W BO / MONTHLY] — suggests the Monthly structure may be improving

These signals are intended to help traders spot moments where a smaller cycle may be confirming a change in a larger cycle.

Fibonacci Inflection Zones [0.382] [0.500] [0.786]

The indicator automatically displays important Fibonacci zones on the chart.

The main levels shown are:

• [0.382]
• [0.500]
• [0.786]

These areas are often watched as possible support, resistance, bounce, rejection, or target zones.

When shaded zones are enabled, the indicator visually highlights the area between these levels to make the important price zone easier to see.

Power Candle Highlights [Bull PC] [Bear PC]

Power Candles are marked when the indicator detects a strong directional candle.

Labels shown on the chart:

• [Bull PC] — strong bullish momentum candle
• [Bear PC] — strong bearish momentum candle

These candles can help traders identify moments where momentum may be increasing and price may be breaking through an important level.

Moving Averages [10 EMA] [21 EMA] [55 MA] [200 MA]

The indicator includes optional moving averages for additional trend context.

You can display:

• 10 EMA [10 EMA]
• 21 EMA [21 EMA]
• 55 Moving Average [55 MA]
• 200 Moving Average [200 MA]

The indicator can also show short-term moving average cross labels:

• [10>21] — short-term momentum improving
• [10<21] — short-term momentum weakening

These can help traders see short-term direction, trend strength, and possible support or resistance areas.

Future Projection Features

The indicator also includes optional projection tools to help visualize possible future price behavior.

These projections are not predictions. They are visual planning tools designed to show possible areas of interest based on the current market structure.

Future Target Zones [Future Infliction Zone]

When enabled, the indicator draws a forward target box on the right side of the chart.

This box highlights the area where price may react if the current cycle continues to develop.

The label may appear as:

• [Future Infliction Zone]
• [Target zone: 0.382 / 0.5 / 0.786]

This helps traders quickly identify the next important price zone to watch.

Cycle Time Windows [Next bottom window] [Next top window]

The indicator can display a future time window where the next cycle high or low may become more likely.

Common labels include:

• [Next bottom window]
• [Next top window]
• [Avg: candles]
• [Current count]
• [Due in: candles]

This gives traders a visual idea of when to start paying closer attention, instead of only focusing on price levels.

Projected A-B-C Path [Wave A] [Wave B] [Wave C Target]

The A-B-C path feature draws a simple visual path showing one possible correction or continuation structure.

Labels shown on the chart:

• [Wave A]
• [Wave B]
• [Wave C Target]

This is useful for planning scenarios, especially when price appears to be correcting within a larger cycle.

Invalidation Lines [Invalid above] [Invalid below]

Invalidation lines show the level where the current projection may no longer be valid.

Common labels include:

• [Invalid above]
• [Invalid below]
• [Bearish path invalid above]
• [Bullish path invalid below]

This helps traders clearly identify the price area that would cancel the current projected scenario.
