369 IPDA Time Detector

Summary

The 369 IPDA Time Detector is a specialized tool designed to visualize key temporal turning points in the market based on the "3, 6, 9" digital root principle. It serves as a confirmation layer for traders who focus on the time-based nature of Institutional Price Delivery Algorithms (IPDA), operating on the premise that while price can be manipulated, institutional algorithms adhere to predictable time sequences.

Core Concept

This indicator is built upon the theory that the numbers 3, 6, and 9 represent an underlying logic behind significant market swings. By applying digital root calculations (a process of summing the digits of a number until a single digit remains) to various time components, the indicator identifies moments that align with this core principle. These moments can act as high-probability confirmation for reversals, entries, or exits when used in conjunction with sound market analysis.

How It Works

The indicator performs digital root calculations on the opening time of each bar. If the final digital root of an enabled time calculation is 3, 6, or 9, it signals an IPDA Time event.

The following time calculations can be independently enabled:

- Year + Month + Day: For long-term swing analysis.
- Month + Day: For medium-term swing analysis.
- Day: For short-term swing analysis.
- Hour + Minutes: For intraday and session-based analysis.
- Minutes: For high-precision entry and exit timing.

For combined periods (e.g., "Hour + Minutes"), the indicator first calculates the digital root of the hour and the minute separately, then sums those roots and finds the final digital root of the result.

Features & How to Use

- Visual Markers: Highlights bars that meet an active IPDA time condition with a colored background, making them easy to spot.
- Informative Labels: Displays a label above the signal bar indicating which time calculation triggered the event (e.g., "H+M = 9"). If multiple conditions are met, it will display the highest-ranking signal (Y+M+D is highest).
- Granular Control: You can independently toggle each of the five time calculations on or off to tailor the indicator to your specific trading style and timeframe.
- CRITICAL - Timezone Setting: The indicator's calculations are based on the timezone selected in the settings. **It is essential to set this to your chart's display timezone** for the signals to align correctly with the candles you are viewing. The default is "America/New_York".

Disclaimer

This indicator is not a standalone trading system and does not provide buy or sell signals. It is designed as a confirmation tool. Its signals should always be interpreted within the context of your existing analysis, such as market structure, Accumulation-Manipulation-Distribution (AMD) cycles, and other technical factors. Trading involves significant risk.

Update v1.1

Thank you for your valuable feedback! This update focuses on improving the out-of-the-box experience and fixing a critical calculation bug on higher timeframes.

• Default Settings Update: To provide a cleaner starting point and reduce initial signal noise, the indicator now defaults to having only "Hour+Minutes" enabled. All other time calculations can still be enabled manually in the settings.
  
• Major Bug Fix - Daily Timeframe Accuracy: Corrected a critical bug where calculations on Daily and higher timeframes could be inaccurate due to timezone conversions around midnight. The Year+Month+Day calculations are now precise and reliable on all timeframes.
