About

What it does

Almanac Timing shows what this hour and this weekday usually did in the last N days. Hour and weekday histograms sit on the chart. A historical range cone extends to the right of price: the inner band is where price landed half the time, the outer band is 7 of 10. The panel labels the current slot usually up, usually down, or no habit. Calculations use closed-bar history. It never sends orders. It does not forecast the future. The cone is a historical range, not a prediction engine.

How to use it

Attach it to any symbol and timeframe. The histograms and cone read H1 history. Leave History Days at 120 unless you want a shorter or longer window. Read the hero line for this hour’s habit; use the cone only as the past range for this hour, not as a target. A cell stays blank until it has enough samples.

Inputs

Strategy Window: InpHorizonHours (histogram look-ahead in real hours, default 2.0), InpForwardBars (fallback bars if Horizon=0, default 5), InpConeHours (cone length in real hours ahead, default 8), InpHistoryDays (history depth in calendar days, default 120), InpMinSamplesForDisplay (minimum samples before a cell counts, default 20). Edge Thresholds: InpBullThresholdPct (usually-up if win% >= this, default 55), InpBearThresholdPct (usually-down if win% <= this, default 45). Between those two is no habit. Display: InpShowHistogram (hour + weekday panel, default true), InpShowCone (historical range cone after price, default true), InpUseDayOfWeek (weekday row, default true), InpUseHourOfDay (24-hour histogram, default true), InpPanelCorner (default left upper), InpPanelX (default 15), InpPanelY (default 30), InpFontSize (default 9).

Recommended context

Works on FX, metals, energy, and crypto. Most readable on H1, because the buckets are hour and weekday. The indicator does not trade, so no fill policy or stop-level assumptions apply.

What it does not do

It does not forecast the future. It shows what that hour and weekday usually did in the last N days. The cone is a historical range, not a prediction engine. It does not place orders, grid, martingale, or average in. It does not use DLL, WebRequest, or network access. It never sends orders.
