Bradley Siderograph - Future Projections [Blueprint_So9]

█ Extended Version - Bradley Siderograph with Future Projections

This script builds on my original open-source contribution Bradley Siderograph and introduces future projection logic to extend plots into the future across any timeframe.

It has been stripped down to solely the planetary barometer. The use of gauges library and other elements have been removed to keep this version centered on the core Siderograph and future projection logic.



Original Description

This indicator functions as a Planetary Barometer, bringing the Bradley-Siderograph directly onto your TradingView chart. Designed for tracking the algebraic sum of planetary aspects and declination values in relation to market movements, it analyzes sidereal potential, long-term and mid-term planetary aspects, and the declination factor to provide insight into potential shifts in mass psychology. The built-in gauges act like a barometer, visually measuring the intensity and range of the components.

As Donald Bradley states in Stock Market Prediction:

"The siderograph is nothing more than a time chart showing a wavy line, which represents the algebraic total of the declination factor, the long terms, and the middle terms. It can be computed for any period—past or future—for which an ephemeris is available. Every aspect, whether long or middle term, is assigned a theoretical value of 10 at its peak. The value of the declination factor is half the algebraic sum of the given declinations of Venus and Mars, with northern declination considered positive and southern declination negative."

How the Bradley-Siderograph Works:
The Siderograph assigns positive and negative valencies based on the transits of inner and outer planets, categorized into long-term and mid-term aspects.

Each aspect (15° orb) is given a theoretical value, with the peak set at ±10. The approach and separation phases influence the weighting of each aspect leading up to its peak.

The sign of the valency depends on the type of aspect:

Squares and oppositions are assigned negative values
Trines and sextiles are assigned positive values
Conjunctions can be either positive or negative, depending on the planetary combination

Formula Used:
The Siderograph is computed as follows:

𝑃 = 𝑋 (𝐿 + 𝐷) + 𝑀

Where:

P = Sidereal Potential (final computed value)
X = Multiplier (to weight long-term aspects)
L = Long-term aspects (10 aspect combinations)
D = Declination factor (half the sum of Venus and Mars declinations)
M = Mid-term aspects

The long-term component (L + D) can be multiplied by a chosen factor (X) to emphasize its influence relative to the mid-term aspects.

How to Use the Indicator:
Once applied, the Siderograph line overlays on the chart, using the left-side scale for reference.
The indicator provides separate plots for:
Sidereal potential
Long-term aspects
Mid-term aspects
Declination factor



The indicator also marks the yearly high and low of the current year’s sidereal potential, providing a reference for when the market is trading above or below key levels. This feature was inspired by an observation made by Bradley in his book, which I wanted to incorporate here.

Users can fully customize the indicator by:
Switching between geocentric and heliocentric views.
Adjusting the orb of planetary transits to refine aspect sensitivity.
Multiplier (to weight long-term aspects)

Main Use Case
The Siderograph can be thought of as a psychological wind sock, gauging shifts in mass sentiment in response to planetary influences. Rather than forecasting market direction outright, it serves as an early warning system, signaling when conditions may be primed for changes in collective psychology.

As Donald Bradley notes in Stock Market Prediction:

"A limitation of the siderograph is that it cannot be construed as a forecast of secular trend. In statistical terminology, 'lines of regression' fitted to the market course and to the potential should not be expected to completely agree, for reasons obvious to everybody with keen business sense or commercial training. However, the siderograph may be depended upon to reward its analyst with foreknowledge of coming conditions in general, so that the non-psychological factors may be evaluated accordingly. By this, we mean that the potential will afford one with clues as to how the mass mind will 'take' the other mechanical or governmental vicissitudes affecting high finance. The siderograph may be thought of as a principle 'symptom' in diagnosing current market circumstances and as a sounding-board for prognoses concerning further developments."
