Moon Phases Prediction

🌙 Moon Phases (with Next Event Projection)

Introduction

This indicator plots Moon Phases (New Moon and Full Moon) directly on your chart.
In addition to showing historical phases, it also calculates and projects the upcoming next moon phase using precise astronomical formulas.

Features

• Marks New Moons with circles above bars.
  
• Marks Full Moons with circles below bars.
  
• Dynamically adjusts background color based on waxing/waning phase.
  
• Calculates and displays the next upcoming moon event as a label positioned in the future.
  
• Works on all timeframes (except Monthly).
  

How It Works

1. Uses astronomical approximations (Julian Day → UNIX time conversion).
   
2. Detects the last occurred New Moon or Full Moon.
   
3. Projects the next moon event by adding half a synodic month (~14.77 days).
   
4. Displays the next event label at its exact future date on the chart.
   

Customization

• Waxing Moon color (default: Blue)
  
• Waning Moon color (default: White)
  

Use Cases

• Astro-finance: lunar cycles and market psychology.
  
• Trading strategies: aligning entries/exits with cyclical behavior.
  
• Visualization: adding an extra dimension of timing to chart analysis.
  

Notes
- The future moon event is displayed as a circle label on the correct date.
- If you cannot see the label, increase your chart’s right margin (Chart Settings → Scales → Right Margin).
- Calculations are approximate but astronomically accurate enough for trading or visual use.

Conclusion

This indicator is a simple yet powerful tool for traders interested in the influence of lunar cycles.
By combining historical phases with a projected next event, you can always be aware of where the market stands in the moon cycle timeline.
