MT4 Cycle Indicator MT4: Unlock Market Cycles for Smarter Trading

Ever felt like you’re always late to the party in the markets? You spot a trend only after it’s run half its course, then miss the reversal and watch profits evaporate. We’ve all been there… chasing moves, hunting tops and bottoms, and wondering if there’s a better way. Well, guess what? There is. Meet the MT4 Cycle Indicator, a free, easy-to-use tool designed to pinpoint the natural ebbs and flows of price action on MetaTrader 4. No fancy strings attached, no paid subscription—just pure cycle detection to help you jump in early and exit on time.

Overview

The MT4 Cycle Indicator V1.0 is a powerful cycle analysis indicator built for traders who want clarity in otherwise noisy markets. It leverages proprietary algorithms to identify repeating price patterns—often called market cycles—so you can spot turning points before the crowd does. Whether you trade forex, indices, or commodities, this indcator works across all symbols and timeframes (from M1 to D1), giving you the flexibility to scalp, swing, or position trade.

Developed and rigorously back-tested by the YoForex team, the MT4 Cycle Indicator isn’t just theory; it’s live-market-verified. Over hundreds of thousands of ticks across major FX pairs, it has demonstrated consistent cycle detection accuracy of up to 85%. The indicator overlays colored cycle zones directly on your chart, shows projected turn dates, and even fires alerts when a cycle peak or trough is imminent. Plus, because it’s totally free on MQL5.software, you don’t have to pay a dime to start improving your timing.

By blending cycle theory with modern signal filtering, this tool cuts through random noise and helps you:

Enter trades closer to cycle troughs for lower risk entries
Exit near cycle peaks to lock in gains before reversals
Avoid sideways chop by trading only within valid cycle phases

And best of all, you’ll finally trade with confidence, not guesswork.

Backtest Results & Live Performance

To prove its mettle, YoForex ran an extensive backtest of the MT4 Cycle Indicator on EURUSD (M15) from January 2019 to December 2024. Here’s a quick summary of the findings:

Data Sample: 30,000+ cycles detected
Average Cycle Length: ~18 bars (15-minute timeframe)
Entry Accuracy: 78% of buy signals hit at least a 10-pip profit
Exit Accuracy: 82% of sell signals closed within 5 bars of actual peak
Max Drawdown During Cycle Trades: 4.2% of account equity

In live-market trials throughout H1 2025, users reported an average of 2–3 high-probability trades per day on EURUSD, GBPUSD, and USDJPY, with an overall win rate north of 70%. Combined with prudent risk management, these numbers translate to smoother equity curves and more predictable returns.

Pro tip: combine the cycle signals with a trend filter (like a simple MA or higher-timeframe trend line) to further boost accuracy. You’ll see fewer false turns and ride the big swings more effectively.
