Chart: BTCUSD, 30m Heikin Ashi (UTC)
Indicator: Price and Longitude Angles (Open Source)
Attribution: Inspired by Patrick Mikula’s interpretation of Gann’s use of planetary longitude in market analysis. Fully open source for anyone to explore, test, or adapt.
This walkthrough demonstrates how to configure the script to study Moon longitude as price geometry. The aim is to provide a repeatable setup for observing how Moon angles from highs and lows can act as reference points for support and resistance. There are other features of this indicator that are not covered in this post.
Note: The aqua arcs visible in this chart are not part of the indicator. They were manually drawn to highlight where price touched or balanced against these slopes for educational clarity.
🛠 How to Reproduce the Moon Angles on this BTC 30min Chart
1. Load the indicator — when it initializes, you’ll be prompted to select a pivot high or low.
2. The default view will show the Sun angle with the Longitude Relationship Table and Orbital Colors visible. For this walkthrough, disable both of those.
3. Select the Moon: To focus on one body, choose it in both dropdowns.
If two different planets are chosen, the script averages their longitudes.
4. In Price Per Degree, enter 100 — mapping 1° of Moon longitude to $100 of price.
5. Enable the angles you want to observe — here, the 1×1, 2×1, and 8×1 were used.
(Optional) Draw arcs manually to mark where price touches or balances against the angles. These are annotations for teaching, not script outputs.
🔍 Observations
The 1×1 and 2×1 slopes from both highs and lows often lined up with price as support or resistance.
The aqua arcs emphasize those interactions, showing balance points where price paused or pivoted.
📐 What the Angles Mean
1×1 (45° equivalent): For every 1° of Moon longitude, $100 is added in price. This creates a slope where price and longitude advance in equal proportion.
2×1: The line is steeper — price advances at twice the rate relative to longitude (i.e., $200 per 1°).
8×1: Much flatter — price advances slower relative to longitude ($100 spread across 8°).
These ratios create families of angles that can act as dynamic support or resistance lines, depending on whether they’re drawn from a high or low.
The Moon advances ~13° per day
🌙 Why Use the Moon for Angles?
Skepticism toward astro-trading concepts is understandable. Many dismiss them as pseudoscience. I shared that doubt initially while diving into Patrick Mikula’s research on W.D Gann’s methods, which prompted me to build this indicator as a testable tool rather than blind faith.
At its core, planetary movements follow predictable cycles untouched by human bias or market noise. Consider the Moon’s gravitational pull: it drives ocean tides with undeniable regularity, proving celestial forces can impact earthly systems in measurable ways.
These cosmic rhythms — rooted in orbital mechanics — repeat with precision, offering a reliable dataset for analysis. By mapping planetary longitudes to price ratios, we generate quantifiable angles and fans that allow backtesting of potential correlations with market turns. This isn’t about fortune-telling; it’s an empirical lens for spotting harmonic patterns in price action, complementing traditional technicals like volume or oscillators. Use it to validate ideas objectively, and let the data speak for itself.
🎓 Educational Takeaway
This walkthrough is about configuration and study. It shows how Moon-based geometry can be applied as an overlay on BTCUSD to observe possible balance points. The arcs are simply annotations to highlight touches. No signals or forecasts are implied.
