Using Planetary Angles and Positions as Trading Indicators
Summary
The document describes three astrology-based indicators for trading systems: one reports the angle between two selected planets, one reports planetary declinations, and one reports planetary positions. Values are expressed in degrees, and a parameter selects geocentric or heliocentric calculations. It suggests using the angle indicator to examine Sun–Moon cycles, identifying conjunctions at zero degrees and oppositions at 180 degrees, then looking for turning points in both the indicator and price.
It outlines how to connect the indicators to an automated trading system and notes that the calculations require an external astronomy library. It also describes returned values for position and declination. The material provides implementation guidance and an interpretive hypothesis, but no trading rules beyond looking for turning points, backtest, performance evidence, or risk controls. It therefore does not establish that planetary cycles predict market prices; any use as a signal would need independent testing.
Key ideas
- The indicators report angles between selected planets, planetary declinations, or planetary positions in degrees.
- A parameter determines whether the calculations use a geocentric or heliocentric frame.
- The document proposes examining Sun–Moon conjunctions and oppositions alongside price for possible turning points.
- Using the indicators in an automated system requires an external astronomy library.
- No backtest or evidence of predictive performance is provided.
