GyroTempo

Reading the market's hidden rhythm — Cyber Cycle flip, gated by a low-lag baseline.

Overview

GyroTempo is a cycle-timing framework for the H1 timeframe. It listens to the market's short-term rhythm with Ehlers' Cyber Cycle oscillator, and only acts when that rhythm turns in the same direction the SuperSmoother baseline is pointing. A volatility "aliveness" check keeps it out of dead, rangebound noise.

The two engines

Rhythm Wheel · Cyber Cycle

A detrended oscillator that extracts the cyclic component of price and swings around a zero center. A cross of the zero line marks a turn in the short-term rhythm.

Smooth Baseline · SuperSmoother

A two-pole Butterworth-style filter that tracks price with far less lag than a moving average. Price above it favors up-plans; below, down-plans.

Signal rules

▲ Up opportunity

1. Cyber Cycle crosses above zero
2. Price sits above the SuperSmoother
3. ATR(14) ≥ 0.6 × its 50-bar average

▼ Down opportunity

1. Cyber Cycle crosses below zero
2. Price sits below the SuperSmoother
3. ATR(14) ≥ 0.6 × its 50-bar average

Default set was simulation-checked at roughly 1.5 signals per day on H1. Always backtest 1–2 years of H1 data in the strategy tester before any live use.
