US Election Cycles Lines
US Election Cycle Indicator (Buy the Dip Model)
This indicator visualizes the historical US presidential election cycle directly on the chart by automatically marking key dates based on real election calendars.
The core idea is a well-known long-term market pattern:
“Buy two years before the election, sell during the election year.”
🔍 What the indicator shows
• Vertical BUY lines — exactly 2 years before each US presidential election
• Vertical ELECTION lines — the actual US Election Day (November, Tuesday)
• Dates are calculated programmatically, not hardcoded
• Works on any market (S&P 500, Nasdaq, Crypto, Forex, Stocks)
⚙️ Customization
• Select start and end years
• Toggle BUY and ELECTION lines independently
• Adjustable colors, line styles, and thickness
• Optional labels for clean or annotated charts
• Timezone support (New York / UTC)
🧠 Why it matters
Over the past decades, markets have shown a strong tendency to perform positively in the period leading up to US elections, driven by liquidity expansion, fiscal stimulus, and political incentives.
This indicator helps you:
• Visually validate election-cycle theories
• Backtest long-term investment strategies
• Combine macro timing with technical or Smart Money analysis
• Avoid emotional decision-making during political cycles
