PayDay Cycle Tools in WSIO

What this helps you do

This article shows you where to find the PayDay Cycle “building blocks” inside WallStreet.io so you can connect the framework to real data on your charts. You will see how each probability stacking data point maps to a specific tool or view, and how the Doji Screener, Strategies tab, Strategy Builder, and Education workspace all support PayDay Cycle decision making. By the end, you should know exactly where to look in WSIO when you want to check the market context, read today’s candle, confirm momentum, or track Doji-based setups.


How this fits into the PayDay Cycle Framework

In the earlier articles, you learned:

  • What PayDay Cycles are
  • How Heikin-Ashi charts reveal those cycles
  • How Doji candles often mark the beginning of a new PayDay Cycle
  • How probability stacking uses seven data points to strengthen your decisions
  • This guide answers a very practical question:

    “Where do I actually see all of that inside WallStreet.io?”

    Think of this page as your map. It does not teach new strategy rules. It shows you where the information lives so you can run your own checklist quickly.


    Mapping the 7 data points to WSIO tools

    Here is how each probability stacking data point connects to the platform”

    Market context → Charts workspace

    What you are checking:

    Is the overall market helping or fighting this idea?

    Where to look:

    Use the Charts workspace to:

  • Pull up major indexes or sector ETFs
  • Scan their PayDay Cycles on the daily Heikin-Ashi view
  • Decide whether the broader environment is bullish, bearish, or choppy
  • You can think of this as your wind direction. Before you worry about a single stock, you want to know which way the market is leaning.


    Events and earnings → Fundamentals tab

    What you are checking:

    Are there any major events that could shake this stock around?

    Where to look:

    Open the Fundamentals tab for the symbol and:

  • Review upcoming earnings dates
  • Check for recent event markers on the earnings chart
  • Note any nearby report that might add extra volatility
  • If a key report is just ahead, you decide whether to stand aside, reduce size, or treat the trade as a shorter-term swing.


    PayDay Cycle count → Charts + Strategy Builder

    What you are checking:

    Where are you inside the current PayDay Cycle, and how long do cycles usually last for this stock?

    Where to look:

  • On the Charts workspace, set your candles to Heikin-Ashi and visually count the current run of green or red candles. This tells you whether you are early, mid-cycle, or late.
  • In the Strategy Builder, you can backtest PayDay-style rules (using Heikin-Ashi and MACD conditions) to see how long historical cycles have tended to run and what the average path looks like.
  • Strategy Builder does not currently use Doji candles as a condition, which is exactly why the Doji Screener exists. You use the Screener to surface symbols with interesting Dojis, and Strategy Builder to understand how PayDay-style strategies perform on those symbols over time.


    Today’s candle type → Charts workspace

    What you are checking:

    What is today’s Heikin-Ashi candle saying about strength, exhaustion, or indecision?

    Where to look:

    On the Charts workspace, with the symbol set to Heikin-Ashi:

  • Read today’s candle in the context of the current cycle
  • Note whether it is a strong trend candle, a small “pause” candle, or a Doji
  • Watch how the color and wick structure line up with the story you see on the chart
  • This is where your “candle health” skills come into play. Today’s bar either adds confidence to your idea or warns you to slow down.


    MACD trend → Charts + Strategy Builder

    What you are checking:

    Is momentum lining up with the direction of the PayDay Cycle?

    Where to look:

  • On the Charts workspace, add MACD as a study. Watch whether MACD is bullish or bearish, rising or falling, and whether the lines are spreading apart or pinching together.
  • In the Strategy Builder, use MACD as part of your backtest rules to see how combining PayDay Cycles with MACD confirmation would have performed historically.
  • Charts give you the live read. Strategy Builder gives you the “how has this type of setup behaved in the past” insight.


    Technical context and support → Charts workspace

    What you are checking:

    What is the bigger technical picture around this stock?

    Where to look:

    Use the Charts workspace to:

  • Zoom out and see the trend over the last few months
  • Mark support and resistance levels with drawing tools
  • Watch how price behaves around key moving averages
  • This is where you ask whether you are stacking a new PayDay Cycle on top of a bigger uptrend, or trying to push a countertrend idea into strong resistance.


    Seasonality → Seasonality tab

    What you are checking:

    Is the historical tendency for this month or upcoming period helping or hurting your thesis?

    Where to look:

    Open the Seasonality tab for the symbol:

  • Review average returns and batting average by month
  • See whether the current or upcoming month has historically leaned bullish, bearish, or neutral
  • Use this as a secondary confirmation, not the primary driver of the trade
  • Seasonality is a “nice to have” in the stack. It usually does not override a clear PayDay Cycle story, but it can nudge you toward or away from a marginal setup.


    Where the Doji Screener fits into the picture

    The Doji Screener is built specifically to help you work with Doji logic inside the PayDay Cycle framework.

    Since Strategy Builder does not use Dojis as a condition, the Screener fills that gap:

  • It scans the market for Heikin-Ashi Doji candles that often line up with the beginning of new PayDay Cycles.
  • It surfaces those symbols in one place so you do not have to hunt them down chart by chart.
  • With One-Click Doji Alerts, you can set price alerts around the Doji zone for multiple stocks at once, so you can respond when price actually starts to move instead of staring at every chart all day.
  • In practice, you might:

  • Use the Doji Screener to find potential “start of cycle” setups.
  • Flip those tickers into the Charts workspace to check the full PayDay / MACD / support context.
  • If you like what you see, explore related strategies in the Strategies tab or test variations in the Strategy Builder.

  • Strategies, Strategy Builder, and probability stacking

    The Strategies tab and Strategy Builder turn the PayDay Cycle ideas into something you can test and reuse.

  • The Strategies tab lets you explore and subscribe to strategies that are often built from Heikin-Ashi and MACD logic, including those inspired by PayDay Cycle rules. You can review their stats, see how they performed historically, and choose which ones fit your style.
  • The Strategy Builder lets you design or customize your own rules using PayDay-style conditions and then backtest them to see how they would have behaved on different symbols.
  • Together, these tools help you move from “this looks good on today’s chart” to “this kind of setup has a history I am comfortable with.”


    Education workspace and the 90-Day Roadmap

    Finally, the Education workspace and the 90-Day Roadmap programs give you deeper training on how to put all of this together.

  • The 90-Day Roadmap for Swing Traders walks through PayDay Cycles, Heikin-Ashi, MACD, and probability stacking in a structured way, with examples and exercises.
  • The 90-Day Roadmap for Options Traders builds on the same ideas and applies them to options-based strategies.
  • Not every member will have access to these courses, but if you do, they are the place where Micah goes into more detail than we can cover in public reference guides.

    This “PayDay Cycle Tools in WSIO” article is your quick map. The Roadmaps are the full class.


    Putting it all together

    When you combine the framework with the tools, your routine might look like this:

  • Use Charts to read the market and the current PayDay Cycle.
  • Use Fundamentals and Seasonality to check events and historical tendencies.
  • Use Doji Screener and One-Click Doji Alerts to find and track Doji-based starts to new cycles.
  • Use Strategies and Strategy Builder to lean on backtested rules instead of raw instinct.
  • Use the Education workspace and Roadmaps, if available, to deepen your understanding over time.
  • The next step in this section, PayDay Cycle FAQ’s, will answer common questions traders run into as they start combining these tools with the framework.
