The Cycle tool is not working properly,

This is working as designed. Each cycle is based on bar count. If you go across an area where there is no data (i.e. when market is closed), the times will get off. You can get around that by turning on Include Columns With No Data in Chart Settings >> Advanced Settings. This setting will insert bars where there is no data, and then your cycles times would match up.

The time expansion/project tools have an option to be time or bar based. The cycle tool currently does not have this option and is bar based only.
