WaveTrend Divergences, Candle Colouring and TP Signal [LuciTech]WaveTrend is a momentum-based oscillator designed to track trend strength, detect divergences, and highlight potential take-profit zones using Bollinger Bands. It provides a clear visualization of market conditions to help traders identify trend shifts and exhaustion points.
The WaveTrend Oscillator consists of a smoothed momentum line (WT Line) and a signal line, which work together to indicate trend direction and possible reversals. When the WT Line crosses above the signal line, it suggests bullish momentum, while crossing below signals bearish momentum.
Candle colouring changes dynamically based on WaveTrend crossovers. If the WT Line crosses above the signal line, candles turn bullish. If the WT Line crosses below the signal line, candles turn bearish. This provides an immediate visual cue for trend direction.
Divergence Detection identifies when price action contradicts the WaveTrend movement.
Bullish Divergence appears when price makes a lower low, but the WT Line forms a higher low, suggesting weakening bearish pressure.
Bearish Divergence appears when price makes a higher high, but the WT Line forms a lower high, indicating weakening bullish pressure.
Plus (+) Divergences are stronger signals that occur when the first pivot of the divergence happens at an extreme levelโabove +60 for bearish divergence or below -60 for bullish divergence. These levels suggest the market is overbought or oversold, making the divergence more significant.
Bollinger Band Signals highlight potential take-profit zones by detecting when the WT Line moves beyond its upper or lower Bollinger Band.
If the WT Line crosses above the upper band, it signals stretched bullish momentum, suggesting a possible pullback or reversal.
If the WT Line crosses below the lower band, it indicates stretched bearish momentum, warning of a potential bounce.
How It Works
The WaveTrend momentum calculation is based on an EMA-smoothed moving average to filter out noise and provide a more reliable trend indication.
The WT Line (momentum line) fluctuates based on market momentum.
The signal line smooths out the WT Line to help identify trend shifts.
When the WT Line crosses above the signal line, it suggests buying pressure, and when it crosses below, it indicates selling pressure.
Divergences are detected by comparing pivot highs and lows in price with pivot highs and lows in the WT Line.
A pivot forms when a local high or low is confirmed after a certain number of bars.
The indicator tracks whether price action and the WT Line are making opposite movements.
If a divergence occurs and the first pivot was beyond ยฑ60, it is marked as a Plus Divergence, making it a stronger reversal signal.
Bollinger Bands are applied directly to the WT Line instead of price, identifying when the WT Line moves outside its volatility range. This helps traders recognize when momentum is overstretched and a potential reversal or retracement is likely.
Settings
Channel Length (default: 8) controls the period used to calculate the WT Line.
Average Length (default: 16) smooths the WT Line for better trend detection.
Divergences (on/off) enables or disables divergence plotting.
Candle colouring (on/off) applies or removes trend-based candle colour changes.
Bollinger Band Signals (on/off) toggles take-profit signals when the WT Line crosses the bands.
Bullish/Bearish colours allow customization of divergence and signal colours.
Interpretation
The WaveTrend Oscillator helps traders assess market momentum and trend strength.
Crossovers between the WT Line and signal line indicate potential trend reversals.
Divergences warn of weakening momentum and possible reversals, with Plus Divergences acting as stronger signals.
Bollinger Band Crosses highlight areas where momentum is overstretched, signaling potential profit-taking opportunities.

WaveTrend 4h/24mWaveTrend 4h/24m is a trading tool based on two WaveTrend timeframes.
For this script the WaveTrend calculations made by LazyBear were used. WaveTrend is a widely used indicator for finding direction of an asset.
The strategy is developed by Youtuber Jayson Casper. The main strategy on the 4 hour and 24 minute timeframes, this will be the default timeframes. Timeframes can be adjusted in the indicator interface.
With Jaysons' we wait for both timeframes to have last printed a green dot for longs, and both timeframes to have last printed a red dot for shorts. When this occurs a green diamond will be printed for longs, a red diamond for shorts.
Make sure to always use the chart from the smallest timeframe you're using, so by defaults use the 24 minute chart.
Features of the indicator:
- WaveTrend Timeframe 1 (Blue/Lightblue wave).
- WaveTrend Timeframe 2 (Blue/Purple line with filled background between the lines).
- VWAP (Yellow wave which is turned off by default)
- Green/Red Diamonds
What to look for?
This script is all about the Green and Red Diamonds.
A Green diamond will be printed when on both the 4 hour and 24 minute timeframe the last printed dot was a green dot.
A Red diamond will be printed when on both the 4 hour and 24 minute timeframe the last printed dot was a red dot.
What are the Green and Red Diamonds based on?
When both VWAP timeframes are ABOVE 0, a green diamond will be printed. This is equivalent to the last dot on both WaveTrend timeframes being a green dot.
When both VWAP timeframes are BELOW 0, a red diamond will be printed. This is equivalent to the last dot on both WaveTrend timeframes being a red dot.

WaveTrend With Divs & RSI(STOCH) Divs by WeloTradesWaveTrend with Divergences & RSI(STOCH) Divergences by WeloTrades
Overview
The "WaveTrend With Divergences & RSI(STOCH) Divergences" is an advanced Pine Scriptโข indicator designed for TradingView, offering a multi-dimensional analysis of market conditions. This script integrates several technical indicatorsโWaveTrend, Money Flow Index (MFI), RSI, and Stochastic RSIโinto a cohesive tool that identifies both regular and hidden divergences across these indicators. These divergences can indicate potential market reversals and provide critical trading opportunities.
This indicator is not just a simple combination of popular tools; it offers extensive customization options, organized data presentation, and valuable trading signals that are easy to interpret. Whether you're a day trader or a long-term investor, this script enhances your ability to make informed decisions.
Originality and Usefulness
The originality of this script lies in its integration and the synergy it creates among the indicators used. Rather than merely combining multiple indicators, this script allows them to work together, enhancing each other's strengths. For example, by identifying divergences across WaveTrend, RSI, and Stochastic RSI simultaneously, the script provides multiple layers of confirmation, which reduces the likelihood of false signals and increases the reliability of trading signals.
The usefulness of this script is apparent in its ability to offer a consolidated view of market dynamics. It not only simplifies the analytical process by combining different indicators but also provides deeper insights through its divergence detection features. This comprehensive approach is designed to help traders identify potential market reversals, confirm trends, and ultimately make more informed trading decisions.
How the Components Work Together
1. Cross-Validation of Signals
WaveTrend: This indicator is primarily used to identify overbought and oversold conditions, as well as potential buy and sell signals. WaveTrend's ability to smooth price data and reduce noise makes it a reliable tool for identifying trend reversals.
RSI & Stochastic RSI: These momentum oscillators are used to measure the speed and change of price movements. While RSI identifies general overbought and oversold conditions, Stochastic RSI offers a more granular view by tracking the RSIโs level relative to its high-low range over a period of time. When these indicators align with WaveTrend signals, it adds a layer of confirmation that enhances the reliability of the signals.
Money Flow Index (MFI): This volume-weighted indicator assesses the inflow and outflow of money in an asset, giving insights into buying and selling pressure. By analyzing the MFI alongside WaveTrend and RSI indicators, the script can cross-validate signals, ensuring that buy or sell signals are supported by actual market volume.
Example Bullish scenario:
When a bullish divergence is detected on the RSI and confirmed by a corresponding bullish signal on the WaveTrend, along with an increasing Money Flow Index, the probability of a successful trade setup increases. This cross-validation minimizes the risk of acting on false signals, which might occur when relying on a single indicator.
Example Bearish scenario:
When a bearish divergence is detected on the RSI and confirmed by a corresponding bearish signal on the WaveTrend, along with an decreasing Money Flow Index, the probability of a successful trade setup increases. This cross-validation minimizes the risk of acting on false signals, which might occur when relying on a single indicator.
2. Divergence Detection and Market Reversals
Regular Divergences: Occur when the price action and an indicator (like RSI or WaveTrend) move in opposite directions. Regular bullish divergence signals a potential upward reversal when the price makes a lower low while the indicator makes a higher low. Conversely, regular bearish divergence suggests a downward reversal when the price makes a higher high, but the indicator makes a lower high.
Hidden Divergences: These occur when the price action and indicator move in the same direction, but with different momentum. Hidden bullish divergence suggests the continuation of an uptrend, while hidden bearish divergence suggests the continuation of a downtrend. By detecting these divergences across multiple indicators, the script identifies potential trend reversals or continuations with greater accuracy.
Example: The script might detect a regular bullish divergence on the WaveTrend while simultaneously identifying a hidden bullish divergence on the RSI. This combination suggests that while a trend reversal is possible, the overall market sentiment remains bullish, providing a nuanced view of the market.
A Regular Bullish Divergence Example:
A Hidden Bullish Divergence Example:
A Regular Bearish Divergence Example:
A Hidden Bearish Divergence Example:
3. Trend Strength and Sentiment Analysis
WaveTrend: Measures the strength and direction of the trend. By identifying the extremes of market sentiment (overbought and oversold levels), WaveTrend provides early signals for potential reversals.
Money Flow Index (MFI): Assesses the underlying sentiment by analyzing the flow of money. A rising MFI during an uptrend confirms strong buying pressure, while a falling MFI during a downtrend confirms selling pressure. This helps traders assess whether a trend is likely to continue or reverse.
RSI & Stochastic RSI: Offer a momentum-based perspective on the trendโs strength. High RSI or Stochastic RSI values indicate that the asset may be overbought, suggesting a potential reversal. Conversely, low values indicate oversold conditions, signaling a possible upward reversal.
Example:
During a strong uptrend, the WaveTrend & RSI's might signal overbought conditions, suggesting caution. If the MFI also shows decreasing buying pressure and the RSI reaches extreme levels, these indicators together suggest that the trend might be weakening, and a reversal could be imminent.
Example:
During a strong downtrend, the WaveTrend & RSI's might signal oversold conditions, suggesting caution. If the MFI also shows increasing buying pressure and the RSI reaches extreme levels, these indicators together suggest that the trend might be weakening, and a reversal could be imminent.
Conclusion
The "WaveTrend With Divergences & RSI(STOCH) Divergences" script offers a powerful, integrated approach to technical analysis by combining trend, momentum, and sentiment indicators into a single tool. Its unique value lies in the cross-validation of signals, the ability to detect divergences, and the comprehensive view it provides of market conditions. By offering traders multiple layers of analysis and customization options, this script is designed to enhance trading decisions, reduce false signals, and provide clearer insights into market dynamics.

Display of RSI & Stochastic Overbought & Oversold Settings:
RSI & Stochastic Overbought & Oversold Levels Explanation
The Overbought (OB) and Oversold (OS) levels for RSI and Stochastic RSI indicators are key thresholds that help traders identify potential reversal points in the market. These levels are used to determine when an asset is likely overbought or oversold, which can signal a potential trend reversal.
RSI & Stochastic Overbought & Oversold Input Settings:
RSI & Stochastic Level 1 Overbought (OB) & Oversold (OS): Default: OB Level = 170, OS Level = 130
What it is: The first set of thresholds for determining overbought and oversold conditions for both RSI and Stochastic RSI indicators.
What it does: When the RSI or Stochastic RSI crosses above the overbought level, it suggests that the asset might be overbought, potentially signaling a sell opportunity. Conversely, when these indicators drop below the oversold level, it suggests the asset might be oversold, potentially signaling a buy opportunity.
Example: If the RSI crosses above 170, traders might look for signs of a potential trend reversal to the downside, while a cross below 130 might indicate a reversal to the upside.
RSI & Stochastic Level 2 Overbought (OB) & Oversold (OS): Default: OB Level = 180, OS Level = 120
What it is: The second set of thresholds for determining overbought and oversold conditions for both RSI and Stochastic RSI indicators.
What it does: These levels provide an additional set of reference points, allowing traders to differentiate between varying degrees of overbought and oversold conditions, potentially leading to more refined trading decisions.
Example: When the RSI crosses above 180, it might indicate an extreme overbought condition, which could be a stronger signal for a sell, while a cross below 120 might indicate an extreme oversold condition, which could be a stronger signal for a buy.
RSI & Stochastic Overbought (OB) Band Customization:
OB Level 1: Width, Style, and Color:
What it is: Customization options for the visual appearance of the first overbought band on the chart.
What it does: Allows you to set the line width, style (solid, dotted, dashed), and color for the first overbought band, enhancing its visibility on the chart.

Divergences occur when the price moves in the opposite direction to the RSI, potentially signaling a trend reversal. These settings help refine the accuracy of divergence detection by adjusting the lookback period and range. ( NOTE: This setting only imply to the RSI. This doesn't effect the STOCHASTIC RSI. )
RSI Divergence Lookback Input Settings:
Lookback Left: Default: 10
What it is: The number of bars to look back from the current bar to detect a potential divergence.
What it does: Defines the left-side lookback period for identifying pivot points in the RSI, which are used to spot divergences. A longer lookback period may capture more significant trends but could also miss shorter-term divergences.
Example: A setting of 10 bars means the script will consider pivot points up to 10 bars before the current bar to check for divergence patterns.
Lookback Right: Default: 1
What it is: The number of bars to look forward from the current bar to complete the divergence pattern.
What it does: Defines the right-side lookback period for confirming a potential divergence. This setting helps ensure that the identified divergence is valid by allowing the script to check subsequent bars for confirmation.
Example: A setting of 1 bar means the script will look at the next bar to confirm the divergence pattern, ensuring that the signal is reliable.
Lookback Range Min: Default: 5
What it is: The minimum range of bars required to detect a valid divergence.
What it does: Sets a lower bound on the range of bars considered for divergence detection. A lower minimum range might capture more frequent but possibly less significant divergences.
Example: Setting the minimum range to 5 ensures that only divergences spanning at least 5 bars are considered, filtering out very short-term patterns.
Lookback Range Max: Default: 60
What it is: The maximum range of bars within which a divergence can be detected.
What it does: Sets an upper bound on the range of bars considered for divergence detection. A larger maximum range might capture more significant divergences but could also include less relevant long-term patterns.
Example: Setting the maximum range to 60 bars allows the script to detect divergences over a longer timeframe, capturing more extended divergence patterns that could indicate major trend reversals.

Custom Alerts for Divergences and Reversals:
What it is: The script includes customizable alert conditions to notify you of detected divergences or potential reversals based on WaveTrend, RSI, and Stochastic RSI.
What it does: Helps you stay informed of key market movements without constantly monitoring the charts, enabling timely decisions.
Example: Setting an alert for regular bearish divergence on the WaveTrend could notify you of a potential sell opportunity as soon as it is detected.
How to Use Alerts:
Set up custom alerts in TradingView based on these conditions to be notified of potential trading opportunities. Alerts are triggered when the indicator detects conditions that match the selected criteria, such as divergences or potential reversals.
By following the detailed guidelines and examples above, you can effectively use and customize this powerful indicator to suit your trading strategy.
For further understanding and customization, refer to the input settings within the script and adjust them to match your trading style and preferences.
How Components Work Together
Synergy and Cross-Validation: The indicator combines multiple layers of analysis to validate trading signals. For example, a WaveTrend buy signal that coincides with a bullish divergence in RSI and positive fast money flow is likely to be more reliable than any single indicatorโs signal. This cross-validation reduces the likelihood of false signals and enhances decision-making.
Comprehensive Market Analysis: Each component plays a role in analyzing different aspects of the market. WaveTrend focuses on trend strength, Money Flow indicators assess market sentiment, while RSI and Stochastic RSI offer detailed views of price momentum and potential reversals.
Ideal For
Traders who require a reliable, multifaceted tool for detecting market trends and reversals.
Investors seeking a deeper understanding of market dynamics across different timeframes and conditions, whether in forex, equities, or cryptocurrency markets.
This script is designed to provide a comprehensive tool for technical analysis, combining multiple indicators and divergence detection into one versatile and customizable script. It is especially useful for traders who want to monitor various indicators simultaneously and look for convergence or divergence signals across different technical tools.

+ WaveTrend OscillatorI'm guessing most of you are familir with LazyBear's adaptation of the Wavetrend Oscillator; it's one of the most popular indicators on TradingView. I know others have done adaptations of it, but I thought I might as well, because that's kind of a thing I like doing.
In this version I've added a second Wavetrend plot. This is a thing I like to do. The longer plot gives you a longer timeframe momentum bias, and the shorter plot gives you entries and/or exits. Here we have one plot with a lookback period of 55, and another with the default set to 6 (change this to 14 if you think you might prefer something slower and that will plot similarly to the default RSI settings). With the traditional Wavetrend Oscillator there is a simple moving average on the WTO that is to help provide entries and exits. I've done away with this as there are already two plots, and I felt more would just clutter the indicator. Instead of plotting the SMA I've plotted the crosses along the bottom and top of the indicator. Also, as is not the case in LazyBear's version, this SMA length is adjustable. By default it is set to 3, which is the default setting on the original indicator.
I've also plotted background colors for when there is what I call a momentum shift. If one or the other oscillators crosses the centerline a colored bar is plotted. By default it is turned on for both WTOs, though in practice you might only want it on for the longer one.
I would say use of the indicator is similar to the original WTO or many other oscillators. Buying oversold and selling overbought, but being mindful of the momentum of the market. If the longer WTO is above the centerline it's best to be looking for dips to the centerline, or for an overbought signal by the faster WTO, and vice versa if the longer WTO is below the centerline. That said, you can also adjust the length of the SMA on the faster WTO to fine tune entries or exits, which is kind of how you would trade LazyBear's version. In this case you have that additional confirmation of market momentum.
You can set colored candles to either of the WTO plots via a dropdown menu.
There are alerts for overbought and oversold situations, centerline crosses, and Wavetrend crosses.
That's about it. Hope you enjoy this particular implementation of LazyBear's well known indicator.
Ah yes, last thing: Original version the source is set to hlc3. I've given you the opportunity to change that, so if you prefer using close you can, or whatever you want.
+ WaveTrend Oscillator OverlayAn overlay version of pertinent signals from my version of LazyBear's Wavetrend Oscillator.
Shows momentum of long period WTO as either background colors or symbols.
Shows continuation and reversal trade signals.
If Secondary WTO is above the center line (momentum is long), then symbols print across the top of the chart when the primary (faster) WTO comes into "oversold," a number associated with a horizontal line on the off-chart indicator. This number is selectable via a drop-down menu. Same thing for bearish momentum.
Conversely, reversal signals are printed along the bottom when conditions are met. Ex: if the Secondary WTO is showing momentum is bullish, then symbols will print along the bottom when the primary WTO is at "overbought" (or whatever number you deem overbought--again, via a similar drop-down menu).
Also, symbols are printed above and below candles for when the moving average of the primary WTO is crossed.
You could use these for taking profits, exiting a trade, or entering a trade.
Includes a moving average that is an average of the 200 EMA, SMA and Kijun.
Alerts.
Enjoy.
//p.s. I recommend using this in conjunction with my "+ Wavetrend Oscillator" at least starting out. Helps to have a visual
//reference when picking reversal and continuation numbers.
WaveTrend 3Dโโ OVERVIEW
WaveTrend 3D (WT3D) is a novel implementation of the famous WaveTrend (WT) indicator and has been completely redesigned from the ground up to address some of the inherent shortcomings associated with the traditional WT algorithm.
โโ BACKGROUND
The WaveTrend (WT) indicator has become a widely popular tool for traders in recent years. WT was first ported to PineScript in 2014 by the user @LazyBear, and since then, it has ascended to become one of the Top 5 most popular scripts on TradingView.
The WT algorithm appears to have origins in a lesser-known proprietary algorithm called Trading Channel Index (TCI), created by AIQ Systems in 1986 as an integral part of their commercial software suite, TradingExpert Pro. The softwareโs reference manual states that โTCI identifies changes in price directionโ and is โan adaptation of Donald R. Lambertโs Commodity Channel Index (CCI)โ, which was introduced to the world six years earlier in 1980. Interestingly, a vestige of this early beginning can still be seen in the source code of LazyBearโs script, where the final EMA calculation is stored in an intermediate variable called โtciโ in the code.
โโ IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
WaveTrend 3D is an alternative implementation of WaveTrend that directly addresses some of the known shortcomings of the indicator, including its unbounded extremes, susceptibility to whipsaw, and lack of insight into other timeframes.
In the canonical WT approach, an exponential moving average (EMA) for a given lookback window is used to assess the variability between price and two other EMAs relative to a second lookback window. Since the difference between the average price and its associated EMA is essentially unbounded, an arbitrary scaling factor of 0.015 is typically applied as a crude form of rescaling but still fails to capture 20-30% of values between the range of -100 to 100. Additionally, the trigger signal for the final EMA (i.e., TCI) crossover-based oscillator is a four-bar simple moving average (SMA), which further contributes to the net lag accumulated by the consecutive EMA calculations in the previous steps.
The core idea behind WT3D is to replace the EMA-based crossover system with modern Digital Signal Processing techniques. By assuming that price action adheres approximately to a Gaussian distribution, it is possible to sidestep the scaling nightmare associated with unbounded price differentials of the original WaveTrend method by focusing instead on the alteration of the underlying Probability Distribution Function (PDF) of the input series. Furthermore, using a signal processing filter such as a Butterworth Filter, we can eliminate the need for consecutive exponential moving averages along with the associated lag they bring.
Ideally, it is convenient to have the resulting probability distribution oscillate between the values of -1 and 1, with the zero line serving as a median. With this objective in mind, it is possible to borrow a common technique from the field of Machine Learning that uses a sigmoid-like activation function to transform our data set of interest. One such function is the hyperbolic tangent function (tanh), which is often used as an activation function in the hidden layers of neural networks due to its unique property of ensuring the values stay between -1 and 1. By taking the first-order derivative of our input series and normalizing it using the quadratic mean, the tanh function performs a high-quality redistribution of the input signal into the desired range of -1 to 1. Finally, using a dual-pole filter such as the Butterworth Filter popularized by John Ehlers, excessive market noise can be filtered out, leaving behind a crisp moving average with minimal lag.
Furthermore, WT3D expands upon the original functionality of WT by providing:
First-class support for multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis
Kernel-based regression for trend reversal confirmation
Various options for signal smoothing and transformation
A unique mode for visualizing an input series as a symmetrical, three-dimensional waveform useful for pattern identification and cycle-related analysis

โโ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
@LazyBear - For authoring the original WaveTrend port on TradingView
@PineCoders - For the beautiful color gradient framework used in this indicator
@veryfid - For the inspiration of using mirrored signals for cycle analysis and using multiple lookback windows as proxies for other timeframes
WaveTrend MultiEMAThis is a modification of LazyBear's WaveTrend. The SMA trend has been removed and a shorter time frame EMA has been added in black. The idea is to buy when the shorter time frame starts to curl up and the longer time frame, green, has started to either flatten out or curl up too. Sell when the shorter time frame has started down and green has either flattened or bottomed out as well. The black line will generate some noise so the key is to use the two in combination. My final goal would be to have the green line looking at daily candles and the black line looking at a 2 or 4 hour candle, but I haven't figured out how to do that.

Wavetrend in Dynamic Zones with Kumo Implied VolatilityI was asked to do one of those, so here we go...
As always free and open source as it should be. Do not pay for such indicators!
A WaveTrend Indicator or also widely known as "Market Cipher" is an Indicator that is based on Moving Averages, therefore its an "lagging indicator". Lagging indicators are best used in combination with leading indicators. In this script the "leading indicator" component are Daily, Weekly or Monthly Pivots . These Pivots can be used as dynamic Support and Resistance , Stoploss, Take Profit etc.
This indicator combination is best used in larger timeframes. For lower timeframes you might need to change settings to your liking.
The general Wavetrend settings are the same that are used in Market Cipher, Market Liberator and such popular indicators.
What are these circles?
-These are the WaveTrend Divergences. Red for Regular-Bearish. Orange for Hidden-Bearish. Green for Regular-Bullish. Aqua for Hidden-Bullish.
What are these white, orange and aqua triangles?
-These are the WaveTrend Pivots. A Pivot counter was added. Every time a pivot is lower than the previous one, an orange triangle is printed, every time a pivot is higher than the previous one an aqua triangle is printed. That mimics a very common way Wavetrend is being used for trading when using those other paid Wavetrend indicators.
What are these Orange and Aqua Zones?
-These are Dynamic Zones based on the indicator itself, they offer more information than static zones. Of course static lines are also included and can be adjusted.
What are the lines between the waves?
-This is a Kumo Cloud Implied Volatility indicator. It is color coded and can be used to indicate if a major market move/bottom/top happened.
What are those numbers on the right?
-The first number is a Bollinger Band indicator that shows if said Bollinger Band is in a state of Oversold/Overbought, the second number is the actual Bollinger Band Width that indicates if the Bollinger Band squeezes, normally that happens right before the market makes an explosive move.
Please keep in mind that this indicator is a tool and not a strategy, do not blindly trade signals, do your own research first! Use this indicator in conjunction with other indicators to get multiple confirmations.
WaveTrend Oscillator + Divergence + Direction Detection +AlertsMake this version of the famous WaveTrend indicator has the following characteristics:
- WaveTrend direction detection
- Customizable overbought and oversold level (set by default just like the original version)
- Possibility to modify the length of the channel (set by default same as the original version)
- Possibility of modifying mobile period (set by default same as the original version)
- Show ONLY overbought sales.
- Show all sales.
- Show ONLY purchases in oversold.
- Show all purchases.
- See histogram.
- See half signal.
- Paint Bars.
- Modification of colors.
Alerts:
The indicator has the following alerts:
- Sales in oversold
- All Sales
- Purchases in oversold
- All Purchases
- Purchases / Overbought sales / Sales
- All Sales / Purchases
- Change WT Direction
NOTE: This single indicator should not be taken as a trading strategy is only a tool for the trader that gives a sense of depth market and potential opportunities for purchase / sale which must be evaluated in the context generally used this indicator to look for positions in areas of overbought / sell, also for detecting differences, other aspects such as the direction of Wavetrend, levels, histogram, etc, also provide useful information.
Release Notes: Add a field to change reaction and color change direction WT, is set to 1 as fast (default), better greater number address filter but is slower.
Release Notes: Add a Hidden Divergences detector and Regulars (bulls and the bears), from setup can activate them, also can turn off the labels and leave only the lines, configure it to your liking.

WaveTrend Oscillator (Dark Mode) [Krypt]My WaveTrend Oscillator indicator optimized for dark backgrounds. The light mode is available here:
WaveTrend Oscillator v2 [Aspenforest]This is your regular WaveTrend Oscillator, which was originally scripted by LazyBear, but I updated the source code to Pine Script version 4, refactored the logic, and made the indicator more aesthetically pleasing.
WaveTrend [LazyBear] vX by DGTDGT interpreted version of LazyBear's WaveTrend, visualizing on Price Chart
Original Author : LazyBear
Crosses above or below threshold are emphasized with bigger labels
- crosses above threshold : probable short indications with a bigger label and relativly small label for probable long indications
- crosses below threshold : probable long indications with a bigger label and relativly small label for probable short indications
All rest crosses within threshold boundaries with relatively small labels for both long and short probable indications
WaveTrend Oscillator w/ Short/Long/Close Alerts - WIPHigh TFs work best, but it works on any TF. I plan to continue releasing updates to it to improve overall form and function. Green Circles are Long Alerts, Red Circles are Short Alerts. Blue and Yellow Circles are Close Position Alerts. First Blue Circle After Red Circle would be Short Exit. First Yellow Circle After Green Circle would be Long Exit.
Original script was based on Lazybear Indicator-WaveTrend-Oscillator-WT Script. I have added and modified some code to my personal liking.
APEX - WaveTrend [v1]WaveTrend is a smoothed oscillator which enables it to detect true reversals in an extremely accurate manner. The beauty of this indicator is that does not generate signals during choppy sideways markets.
The basic settings are 10 / 3 / 4 these are very aggressive settings, that will generate a lot of signals in all even not so volatile markets. If you need high-quality signals you settings close to 10 / 3 /21. The strongest buy/sell signals are given when the cross occurs above or below the threshold. In the 10 / 3 / 4 you threshold for buy should be around -90 values. If you use the very smoothed variant the threshold will be around -45 to -50 values.
This indicator will be first available in APEX v1 currently being beta tested.
WaveTrend Oscillator [Krypt]This is similar to regular WaveTrend Oscillator except:
- replaces hlc3 input with a weighted log formula for better stability/performance on high volatility charts
- zero-centered scaling
- SMA crossovers above and below OB/OS thresholds are marked as buy/sell signals
TradingGroundhog - Strategy & Wavetrend V2#-- Public Strategy - No Repaint - Fractals - Wavetrend --
Here I come with another script, a nice and simple strategy based on fractals and Wavetrends.
#-- Synopsis --
A simple idea, on a small time frame (15 min) we buy when the opening price goes below a Bottom fractals and sell when it goes over a Top fractals, but in order to avoid bad and evil downtrends, we use Wavetrends based on a Daily time frame. From it, Tops and Bottoms are extracted. If the opening price goes above Wavetrend Tops, no trades will be conducted during the day. If the price goes below Wavetrend bottoms, no trades will be executed from 1 to N days, until a new Wavetrend bottom is generated.
I developed the strategy using BTC /EUR 15 MIN BINANCE but it can be applied to many other cryptos, I don't know for forex or others. You can use it for long term and automated trading, I implemented the Wavetrend indicator to do so, or for short term if you have spot a long coming uptrend. Test it, look at its profit and long or short period on your crypto of choice.
#-- Graph reading --
And now, how to read it ?
Wavetrends:
Red Backgrounds are associated to No Trade periods. These periods occur when the price goes below a Wavetrend bottom or above a Wavetrend Top. They are here to limit the loss.
Blue Gradient lines represent the past Tops. For each bar, only the increasing values of the Wavetrend tops are acquired. Going from light to dark blue based on the age of the Tops. Thus, if on line goes from dark to light, this means the price is approaching a previous Wavetrend top. In the opposite, if it darken, thus the price say 'buy buy' and go dropping.
Yellow Gradient lines represent the past Bottoms. They are based on the same principe that the blue lines.
Fractals:
Yellow Flags occur when the opening price goes below a Bottom fractal , it means Buy.
White Flags appear when the opening price goes over a Top fractal , it means Sell.
#-- Parameters --
*** Parameters have been intensively optimized using 10 cryptocurrency markets in order to have potent efficiency for each of them. I would recommend to only change the Can Be touch parameter. For the others, I don't recommend any modifications. The idea behind the script is to be able to switch between markets without having to optimize parameters, less work, easy to target active crypto and therefor limit the risks. ***
Can be touch :
'Combined Smoothness' : The number of open individuals used by the Wavetrend. (6 or 9, often 9 is better but with less volatile crypto it will be 6)
'Filter fractals' : Activate or Disable the filtering fractal operation. If Enable, buy during less risky periods. (Disable is often better)
Can be touch but not necessary :
'VolumeMA' : The Volume corrector used by the fractals
'Extreme window' : The number of price individuals to look for if we want to remove extreme fractals.
Not to touch :
'Limit_candle to look on' : Number of candles to use to compute the Wavetrend Tops and Bottoms.
'Length top bottom drawn' : Size of the lines
'Long Sop Loss (%)' : The minimal difference of price between a Fractal bottom and the opening price to buy.
#-- Time frame --
Should be used with the following time frames depending on the necessity:
1 MIN
3 MIN (Interesting for short term profit, may need some parameter ajustements)
5 MIN
15 MIN (Preferred for long term profit, the script was developed on it)
#-- Last words --
The script can be set up to send Tradingview signals to 3comma just by adding comment = " " in strategy.close_all() and strategy.entry().
Good trades !

# Here are the results from the 1rst of July 2021 with 100% of equity on the BTC /EUR 15 Min and with a capital of 1 000 EUR.
# As I saw, it goes from +20% to more than +100% depending on the selected crypto. Sometimes it's negative but it's quite rare on crypto using the EUR.
Enhanced WaveTrend OscillatorThe Enhanced WaveTrend Oscillator is a modified version of the original WaveTrend. The WaveTrend indicator is a popular technical analysis tool used to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market and generate trading signals. The enhanced version addresses certain limitations of the original indicator and introduces additional features for improved analysis and comparison across assets.
WaveTrend:
The original WaveTrend indicator calculates two lines based on exponential moving averages and their relationship to the asset's price. The first line measures the distance between the asset's price and its EMA, while the second line smooths the first line over a specific period. The result is divided by 0.015 multiplied by the smoothed difference ('d' for reference). The indicator aims to identify overbought and oversold conditions by analyzing the relationship between the two lines.
In the original formula, the rudimentary estimation factor 0.015 times 'd' fails to accomodate for approximately a quarter of the data, preventing the indicator from reaching the traditional stationary levels of +-100. This limitation renders the indicator quantitatively biased, as it relies on the user's subjective adjustment of the levels. The enhanced version replaces this factor with the standard deviation of the asset's price, resulting in improved estimation accuracy and provides a more dynamic and robust outcome, we thereafter multiply the result by 100 to achieve a more traditional oscillation.
Enhancements and Features:
The enhanced version of the WaveTrend indicator addresses several limitations of the original indicator and introduces additional features-
Dynamic Estimation: The original indicator uses an arbitrary estimation factor, while the enhanced version replaces it with the standard deviation of the asset's price. This modification provides a more dynamic and accurate estimation, adapting to the specific price characteristics of each asset.
Stationary Support and Resistance Levels: The enhanced version provides stationary key support and resistance levels that range from -150 to 150. These levels are determined based on the analysis of the indicator's data and encompass more than 95% of the indicator's values. These levels offer important reference points for traders to identify potential price reversals or significant price movements.
Comparison Across Assets: The enhanced version allows for better comparison and analysis across different assets. By incorporating the standard deviation of the asset's price, the indicator provides a more consistent and comparable interpretation of the market conditions across multiple assets.
Upon closer inspection of the modification in the enhanced version, we can observe that the resulting indicator is a smoothed variation of the Z-Score!
f_ewave(src, chlen, avglen) =>
basis = ta.ema(src, chlen)
dev = ta.stdev(src, chlen)
wave = (src - basis) / dev * 100
ta.ema(wave, avglen)
Z-Score Analysis:
The Z-Score is a statistical measurement that quantifies how far a particular data point deviates from the mean in terms of standard deviations. In the enhanced version, the calculation involves determining the basis (mean) and deviation (standard deviation) of the asset's price to calculate its Z-Score, thereafter applying a smoothing technique to generate the final WaveTrend value.
Utility:
The ๐๐ป๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ช๐ง indicator offers traders and investors valuable insights into overbought and oversold conditions in the market. By analyzing the indicator's values and referencing the stationary support and resistance levels, traders can identify potential trend reversals, evaluate market strength, and make better informed analysis.
It is important to note that this indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to confirm trading signals and validate market dynamics.
Credit:
The ๐๐ป๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ช๐ง indicator is a modification of the original WaveTrend Oscillator developed by @LazyBear on TradingView.
Example Charts:
On-chart Wavetrend Divergence with PivotsThis is an OnChart WaveTrend Divergence Indicator with Pivots and Alerts
LazyBears WaveTrend Indicator or also known as "Market Cipher" is an Indicator that is based on Moving Averages, therefore its an "lagging indicator". Lagging indicators are best used in combination with leading indicators. In this script the "leading indicator" component are Daily, Weekly or Monthly Pivots. These Pivots can be used as dynamic Support and Resistance, Stoploss, Take Profit etc.
This indicator combination is best used in larger timeframes. For lower timeframes you might need to change settings to your liking.
What are those circles?
-These are the WaveTrend Divergences. Red for Regular-Bearish. Orange for Hidden-Bearish. Green for Regular-Bullish. Aqua for Hidden-Bullish.
Please keep in mind that this indicator is a tool and not a strategy, do not blindly trade signals, do your own research first! Use this indicator in conjunction with other indicators to get multiple confirmations.
Moving Average with Dynamic Color Gradient (WaveTrend Momentum)Similar scripts exist but I haven't seen one using WaveTrend and I haven't seen one that hand picks evenly divided colors between GREEN-YELLOW-RED.
The green is exact green, the yellow is exact yellow, and the red is exact red.
Not complicated, just useful.
MTF WaveTrend [CryptoSea]The MTF WaveTrend Indicator is a sophisticated tool designed to enhance market analysis through multi-timeframe WaveTrend calculations. This tool is built for traders who seek to identify market momentum and potential reversals with higher accuracy.
In the example below, we can see all the choosen timeframes agree on bearish momentum.
Key Features
Multi-Timeframe WaveTrend Analysis: Tracks WaveTrend values across multiple timeframes to provide a comprehensive view of market momentum.
Customizable Colour Rules: Offers three different colour rules (Traditional, WT1 0 Rule, WT1 & WT2 0 Rule) to suit various trading strategies.
Timeframe Visibility Control: Allows users to enable or disable specific timeframes, providing flexibility in analysis.
Clear Visual Indicators: Uses color-coded squares and labels to clearly display WaveTrend status across different timeframes.
Candle Colouring Option: Includes a setting for neutral candle coloring to enhance chart readability.
This example shows what can happen when all timeframes start alligning with eachother.
How it Works
WaveTrend Calculation: Computes the WaveTrend oscillator by applying a series of exponential moving averages and scaling calculations.
Multi-Timeframe Data Aggregation: Utilizes the `request.security` function to gather and display WaveTrend values from various timeframes without repainting issues.
Conditional Plotting: Displays visual cues only when higher timeframes align with the selected timeframe, ensuring relevant and reliable signals.
Dynamic Colour Rules: Adjusts the indicator colors based on the chosen rule, whether it's a traditional crossover, WT1 crossing zero, or both WT1 & WT2 crossing zero.
Traditional: Colors are determined by the relationship between WT1 and WT2. If WT1 is greater than WT2, it is bullish (bullColour), otherwise bearish (bearColour).
WT1 0 Rule: Colors are based on whether WT1 is above or below zero. WT1 above zero is bullish (bullColour), below zero is bearish (bearColour).
WT1 & WT2 0 Rule: A more complex rule where both WT1 and WT2 need to be above zero for a bullish signal (bullColour) or both below zero for a bearish signal (bearColour). If WT1 and WT2 are not in agreement, a neutral color (neutralColour) is displayed.
This indicator will make sure that the lowest timeframe you can see data from will be the timeframe you are on. This is to avoid false signals as you cannot display 3 x 5 minute candles whilst looking at the 15 minute candle.
Application
Strategic Decision-Making: Assists traders in making informed decisions by providing detailed analysis of WaveTrend movements across different timeframes.
Trend Confirmation: Reinforces trading strategies by confirming potential reversals with multi-timeframe WaveTrend analysis.
Customized Analysis: Adapts to various trading styles with extensive input settings that control the display and sensitivity of WaveTrend data.
The MTF WaveTrend Indicator by is an invaluable addition to a trader's toolkit, offering depth and precision in market trend analysis to navigate complex market conditions effectively.
