[blackcat] L2 Ehlers Hilbert Transformer IndicatorLevel: 2
Background
John F. Ehlers introuced Hilbert Transformer Indicator in his "Cycle Analytics for Traders" chapter 14 on 2013.
Function
Basically, the real component moves with the general direction of the prices, and the imaginary component is a predictive indicator for the real component in the same sense that a cosine wave is a predictor of a sine wave. Although the default LPPeriod input is set to 20 bars in an attempt to smooth the indicator the imaginary component is still too erratic to be useful.
Key Signal
Imag --> Quadrature phase output signal
Real --> In-phase output signal
Pros and Cons
100% John F. Ehlers definition translation, even variable names are the same. This help readers who would like to use pine to read his book.

Readme
In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.
The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.
Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.
Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.
Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.
Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.
Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.

True Momentum Oscillator"TMO calculates momentum using the delta of price. Giving a much better picture of trend, trend reversals and divergence than momentum oscillators using price". This is comparable to the WaveTrend Oscillator, gives more or less better or worse signals depending on the time frame and markets. This is a free and open source indicator found in many platforms, now ported to TV.
This indicator uses the closing and opening of the price in a way that reminds me of the Qstick indicator but it seems different. It's an oscillator with overbought and oversold zones and crossovers for entry and exits. I included the option of changing the moving averages from the standard exponential types used in its 3 functions to calculate the main and signal lines just in case the settings need to be changed further or if anyone wants to experiment to find better settings on top of just changing the lengths for each length type. I added dots for when the Main line crosses the Signal line. The Main line is darkened in case anyone needs to see it better.
Buy/Sell IndicatorBased on logic from many top contributors here, the script utilizes LazyBear's WaveTrend Oscillator Indicator along with custom code to plot a few key components for daily trading;
Boundaries for entry and exit points which are based on a 6-day trend in OPEN/HIGH and OPEN/LOW prices.
Daily HIGH and LOW points to establish a good view of stock's movements
Entry and exit points with confidence levels. These can be treated as entry points for short to medium term investments
Entry points come in the colours of White and Lime, where white is slightly confident and lime is extremely confident
Exit points come in the colours of Maroon, and Red, where maroon is slightly confident and red is extremely confident
Each Entry and Exit point also comes without text, or with a M or H above it, where M indicates medium confidence on the point and an O indicates overconfidence.
Use Case:
The best possible use case is to enter a trade on a LIME point with O text, this means that is an overconfident entry point.
The trade should be exited on a RED point with O text, this means that is an overconfident exit point.
But you can do with the indicators as you please.
In addition to LazyBear's code, the following existing models and indicators are taken into account:
RSI of closing price over a period of 25
EMA of RSI

BTC and ETH Long strategy - version 1I will start with a small introduction about myself. I'm now trading cryto currencies manually for almost 2 years. I decided to start after watching a documentary on the TV showing people who made big money during the Bitcoin pump which happened at the end of 2017.
The next day, I asked myself "Why should I not give it a try and learn how to trade".
This was in February 2018 and the price of Bitcoin was around 11500USD.
I didn't know how to trade. In fact, I didn't know the trading industry at all.
So, my first step into trading was to open an account with a broken. Then I directly bought 200$ worst of BTC . At that time, I saw the graph and thought "This can only go back in the upward direction!" :)
I didn't know anything about Stop loss, Take profit and Risk management.
Today, almost 2 years after, I think that I know how to trade and can also confirm that I still hold this bag of 200$ of bitcoin from 2018 :)
I did spend the 2 last years to learn technical analysis , risk management and leverage trading.
Today (14/05/2020), I know what I'm doing and I'm happy to see that the 2 last years have been positive in terms of gains. Of course, I did not make crazy money with my saving but at least I made more than if I would have kept it in my bank account.
Even if I like trading, I have a full time job which requires my full energy and lots of focus, so, the biggest problem I had is that I didn't have enough time to look at the charts.
Also, I realized that sometimes, neither technical analysis , nor fundamentals worked with crypto currency (at least for short time trading). So, as I have a developer background I decided to try to have a look at algo trading.
The goal for me was neither to make complex algos nor to beat the market but just to automate my trading with simple bot catching the big waves.
I then started to take a look at TV pine script and played with it.
I did my first LONG script in February 2020 to Long the BTC Market. It has some limitations but works well enough for me for the time being. Even if the real trades will bring me half of what the back testing shows, this will still be a lot more than what I was used to win during the last 2 years with my manual trading.
So, here we are! Below you will find some details about my first LONG script. I'm happy to share it with you.
Feel free to play with it, give your comments and bring improvements to it.
But please note that it only works fine with the candle size and crypto pair that I have mentioned below. If you use other settings this algo might loose money!
- Crypto pairs : XBTUSD and ETHXBT
- Candle size: 2 Hours
- Indicator used: Volatility , MACD (12, 26, 7), SMA (100), SMA (200), EMA (20)
- Default StopLoss: -1.5%
- Entry in position if: Volatility < 2%
AND MACD moving up
AND AME (20) moving up
AND SMA (100) moving up
AND SMA (200) moving up
AND EMA (20) > SAM (100)
AND SMA (100) > SMA (200)
- Exit the postion if: Stoploss is reached
OR EMA (20) crossUnder SMA (100)
Here is a summary of the results for this script:
XBTUSD : 01/01/2019 --> 14/05/2020 = +107%
ETHXBT : 01/01/2019 --> 14/05/2020 = +39%
ETHUSD : 01/01/2019 --> 14/05/2020 = +112%
It is far away from being perfect. There are still plenty of things which can be done to improve it but I just wanted to share it :) .
Enjoy playing with it....
Squeeze Momentum Indicator [LazyBear] vHMAThis is a remake of the famous LazyBear Indicator, the Squeeze Momentum Indicator.
All i did was take out the SMA's and replace them with HMA's. HMA is a more responsive moving average.
Hull Moving Average.
This is a derivative of John Carter's "TTM Squeeze" volatility indicator, as discussed in his book "Mastering the Trade" (chapter 11).
Black crosses on the midline show that the market just entered a squeeze ( Bollinger Bands are with in Keltner Channel). This signifies low volatility , market preparing itself for an explosive move (up or down). Gray crosses signify "Squeeze release".
Mr.Carter suggests waiting till the first gray after a black cross, and taking a position in the direction of the momentum (for ex., if momentum value is above zero, go long). Exit the position when the momentum changes (increase or decrease --- signified by a color change). My (limited) experience with this shows, an additional indicator like ADX / WaveTrend, is needed to not miss good entry points. Also, Mr.Carter uses simple momentum indicator , while I have used a different method (linreg based) to plot the histogram.

Here is the original version:
Stochastic RibbonA series of highs and lows of different lengths to create a ribbon-like indicator to emulate the stochastic oscillator's top (100), middle (50) and bottom (0). Traders can determine the strength of the support and resistance by the number of converging lines, choose price points and visualise momentum waves.
Inputs:
Theme: multiple colours/themes (theme 2)
Length: high/low length (14)
Start: plot number to start ribbon on (1)
PlotNumber: number of plots to show; maximum 10 per top, middle, bottom (10)
Example:
Length: 14
Start: 5
PlotNumber: 10
Patient Trendfollower (7)(alpha)Patient Trendfollower consists of 21 and 55 EMA, Commodity Channel Index and Supertrend indicator. It confirms a trend and gives you a signal on a pullback. Original creation worked on 1h EURUSD chart.
►Long setup:
• 21 EMA is above 55 EMA, which is above the Supertrend indicator.
• Commodity Channel Index is an oscillator, which prints into the chart if extreme levels are reached. Green is for a level above 100 or below -100, red is above 140 or below -140 and black is above 180 or below -180.
• If 21 EMA > 55EMA > Supertrend and an oversold signal appear, you can buy into the trend.
• When backtesting on 1h EURUSD, profit target 400 pips worked best with a stop-loss below Supertrend's bottom and the size of your spread.
• A picture shows two valid entries.
: This part still malfunctions and shows red dots over some green ones. It is important to disable red ones in the settings to see green ones.
Some more long signals:
Some short signals:
►Backtesting data with default settings and trading only green CCI signals with mentioned risk management strategy:
• 212 closed trades
• 58.96% profitable with average win trade 348 USD and average loss trade 263 USD when only green signals are followed.
• Profit factor 1.903, Sharpee 0.792
• 20 bars is average for all trades, short trades were 18 bars long on average.
With given data, you can see the strategy is profitable by itself. However, original risk management settings do work only on 1h charts of EURUSD and would need to be adjusted for other instruments based on average volatility.
Even though the profitability is low, you can increase your odds by a great margin, if you properly use price action (impulsive and corrective moves, patterns, bar analysis), if you trade when major exchanges are open, you may also use wave analysis such as Elliot Waves or Market Profiles to predict whether the next day might be a trending day. My backtesting program didn't consider these ideas.
Unfortunately, I won't be making backtesting strategy public with it anytime soon, because it still has some parts that do not work. I am ok with that since I understand the code and know what does malfunction and how. Then, there are parts which I am not sure how to fix yet. This is why the indicator is still considered alpha.
In the future when a strategy is published, you will also be able to set your own overbought/oversold values without entering the code itself and probably some other features. But I am not in a hurry for that. You can give me feedback on UX and try to figure out the best setups for other symbols, it might help to improve the automatic testing script when I know what I should achieve. My main point is to make this public for friends who can already be using it on EURUSD at least.
Close doesn't always have to be 400 pips, you might want to close on a logical level such as strong resistance or a trendline too.
Thanks to:
• @everget for providing Supertrend solution.
• Satik FX who hand-tested the system by hand and reported results in this article . He is my main inspiration for creating the complete indicator as one because I want to be able to show and hide it with a single click. My future scripts will also work as a whole strategy each by itself.
• The number in the script's name comes from Satik's numbering. A mentioned article was his seventh shared strategy.
Renko ChartHello All. This is live and non-repainting Renko Charting tool. The tool has it’s own engine and not using integrated function of Trading View.
Renko charts ignore time and focus solely on price changes that meet a minimum requirement. Time is not a factor on Renko chart but as you can see with this script Renko chart created on time chart.
Renko chart provide several advantages, some of them are filtering insignificant price movements and noise, focusing on important price movements and making support/resistance levels much easier to identify.
in the script Renko Trend Line with threshold area is included. and also there is protection from whipsaws, so you can catch big waves with very good entry points. Trend line is calculated by EMA of Renko closing price.
As source Closing price or High/Low can be used. Traditional or ATR can be used for scaling. If ATR is chosen then there is rounding algorithm according to mintick value of the security. For example if mintick value is 0.001 and brick size (ATR/Percentage) is 0.00124 then box size becomes 0.001. And also while using dynamic brick size (ATR), box size changes only when Renko closing price changed.
Renko bar can be seen as area or candle and also optionally bar color changes when Renko trend changed.
Soon other Renko scripts (Renko RSI, Renko Weis Wave, Renko MACD etc) are coming ;)
ENJOY!

Windowed Volume Weighted Moving AverageIntroduction
The concept of windowing was briefly introduced in the Blackman filter post, however windowing is more than just some window functions, and isn't exclusively used in filter design.
Today we will use windowing with the volume weighted moving average, a moving average that weight the price with volume in order to be more reactive when volume is high, that is the moving average is more reactive when the market is more active. The use of windowing in the vwma allow to enhance its performance in the frequency domain which result in a smoother output.
Note that i made a similar indicator long ago, but at that time I was not great at all with math and pinescript in general and the indicator was therefore wrong, i want to remind to the community that i'am not a professional, only an enthusiast, I never claimed to be a master coder and i'am totally open to receive criticism, if I sounded like bragging in the past I apologize, at 20 years old it is still easy to act like a kid, the information contained in my posts is only shared in order to help others but also myself, since sharing is also a way to learn more effectively. That said lets go with the indicator.
Windowing
Windowing consist on applying a window function to a signal, by applying i mostly talk about multiplying, this process is mostly used with windowed sinc filters in order to reduce ripples in the pass/stop band, but can be used with any kind of filters in order to have better frequency domain performance, the only thing we need to do is to multiply the filter weights by a window function.
In order to understand windowing it is useful to visualize this process and understand spectral leakage. Remember that we can describe a signal as the sum of sine/cosine waves of different frequencies, amplitude and phase, leakage is an effect that appear with signals having discontinuities, that is when a signal non periodic.
This figure show a non periodic sine wave of frequency 0.1, a non periodic signal will have is last sample value different from its first sample value, if we where to do its fourier transform we wouldn't end up with a single bin at 0.1 but with more bins, this is spectral leakage, the discontinuities in the signal create additional frequency components. In order to reduce leakage we must make the signal approximately periodic, this is done by making use of window functions.
A window function is symmetric and relatively smooth, all we have to do is to multiply our first non periodic signal with the window function.
We end up with the following windowed signal :
The signal is approximately periodic and leakage has been reduced. Now that we have seen that, it might be useful to see why it is useful in filters.
Remember that the Fourier transform of the filter weights gives us its frequency response, if our weights introduce leakage we end up with ripples, so windowing the filter weights might help reduce the ripples in the frequency response, which result in a smoother filter output.
Volume Weighted Moving Average
A volume weighted moving average is a FIR filter who use volume as filter kernel, therefore the frequency response of this filter always change, it is therefore not wrong to qualify the vwma as an adaptive moving average. Higher volume mean higher weighting of the current closing price value, which therefore produce a more reactive output.
However the smoothness of the moving average is relatively poor.
Windowed Volume Weighted Moving Average
The proposed moving average has a length setting who control the moving average period, and various options that we will describe below. The first option is the type of window, there are many windows, certains more complex than others, here 3 windows are proposed, the famous Blackman window, the Bartlett, and finally the Hanning window, they provide each different level of smoothness. lets compare our moving average with period 100 with a vwma of the same period.
Our moving average in red, and the vwma in blue. As you can see the results are smoother.
The power parameter is used in order to give an even higher weighting to closing prices with high volume, this create a more boxy output. Below is a comparison with a vwma in blue and a powered vwma in red with power = 2 without windowing :
We can then apply a window, here i will choose the Blackman window :
Conclusion
A new moving average based on windowed volume weighting has been proposed. The result are smoother which might therefore reduce whipsaw trades. I wish i could have explained things better, unfortunately windowing isn't something i use much, i wanted to post this moving average earlier this year.
I will be off in France for 1 week, my flight is tomorrow in the morning, therefore i don't think i'll have the possibility to make other posts this year. I want to profit from this occasion to review my year in tradingview.
Many indicators have been posted, some being extremely bad and others really interesting, this year introduced my attempts on estimating the lsma efficiently, the linear channels, an attempt on making lines and remain the first indicator from the v4 i posted if i'am right. Then came the efficient auto-line, who gained some popularity quite fast. Then finally the %G oscillator and the recursive bands where posted, and remain some of the favorites indicators i made. I also wanted to leave this year due to studies, that i totally abandoned, i'am thankful that i chosen to stay.
I also want to express my apologies to any member that i could have offended, i think that i'am not a mean person but i certainly not contest the fact that i'am clumsy, even in my work, however my clumsiness is far greater when it comes to interact with other peoples or a group of peoples, i don't want to hurt anyone, if i made anything that made you feel bad then i'am sincerely sorry, and hope we can start this new year from 0.
Finally i thank the tradingview community for their interest and curiosity, i thank all the great coders who work on making pinescript a better scripting language, i also thank the tradingview staff for their work this year. I wish you all a merry christmas, and an happy new year.
Thanks for reading.

Dominant Cycle Tuned RsiIntroduction
Adaptive technical indicators are importants in a non stationary market, the ability to adapt to a situation can boost the efficiency of your strategy. A lot of methods have been proposed to make technical indicators "smarters" , from the use of variable smoothing constant for exponential smoothing to artificial intelligence.
The dominant cycle tuned rsi depend on the dominant cycle period of the market, such method allow the rsi to return accurate peaks and valleys levels. This indicator is an estimation of the cycle finder tuned rsi proposed by Lars von Thienen published in Decoding the Hidden Market Rhythm/Fine-tuning technical indicators using the dominant market vibration/2010 using the cycle measurement method described by John F.Ehlers in Cybernetic Analysis for Stocks and Futures .
The following section is for information purpose only, it can be technical so you can skip directly to the The Indicator section.
Frequency Estimation and Maximum Entropy Spectral Analysis
“Looks like rain,” said Tom precipitously.
Tom would have been a great weather forecaster, but market patterns are more complex than weather ones. The ability to measure dominant cycles in a complex signal is hard, also a method able to estimate it really fast add even more challenge to the task. First lets talk about the term dominant cycle , signals can be decomposed in a sum of various sine waves of different frequencies and amplitudes, the dominant cycle is considered to be the frequency of the sine wave with the highest amplitude. In general the highest frequencies are those who form the trend (often called fundamentals) , so detrending is used to eliminate those frequencies in order to keep only mid/mid - highs ones.
A lot of methods have been introduced but not that many target market price, Lars von Thienen proposed a method relying on the following processing chain :
Lars von Thienen Method = Input -> Filtering and Detrending -> Discrete Fourier Transform of the result -> Selection using Bartels statistical test -> Output
Thienen said that his method is better than the one proposed by Elhers. The method from Elhers called MESA was originally developed to interpret seismographic information. This method in short involve the estimation of the phase using low amount of information which divided by 360 return the frequency. At first sight there are no relations with the Maximum entropy spectral estimation proposed by Burg J.P. (1967). Maximum Entropy Spectral Analysis. Proceedings of 37th Meeting, Society of Exploration Geophysics, Oklahoma City.
You may also notice that these methods are plotted in the time domain where more classic method such as : power spectrum, spectrogram or FFT are not. The method from Elhers is the one used to tune our rsi.
The Indicator
Our indicator use the dominant cycle frequency to calculate the period of the rsi thus producing an adaptive rsi . When our adaptive rsi cross under 70, price might start a downtrend, else when our adaptive rsi crossover 30, price might start an uptrend. The alpha parameter is a parameter set to be always lower than 1 and greater than 0. Lower values of alpha minimize the number of detected peaks/valleys while higher ones increase the number of those. 0.07 for alpha seems like a great parameter but it can sometimes need to be changed.
The adaptive indicator can also detect small top/bottoms of small periods
Of course the indicator is subject to failures
At the end it is totally dependent of the dominant cycle estimation, which is still a rough method subject to uncertainty.
Conclusion
Tuning your indicator is a great way to make it adapt to the market, but its also a complex way to do so and i'm not that convinced about the complexity/result ratio. The version using chart background will be published separately.
Feel free to tune your indicators with the estimator from elhers and see if it provide a great enhancement :)
Thanks for reading !

Surface Roughness EstimatorIntroduction
Roughness of a signal is often non desired since smooth signals are easier to analyse, its logical to say that anything interacting with rough price is subject to decrease in accuracy/efficiency and can induce non desired effects such as whipsaws. Being able to measure it can give useful information and potentially avoid errors in an analysis.
It is said that roughness appear when a signal have high-frequencies (short wavelengths) components with considerable amplitudes, so its not wrong to say that "estimating roughness" can be derived into "estimating complexity".
Measuring Roughness
There are a lot of way to estimate roughness in a signal, the most well know method being the estimation of fractal dimensions. Here i will use a first order autocorrelation function.
Auto-correlation is defined by the linear relationship between a signal and a delayed version of itself, for exemple if the price goes on the same direction than the price i bars back then the auto-correlation will increase, else decrease. So what this have to do with roughness ? Well when the auto-correlation decrease it means that the dominant frequency is high, and therefore that the signal is rough.
Interpretation Of The Indicator
When the indicator is high it means that price is rough, when its low it indicate that price is smooth. Originally its the inverse way but i found that it was more convenient to do it this way. We can interpret low values of the indicator as a trending market but its not totally true, for example high values dont always indicate that the market is ranging.
Here the comparison with the indicator applied to price (orange) and a moving average (purple)
The average measurement applied to a moving average is way lower than the one using the price, this is because a moving average is smoother than price.
Its also interesting to see that some trend strength estimator like efficiency ratio can treat huge volatility signals as trend as shown below.
Here the efficiency ratio treat this volatile movement as a trending market, our indicator instead indicate that this movement is rough, such indication can avoid situation where price is followed by another huge volatile movement in the opposite direction.
Its important to make the distinction between volatility and trend strength, the trend is defined by low frequencies components of a signal, therefore measuring trend strength can be resumed as measuring the amplitude of such frequencies, but roughness estimation can do a great job as well.
Conclusion
I have showed how to estimate roughness in price and compared how our indicator behaved in comparison with a classic trend strength measurement tool. Filters or any other indicator can be way more efficient if they know how to filter according to a situation, more commonly smoothing more when price is rough and smoothing less when price is smooth. Its good to have a wider view of how market is behaving and not sticking with the binary view of "Trending" and "Ranging" .
I hope you find a use to this script :)

BE-EMA(12,26) (Blue Empire Exponential Moving Average)
Simple EMA where you get a CROSS mark between EMA 12 and EMA 26.
Each time a cross happens, a spot gets created.
If it's cyan, it goes up.
If it's magenta, it goes down.
I'm studying Trading at Blue Empire Academy, if you want to know more send me a PM.
Wave Analysis study the wave's behavior and tries to predict by using trendlines, elliot waves, fibonacci retracements, and EMAs basically.
In this Indicator, It's a confirmation when EMA 12 goes over to confirm the price may go up. and Vice versa.
Hope you like, please share if you think it's useful and comment if you think this can be better.
Thank you again for reading

SMMA Analyses - Buy / Sell signals and close position signals This script combines the usage of the SMMA indicator in order to provide signals for opening and closing trades, either buy or sell signals.
It uses two SMMA , a fast and a slow one, both configurable by the users.
The trigger of Buy and Sell Signals are calculated through the SMMA crosses:
Buy Signals : The fast SMMA crosses over the slow SMMA . They are highlighting by a green area and a "B" label.
Sell Signals : The fast SMMA crosses under the slow SMMA . They are highlighting by a red area and a "S" label
The trigger of Close Buy and Close Sell Signals are calculated through the close price crosses with the fast SMMA:
Close Buy Signals : The fast SMMA crosses under the close price and at the same time the trend is bullish , so the fast SMMA is greater than the slow SMMA . They are highlighted by a lighter green area
Close Sell Signals : The fast SMMA crosses over the close price and at the same time the trend is bearish , so the fast SMMA is lower than the slow SMMA . They are highlighted by a lighter red area
Few important points about the indicator and the produced signals :
This is not intended to be a strategy, but an indicator for analyzing the SMMA conditions. It gives you the triggers depending on the real time analysis of the SMMA and prices, but not being a proper strategy, pay attention about "fake signals" and add always a visual analysis to the provided signals
Following this indicator, the trade positions should be opened only when a cross happens. Either in this case, analyse the chart in order to see if the signals are a "weak" ones, due to "waves" around the SMMA . In these cases, you might wait for the next confirmation signals after the waves, when the trend will be better defined
The close trade signals are provided in order to help to understand when you should close the buy or sell trades. Even in this case, always add a visual analysis to the signals, and pay attention to the support/resistance areas. Sometimes, you can have the close signals in correspondence to support/resistance areas: in these cases wait for the definition of the trend and eventually for the next close trade signals if they will be better defined
Fractal HelperA spinoff from a previous script I published, this configurable indicator also selects highs and lows and then plots a trend line that bounces between them. In addition, it also iterates this up to two more times in a quasi-fractal manner, on larger time scales, and plots them on the same graph.
Of course this will not spit out Elliott waves, but with adjusting, it could aid in discerning one wave from another.
I may experiment with the security function again to get a better, longer L3 plot, although charts are limited in duration anyway.
SB_Wavetrend_OscillatorA take on LazyBear's Wavetrend_Oscillator
The idea is bit modified.
Original Idea:
When the oscillator is above the overbought band (red lines) and crosses down the signal (dotted line), it is usually a good SELL signal. Similarly, when the oscillator crosses above the signal when below the Oversold band (green lines), it is a good BUY signal.
Modified Idea:
Carrying the original idea, if the oscillator crosses the overbought band (red lines) and crosses down the signal (dotted line) twice without crossing the Oversold band (green lines) and crosses above the signal (dotted line), a buy or sell signal will take place when the oscillator crosses the dotted line and the value of oscillator is >0(if sell order is to be placed) and <0(if buy order is to be placed).
For the original idea you can refer to:
Let me know if any refinements could improve the oscillator.
