The Price Action Trading System v0.3 with modifications indicator is a comprehensive technical analysis tool that integrates multiple momentum and trend-following oscillators to identify high-probability price action setups. It combines elements of the Commodity Channel Index (CCI), Average Directional Index (ADX), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and WaveTrend Oscillator to provide a multi-layered view of market conditions directly on the chart.

Usage

The indicator uses a variety of visual cues to signal market states and potential entries:

  • Trend Direction: The background color is determined by the MACD; green indicates a positive MACD (bullish), while red indicates a negative MACD (bearish).
  • Momentum Overlays: Green crosses at the top of the chart appear when +DI > -DI and ADX > 20. Red crosses appear when -DI > +DI and ADX > 20.
  • Strong Trends: Upward green arrows at the bottom of the chart signify an increasing ADX slope during a bullish DI configuration, while downward red arrows signify the same for a bearish configuration.
  • WaveTrend Signals: Green diamonds above the chart suggest potential buy opportunities when the WaveTrend oscillator is below -45 and rising. Red diamonds appear below the chart for potential sell opportunities when the oscillator is above 50 and falling.
  • Potential Reversals: Green flags (top) and red flags (bottom) indicate significant WaveTrend slope changes that haven't yet reached extreme threshold levels.
  • CCI Price Action: Olive and red triangles represent CCI-based setups filtered by RSI and MACD confirmation.

FAQ
