Double wave-trend Oscillator Buy/Sell signals
Dec 1, 2021

The Double wave-trend Oscillator Buy/Sell signals indicator utilizes two Wave Trend Oscillators of different lengths to identify potential bullish entry and bearish exit points based on overbought and oversold conditions. This tool aims to provide actionable trade signals by monitoring the interaction between fast and slow market momentum across various timeframes and asset classes.
Usage
This script displays two oscillator lines and generates background signals to indicate potential trades. A green block signals a bullish entry opportunity, typically occurring when the designated oscillator crosses above the oversold level. A red block signals a potential exit or reversal point, triggered when the oscillator interacts with the overbought level.
The indicator is particularly effective on volatile assets or higher timeframe charts. Users can choose whether the fast or slow oscillator line triggers the buy signal, with the alternative line then acting as the sell trigger. Additionally, users can toggle between "One signal mode" for a simplified view or standard mode to see continuous momentum fluctuations.
Details
The script is based on the Wave Trend Oscillator concept, which calculates the EMA of price and its deviation to determine momentum. By employing two separate calculation lengths (Fast and Slow), the tool allows for a multi-layered analysis of trend strength.
- Fast Wave Trend: Captures short-term momentum shifts and is more sensitive to immediate price movements.
- Slow Wave Trend: Identifies broader market trends and filters out minor price noise.
- Signal Logic: The script tracks whether the user is currently in a "bought" or "sold" state to refine signal frequency, especially when "One signal mode" is enabled.
Settings
Oscillator Configuration
- Channel Length Fast/Slow: Determines the period used for the initial EMA and deviation calculations for both oscillators.
- Average Length Fast/Slow: Adjusts the smoothing period for the final oscillator lines.
Signal Logic
- Over Bought/Sold Level: Defines the horizontal thresholds (default 70 and -70) where signals are triggered.
- FastBuy/SlowBuy: When enabled, the fast oscillator is used for buy signals. When disabled, the slow oscillator takes priority for entries.
- Sell Crossover/Crossunder: Determines if sell signals trigger immediately upon entering the overbought zone (crossover) or when falling back below it (crossunder).
- One signal mode: Restricts the display to one clear entry/exit block at a time, hiding the standard oscillator lines for a cleaner interface.
Automation
- Bot Automation Messages: Custom text fields to define the message sent via alerts for integration with third-party trading bots.
FAQ
How do I use the Double wave-trend Oscillator Buy/Sell signals?
Apply the indicator to your chart and look for green background blocks for entries and red background blocks for exits. It is recommended to adjust the overbought and oversold levels based on the specific asset's historical volatility.
Can this indicator be used for shorting?
While primarily described for bullish trades, the sell signals (red blocks) can optionally be interpreted as potential trend reversals or bearish entry points depending on your strategy.
