Even-better Sinewave

Even-better Sinewave reproduces the published even-better sinewave and adds an explicit regime layer on top of its most useful quirk. Price is high-pass filtered so components slower than the duration drop out, a SuperSmoother strips the fast noise, and a three-bar average of the wave is divided by the square root of its average power, confining the output near -1 to +1. While a market cycles, the wave undulates between the bounds; when trend dominates, it pins near an extreme, and that saturation is what the regime layer reads.

How to Trade the Even-better Sinewave?

• Zero crosses: the swing-timing events while the market is cycling, alerted in both directions, with optional circle markers.
• Saturation: the wave holding at or beyond the Saturation Level for the required bars confirms an established trend; the pane tints until the wave leaves the extreme.
• Regime filter: saturated stretches argue for trend tactics and against fading the wave's extremes; clean undulation argues the reverse. Saturation ending has its own alert pair.

Even-better Sinewave Settings

• Source (default close): series the wave is computed on, the close in the published listing.
• Duration (default 40): wavelength separating trend from cycle content. Longer classifies more movement as cycle, shorter pushes more into the saturated trend reading.
• Smoothing Period (default 10): SuperSmoother critical period, matching the published setting.
• Show Zero Cross Markers (default off): the alerts fire either way.
• Saturation Level (default 0.9): absolute reading at which the wave counts as pinned, drawn as dashed levels.
• Saturation Bars (default 5): consecutive pinned bars before a trend is confirmed.
• Highlight Trend Regime (default on): the background shading while saturation holds.
