The WaveTrend With Divs & RSI(STOCH) Divs indicator provides a multi-dimensional analysis of market conditions by integrating WaveTrend, Money Flow Index (MFI), RSI, and Stochastic RSI into a unified diagnostic tool. It identifies both regular and hidden divergences across these indicators to signal potential market reversals and trend continuations.

Usage

The indicator can be used to identify high-probability reversal zones by looking for convergence between multiple oscillators. For example, a bullish scenario might involve the RSI showing a regular bullish divergence while the WaveTrend generates a buy signal from an oversold level, supported by an increasing Money Flow Index.

Conversely, a bearish scenario is often signaled when the RSI displays a bearish divergence at the same time the WaveTrend crosses down from an overbought level, accompanied by decreasing volume pressure. Regular divergences indicate potential reversals, while hidden divergences (where price makes a higher low but the indicator makes a lower low) suggest trend continuation.

Details

This tool functions through the synergy of its core components:

  • WaveTrend: Smoothes price data to identify overbought/oversold levels and mean reversion points.
  • RSI & Stochastic RSI: Momentum oscillators that track the speed of price movements and the RSI's position within its recent range.
  • Money Flow Index (MFI): Adds a volume-weighted dimension to validate whether momentum shifts are backed by actual buying or selling pressure.

The script uses advanced pivot-point detection to identify divergences, allowing for precise tracking of peaks and troughs across both price and indicator data.

FAQ

How do I interpret "Hidden" vs "Regular" divergences?

Regular divergences typically signal a potential trend reversal (e.g., price makes a lower low but the indicator makes a higher low). Hidden divergences typically signal trend continuation (e.g., price makes a higher low but the indicator makes a lower low).

Can I set alerts for specific signals?

Yes, the indicator includes a comprehensive alert system. You can set alerts for regular/hidden divergences, WaveTrend buy/sell crosses, or overbought/oversold penetrations through the TradingView alert menu.
