The Wave Strength Oscillator uses a combination of wave strength and momentum to help catch the best entries for reversals and does so using a few methods. I'm currently using the 1h timeframe for BTC but feel free to experiment on different timeframes to see what works best for you. In the description below, I'll go over each signal, how it's derived, and how to use them!
Oversold (Green shaded area) - The oversold indication appears whenever both oscillators are oversold and is usually a good indicator that a reversal to the upside is around the corner (at least for a short period). Be advised these are the weakest of the three signals so I recommend using this signal with other indicators. Overbought (Red shaded area) - The overbought indication appears whenever both oscillators are overbought and is usually a good indicator that a reversal to the downside is around the corner (at least for a short period). Be advised these are the weakest of the three signals so I recommend using this signal with other indicators. Green Diamond - The green diamonds indicate whenever one or both of the oscillators are oversold AND they are both outside of the bollinger bands which is great for catching reversals to the upside (as seen in the chart). These may come two or three at a time so it may be best to wait until they have all printed before entering. Red Diamond - The red diamonds indicate whenever one or both of the oscillators are overbought AND they are both outside of the bollinger bands which is great for catching reversals to the downside (as seen in the chart). These may come two or three at a time so it may be best to wait until they have all printed before entering. Rocket - The rocket symbol occurs whenever BOTH oscillators are oversold and BOTH oscillators are outside of the bollinger bands. This is great for catching reversals to the upside but may come two or three at a time so it may be best to wait until they have all printed before entering. Red Alarm - The red alarm symbol occurs whenever BOTH oscillators are oversold and BOTH oscillators are outside of the bollinger bands. This is great for catching reversals to the downside but may come two or three at a time so it may be best to wait until they have all printed before entering.
Input Options Show Histogram - I also included a Histogram in the indicator to help gauge the level of buys/sell strength but kept it hidden for the default levels (i.e a green diamond with a red histogram bar is usually a good sign a reversal is about to happen to the upside whereas a green diamond with a green histogram bar may indicate a false reversal and there's still more room to the downside until a red bar appears. Always backtest this!) Show Overbought/Oversold Levels - This is if you want to ignore all of the green/red shaded areas and only focus on the diamonds and rocket/alarm signals Wave Overbought/Oversold Levels - Free free to change to value of the overbought/oversold levels to change where the green/red shades areas print Momentum Overbought/Oversold Levels - Free free to change to value of the overbought/oversold levels to change where the green/red shades areas print Histogram Length - This will not change anything with the signals but I included it so you can change the visuals if it helps you Momentum Length - This will change where the signals plot Momentum Signal - This only changes the yellow signal line and nothing else. It's not incorporated into any equation Average Length - This will change where the signals plot
Alerts I've set alerts on this indicator for each icon (Oversold, Overbought, Green Diamond, Red Diamond, Rocket, Red Alarm). I HIGHLY recommend setting the alerts for Candle Close so that you can be sure the signal is confirmed.
You may notice that the indicator can give multiple signals back-to-back or be overbought/oversold for multiple candles. When this happens, it's best to look at other indicators such as the RSI , MFI Pro, etc to nail the best entry and have confluence with your decision. With that said, having multiple signals back-to-back can also be an indication that the move is close to happening. This indicator works with crypto and stocks as well.
If you have any questions or would like to purchase this indicator, please comment below or PM me. I also made a video tutorial for the indicator on my Youtube channel (link is next to my profile pic)
Be advised past performance is not indicative of future returns. Backtest EVERY timeframe and NEVER blindly take signals! Also, never invest more than you can afford to lose.
