Sine Wave TheoryThere are some ideas out there that the market is like a collection of quantum events and that it could all be broken down into sine waves. I created this script to put that to the test.
The idea is simple, I tested 3 different factors that could be put into sine wave form.
1.) Bar Change
2.) Volume Average Change
3.) Coin Flip
For the bar change, I simply allow the sine wave to move upwards or downwards if the bars have changed color in their sequence. For example, if there were 3 red bars and 1 green bar, it would not move the sine wave up or down until the green bar appeared.
For the average volume change, it was the same idea, except that the sine wave could only move up or down if the volume had moved up or below the average value of the length given for calculating the average volume.
Finally, the coin flip simply simulates flipping a coin, and allows the sine wave to move one direction or the other once it has a side that is different from the previous chosen side. For example, heads, heads, heads, tails (once it flipped to tails, this would allow it to move a direction).
The sine wave trading theory that I watched claimed that if you know the correct sine wave # (which is how large the peak is, and/or the sine wave count which is how many peaks and valleys occur) that you can successfully predict future trades. Their claims that the reason it does not look like a perfect sine wave for these events is because there is different amounts of trading going on, thus the timing will be slightly off.
I am posting this to disagree with their ideas. For example, if you select to turn on trading for coin flip and turn off bar change, you will see the coin flip did better on the default settings!
It just so happens that any setting will eventually be good, making all the sine wave variations just completely random if you win or not.
I posted this to demonstrate how silly trading sine waves is. The real trick is using cosine and tangent waves... lol j/k
I hope this helps someone avoid this scam concept.

[blackcat] L2 Ehlers Sine Wave Coupled Eight Planetary CycleLevel: 2
Background
Have you considered that factors outside the Earth will be related to macro market trends? Let’s discuss the relationship between the planetary movement in the Galaxy and the market movement on Earth today! Although I said that, you may have laughed out in front of the screen, but the calculations in this script are entirely based on astronomical data and mathematical relationships.
Your next question may be why you compare the movements of the eight planets and the laws of the market on the earth together? My answer comes from a Cybernetic Sine Wave indicator proposed by Dr. John F. Ehlers.
Function
L2 Ehlers Sine Wave Coupled Eight Planetary Cycle first converts the astronomical data of the eight major planets into planetary aspects/phases through mathematical relationships. Planetary aspects/phases can provide the historical and current relative positions of each planet in the mathematical triangle relationship. We can use a simple mathematical sine formula to constrain the planet's trajectory between -1 and 1, which is what we often call a sine wave.
The relationship between the sine wave and the market can be extracted from the theory of John F. Ehlers. In Ehlers' theory, market price can be modeled by the trend and cycle modes. And in his works, there are many indicators of how to completely remove the trend in the market price and only leave the cycle mode data. The Cybernetic Sine Wave indicator is exactly the cycle mode data after the market trend is stripped, and expressed in the form of a sine wave.
If you can read to here with patience, you must also be aware of the premise that the trajectories of the eight planets and the laws of the earth market can be coupled: the trajectory of the sine wave mode. Therefore, this indicator is a tool for comparing and analyzing the two in the same chart. I hope you like it.
Finally, in order to benchmark the trajectories of the eight planets and the specific market on the earth, a starting point in time is particularly important. This is the base date of the market index to be analyzed. It is the year, month, and day data specified by the index, which needs to be input by the user when analyzing a specific stock index. For example, the base date of the S&P 500 index is January 3, 1928. This date needs to be entered into the indicator to analyze the SPX500.

Pros and Cons
This is a technical indicator that I have come up with on a whim, and the laws of planetary operation and the operation of the Earth market are still being explored. Hope that interested friends will share your new discoveries.

To celebrate I released the 50th technical indicator script on TV!

Readme
In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.
The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.
Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.
Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.
Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.
Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.
Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.
