Enhanced WaveTrend OscillatorThe Enhanced WaveTrend Oscillator is a modified version of the original WaveTrend. The WaveTrend indicator is a popular technical analysis tool used to identify overbought and oversold conditions in the market and generate trading signals. The enhanced version addresses certain limitations of the original indicator and introduces additional features for improved analysis and comparison across assets.
WaveTrend:
The original WaveTrend indicator calculates two lines based on exponential moving averages and their relationship to the asset's price. The first line measures the distance between the asset's price and its EMA, while the second line smooths the first line over a specific period. The result is divided by 0.015 multiplied by the smoothed difference ('d' for reference). The indicator aims to identify overbought and oversold conditions by analyzing the relationship between the two lines.
In the original formula, the rudimentary estimation factor 0.015 times 'd' fails to accomodate for approximately a quarter of the data, preventing the indicator from reaching the traditional stationary levels of +-100. This limitation renders the indicator quantitatively biased, as it relies on the user's subjective adjustment of the levels. The enhanced version replaces this factor with the standard deviation of the asset's price, resulting in improved estimation accuracy and provides a more dynamic and robust outcome, we thereafter multiply the result by 100 to achieve a more traditional oscillation.
Enhancements and Features:
The enhanced version of the WaveTrend indicator addresses several limitations of the original indicator and introduces additional features-
Dynamic Estimation: The original indicator uses an arbitrary estimation factor, while the enhanced version replaces it with the standard deviation of the asset's price. This modification provides a more dynamic and accurate estimation, adapting to the specific price characteristics of each asset.
Stationary Support and Resistance Levels: The enhanced version provides stationary key support and resistance levels that range from -150 to 150. These levels are determined based on the analysis of the indicator's data and encompass more than 95% of the indicator's values. These levels offer important reference points for traders to identify potential price reversals or significant price movements.
Comparison Across Assets: The enhanced version allows for better comparison and analysis across different assets. By incorporating the standard deviation of the asset's price, the indicator provides a more consistent and comparable interpretation of the market conditions across multiple assets.
Upon closer inspection of the modification in the enhanced version, we can observe that the resulting indicator is a smoothed variation of the Z-Score!
f_ewave(src, chlen, avglen) =>
basis = ta.ema(src, chlen)
dev = ta.stdev(src, chlen)
wave = (src - basis) / dev * 100
ta.ema(wave, avglen)
Z-Score Analysis:
The Z-Score is a statistical measurement that quantifies how far a particular data point deviates from the mean in terms of standard deviations. In the enhanced version, the calculation involves determining the basis (mean) and deviation (standard deviation) of the asset's price to calculate its Z-Score, thereafter applying a smoothing technique to generate the final WaveTrend value.
Utility:
The 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗪𝗧 indicator offers traders and investors valuable insights into overbought and oversold conditions in the market. By analyzing the indicator's values and referencing the stationary support and resistance levels, traders can identify potential trend reversals, evaluate market strength, and make better informed analysis.
It is important to note that this indicator should be used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools and indicators to confirm trading signals and validate market dynamics.

Example Charts:
Wavetrendindicator
Moving Average with Dynamic Color Gradient (WaveTrend Momentum)Similar scripts exist but I haven't seen one using WaveTrend and I haven't seen one that hand picks evenly divided colors between GREEN-YELLOW-RED.
The green is exact green, the yellow is exact yellow, and the red is exact red.
Not complicated, just useful.
+ WaveTrend Oscillator OverlayAn overlay version of pertinent signals from my version of LazyBear's Wavetrend Oscillator.
Shows momentum of long period WTO as either background colors or symbols.
Shows continuation and reversal trade signals.
If Secondary WTO is above the center line (momentum is long), then symbols print across the top of the chart when the primary (faster) WTO comes into "oversold," a number associated with a horizontal line on the off-chart indicator. This number is selectable via a drop-down menu. Same thing for bearish momentum.
Conversely, reversal signals are printed along the bottom when conditions are met. Ex: if the Secondary WTO is showing momentum is bullish, then symbols will print along the bottom when the primary WTO is at "overbought" (or whatever number you deem overbought--again, via a similar drop-down menu).
Also, symbols are printed above and below candles for when the moving average of the primary WTO is crossed.
You could use these for taking profits, exiting a trade, or entering a trade.
Includes a moving average that is an average of the 200 EMA, SMA and Kijun.
Alerts.
Enjoy.
//p.s. I recommend using this in conjunction with my "+ Wavetrend Oscillator" at least starting out. Helps to have a visual
//reference when picking reversal and continuation numbers.
On-chart Wavetrend Divergence with PivotsThis is an OnChart WaveTrend Divergence Indicator with Pivots and Alerts
LazyBears WaveTrend Indicator or also known as "Market Cipher" is an Indicator that is based on Moving Averages, therefore its an "lagging indicator". Lagging indicators are best used in combination with leading indicators. In this script the "leading indicator" component are Daily, Weekly or Monthly Pivots. These Pivots can be used as dynamic Support and Resistance, Stoploss, Take Profit etc.
This indicator combination is best used in larger timeframes. For lower timeframes you might need to change settings to your liking.
What are those circles?
-These are the WaveTrend Divergences. Red for Regular-Bearish. Orange for Hidden-Bearish. Green for Regular-Bullish. Aqua for Hidden-Bullish.
Please keep in mind that this indicator is a tool and not a strategy, do not blindly trade signals, do your own research first! Use this indicator in conjunction with other indicators to get multiple confirmations.
+ WaveTrend OscillatorI'm guessing most of you are familir with LazyBear's adaptation of the Wavetrend Oscillator; it's one of the most popular indicators on TradingView. I know others have done adaptations of it, but I thought I might as well, because that's kind of a thing I like doing.
In this version I've added a second Wavetrend plot. This is a thing I like to do. The longer plot gives you a longer timeframe momentum bias, and the shorter plot gives you entries and/or exits. Here we have one plot with a lookback period of 55, and another with the default set to 6 (change this to 14 if you think you might prefer something slower and that will plot similarly to the default RSI settings). With the traditional Wavetrend Oscillator there is a simple moving average on the WTO that is to help provide entries and exits. I've done away with this as there are already two plots, and I felt more would just clutter the indicator. Instead of plotting the SMA I've plotted the crosses along the bottom and top of the indicator. Also, as is not the case in LazyBear's version, this SMA length is adjustable. By default it is set to 3, which is the default setting on the original indicator.
I've also plotted background colors for when there is what I call a momentum shift. If one or the other oscillators crosses the centerline a colored bar is plotted. By default it is turned on for both WTOs, though in practice you might only want it on for the longer one.
I would say use of the indicator is similar to the original WTO or many other oscillators. Buying oversold and selling overbought, but being mindful of the momentum of the market. If the longer WTO is above the centerline it's best to be looking for dips to the centerline, or for an overbought signal by the faster WTO, and vice versa if the longer WTO is below the centerline. That said, you can also adjust the length of the SMA on the faster WTO to fine tune entries or exits, which is kind of how you would trade LazyBear's version. In this case you have that additional confirmation of market momentum.
You can set colored candles to either of the WTO plots via a dropdown menu.
There are alerts for overbought and oversold situations, centerline crosses, and Wavetrend crosses.
That's about it. Hope you enjoy this particular implementation of LazyBear's well known indicator.
Ah yes, last thing: Original version the source is set to hlc3. I've given you the opportunity to change that, so if you prefer using close you can, or whatever you want.
WaveTrend MultiEMAThis is a modification of LazyBear's WaveTrend. The SMA trend has been removed and a shorter time frame EMA has been added in black. The idea is to buy when the shorter time frame starts to curl up and the longer time frame, green, has started to either flatten out or curl up too. Sell when the shorter time frame has started down and green has either flattened or bottomed out as well. The black line will generate some noise so the key is to use the two in combination. My final goal would be to have the green line looking at daily candles and the black line looking at a 2 or 4 hour candle, but I haven't figured out how to do that.
