Zalen Wave Oscillator is a momentum pane built around an adaptive wave engine. It is designed as the companion of Zalen WaveTrend Overlay: with Auto settings on, both use the same engine, so the dots in this pane land on the same candles as the Overlay's white dots.
WHAT YOU SEE
- Wave: a fast wave drawn as a blue area and a dark signal line. Lengths adapt automatically to the chart timeframe (manual mode available).
- Edge dots: red dots along the top edge mark bearish signals, green dots along the bottom edge mark bullish signals. A dot requires a wave cross from an extreme zone, an optional reversal candle and a cooldown.
- Confluence (larger orange dot): a dot that appears shortly after a regular divergence and does not go against the higher-timeframe bias. This is the most selective signal.
- Volume flow: a green/red area based on real traded volume (volume-weighted close location).
- RSI (turns green when oversold, red when overbought; levels configurable) and Stoch RSI.
- Higher-timeframe bias strip: teal or red depending on the wave of the next higher timeframe.
OPTIONAL (off by default): momentum histogram, TP bands and TP marks, extreme lines, regular and hidden divergence markers, Schaff Trend Cycle, and a filter that hides signals against the higher-timeframe bias.
ALERTS Every signal has its own alert output (crosses, dots, TP, regular and hidden divergences, confluence). Create a platform alert on the output with "greater than 0.5".
REPAINTING AND LIMITATIONS
- Signals are evaluated on closed candles by default.
- Divergences are confirmed 2 bars after the pivot (configurable). The marker is drawn back on the pivot candle, but it only appears, and its alert only fires, after confirmation.
- The higher-timeframe bias reads only the last closed higher-timeframe candle, so it does not repaint. It is unavailable above the daily chart.
- Volume flow needs volume data; on instruments without volume it stays flat.
This indicator is an analysis tool, not a trading signal service. Past behavior does not guarantee future results.
