Originality and Usefulness
The originality of this script lies in its integration and the synergy it creates among the indicators used. Rather than merely combining multiple indicators, this script allows them to work together, enhancing each other's strengths. For example, by identifying divergences across WaveTrend, RSI, and Stochastic RSI simultaneously, the script provides multiple layers of confirmation, which reduces the likelihood of false signals and increases the reliability of trading signals.
The usefulness of this script is apparent in its ability to offer a consolidated view of market dynamics. It not only simplifies the analytical process by combining different indicators but also provides deeper insights through its divergence detection features. This comprehensive approach is designed to help traders identify potential market reversals, confirm trends, and ultimately make more informed trading decisions.
How the Components Work Together
1. Cross-Validation of Signals
WaveTrend: This indicator is primarily used to identify overbought and oversold conditions, as well as potential buy and sell signals. WaveTrend's ability to smooth price data and reduce noise makes it a reliable tool for identifying trend reversals.
RSI & Stochastic RSI: These momentum oscillators are used to measure the speed and change of price movements. While RSI identifies general overbought and oversold conditions, Stochastic RSI offers a more granular view by tracking the RSI’s level relative to its high-low range over a period of time. When these indicators align with WaveTrend signals, it adds a layer of confirmation that enhances the reliability of the signals.
Money Flow Index (MFI): This volume-weighted indicator assesses the inflow and outflow of money in an asset, giving insights into buying and selling pressure. By analyzing the MFI alongside WaveTrend and RSI indicators, the script can cross-validate signals, ensuring that buy or sell signals are supported by actual market volume.
Example Bullish scenario:
When a bullish divergence is detected on the RSI and confirmed by a corresponding bullish signal on the WaveTrend, along with an increasing Money Flow Index, the probability of a successful trade setup increases. This cross-validation minimizes the risk of acting on false signals, which might occur when relying on a single indicator.
Example Bearish scenario:
When a bearish divergence is detected on the RSI and confirmed by a corresponding bearish signal on the WaveTrend, along with an decreasing Money Flow Index, the probability of a successful trade setup increases. This cross-validation minimizes the risk of acting on false signals, which might occur when relying on a single indicator.
2. Divergence Detection and Market Reversals
Regular Divergences: Occur when the price action and an indicator (like RSI or WaveTrend) move in opposite directions. Regular bullish divergence signals a potential upward reversal when the price makes a lower low while the indicator makes a higher low. Conversely, regular bearish divergence suggests a downward reversal when the price makes a higher high, but the indicator makes a lower high.
Hidden Divergences: These occur when the price action and indicator move in the same direction, but with different momentum. Hidden bullish divergence suggests the continuation of an uptrend, while hidden bearish divergence suggests the continuation of a downtrend. By detecting these divergences across multiple indicators, the script identifies potential trend reversals or continuations with greater accuracy.
Example: The script might detect a regular bullish divergence on the WaveTrend while simultaneously identifying a hidden bullish divergence on the RSI. This combination suggests that while a trend reversal is possible, the overall market sentiment remains bullish, providing a nuanced view of the market.

3. Trend Strength and Sentiment Analysis
WaveTrend: Measures the strength and direction of the trend. By identifying the extremes of market sentiment (overbought and oversold levels), WaveTrend provides early signals for potential reversals.
Money Flow Index (MFI): Assesses the underlying sentiment by analyzing the flow of money. A rising MFI during an uptrend confirms strong buying pressure, while a falling MFI during a downtrend confirms selling pressure. This helps traders assess whether a trend is likely to continue or reverse.
RSI & Stochastic RSI: Offer a momentum-based perspective on the trend’s strength. High RSI or Stochastic RSI values indicate that the asset may be overbought, suggesting a potential reversal. Conversely, low values indicate oversold conditions, signaling a possible upward reversal.
Example:
During a strong uptrend, the WaveTrend & RSI's might signal overbought conditions, suggesting caution. If the MFI also shows decreasing buying pressure and the RSI reaches extreme levels, these indicators together suggest that the trend might be weakening, and a reversal could be imminent.
Example:
During a strong downtrend, the WaveTrend & RSI's might signal oversold conditions, suggesting caution. If the MFI also shows increasing buying pressure and the RSI reaches extreme levels, these indicators together suggest that the trend might be weakening, and a reversal could be imminent.
Conclusion
The "WaveTrend With Divergences & RSI(STOCH) Divergences" script offers a powerful, integrated approach to technical analysis by combining trend, momentum, and sentiment indicators into a single tool. Its unique value lies in the cross-validation of signals, the ability to detect divergences, and the comprehensive view it provides of market conditions.

Market Cipher B by WeloTradesMarket Cipher B by WeloTrades: Detailed Script Description
//Overview//
"Market Cipher B by WeloTrades" is an advanced trading tool that combines multiple technical indicators to provide a comprehensive market analysis framework. By integrating WaveTrend, RSI, and MoneyFlow indicators, this script helps traders to better identify market trends, potential reversals, and trading opportunities. The script is designed to offer a holistic view of the market by combining the strengths of these individual indicators.
//Key Features and Originality//
WaveTrend Analysis:
WaveTrend Channel (WT1 and WT2): The core of this script is the WaveTrend indicator, which uses the smoothed average of typical price to identify overbought and oversold conditions. WT1 and WT2 are calculated to track market momentum and cyclical price movements.
Major Divergences (🐮/🐻): The script detects and highlights major bullish and bearish divergences automatically, providing traders with visual cues for potential reversals. This helps in making informed decisions based on divergence patterns.
Relative Strength Index (RSI):
RSI Levels: RSI is used to measure the speed and change of price movements, with specific levels indicating overbought and oversold conditions.
Customizable Levels: Users can configure the overbought and oversold thresholds, allowing for a tailored analysis based on individual trading strategies.
MoneyFlow Indicator:
Fast and Slow MoneyFlow: This indicator tracks the flow of capital into and out of the market, offering insights into the underlying market strength. It includes configurable periods and multipliers for both fast and slow MoneyFlow.
Vertical Positioning: The script allows users to adjust the vertical position of MoneyFlow plots to maintain a clear and uncluttered chart.
Stochastic RSI:
Stochastic RSI Levels: This combines the RSI and Stochastic indicators to provide a momentum oscillator that is sensitive to price changes. It is used to identify overbought and oversold conditions within a specified period.
Customizable Levels: Traders can set specific levels for more precise analysis.
//How It Works//
The script integrates these indicators through advanced algorithms, creating a synergistic effect that enhances market analysis. Here’s a detailed explanation of the underlying concepts and calculations:
WaveTrend Indicator:
Calculation: WaveTrend is based on the typical price (average of high, low, and close) smoothed over a specified channel length. WT1 and WT2 are derived from this typical price and further smoothed using the Average Channel Length. The difference between WT1 and WT2 indicates momentum, helping to identify cyclical market trends.
RSI (Relative Strength Index):
Calculation: RSI calculates the average gains and losses over a specified period to measure the speed and change of price movements. It oscillates between 0 and 100, with levels set to identify overbought (>70) and oversold (<30) conditions.
MoneyFlow Indicator:
Calculation: MoneyFlow is derived by multiplying price changes by volume and smoothing the results over specified periods. Fast MoneyFlow reacts quickly to price changes, while Slow MoneyFlow offers a broader view of capital movement trends.
Stochastic RSI:
Calculation: Stochastic RSI is computed by applying the Stochastic formula to RSI values, which highlights the RSI’s relative position within its range over a given period. This helps in identifying momentum shifts more precisely.
//How to Use the Script//
Display Settings:
Users can enable or disable various components like WaveTrend OB & OS levels, MoneyFlow plots, and divergence alerts through checkboxes.
Example: Turn on "Show Major Divergence" to see major bullish and bearish divergence signals directly on the chart.
Adjust Channel Settings:
Customize the data source, channel length, and smoothing periods in the "WaveTrend Channel SETTINGS" group.
Example: Set the "Channel Length" to 10 for a more responsive WaveTrend line or adjust the "Average Channel Length" to 21 for smoother trends.
Set Overbought & Oversold Levels:
Configure levels for WaveTrend, RSI, and Stochastic RSI in their respective settings groups.
Example: Set the WaveTrend Overbought Level to 60 and Oversold Level to -60 to define critical thresholds.
Money Flow Settings:
Adjust the periods and multipliers for Fast and Slow MoneyFlow indicators, and set their vertical positions for better visualization.
Example: Set the Fast Money Flow Period to 9 and Slow Money Flow Period to 12 to capture both short-term and long-term capital movements.
//Justification for Combining Indicators//
Enhanced Market Analysis:
Combining WaveTrend, RSI, and MoneyFlow provides a more comprehensive view of market conditions. Each indicator brings a unique perspective, making the analysis more robust.
WaveTrend identifies cyclical trends, RSI measures momentum, and MoneyFlow tracks capital movement. Together, they provide a multi-dimensional analysis of the market.
Improved Decision-Making:
By integrating these indicators, the script helps traders make more informed decisions. For example, a bullish divergence detected by WaveTrend might be validated by an RSI moving out of oversold territory and supported by increasing MoneyFlow.
Customization and Flexibility:
The script offers extensive customization options, allowing traders to tailor it to their specific needs and strategies. This flexibility makes it suitable for different trading styles and timeframes.
//Conclusion//
The indicator stands out due to its innovative combination of WaveTrend, RSI, and MoneyFlow indicators, offering a well-rounded tool for market analysis. By understanding how each component works and how they complement each other, traders can leverage this script to enhance their market analysis and trading strategies, making more informed and confident decisions.
Remember to always backtest the indicator first before implying it to your strategy.
Multi-Timeframe Momentum Indicator [Ox_kali]The Multi-Timeframe Momentum Indicator is a trend analysis tool designed to examine market momentum across various timeframes on a single chart.

Multiple Ticker Stochastic RSIThe Stochastic RSI is a technical indicator ranging between 0 and 100, based on applying the Stochastic oscillator formula to a set of relative strength index (RSI). Unlike the original Stochastic RSI indicator, this allows you to define up to two additional tickers for which all three will be averaged and outputted visually looking like a standard Stochastic RSI indicator. Potential buy and sell visuals are included, as well as alerts. Please note that this indicator is not meant to be used by itself.
RSI, SRSI, MACD and DMI cross - Open source codeHello,
I'm a passionate trader who has spent years studying technical analysis and exploring different trading strategies. Through my research, I've come to realize that certain indicators are essential tools for conducting accurate market analysis and identifying profitable trading opportunities. In particular, I've found that the RSI, SRSI, MACD cross, and Di cross indicators are crucial for my trading success.
Detailed explanation:
The RSI is a momentum indicator that measures the strength of price movements. It is calculated by comparing the average of gains and losses over a certain period of time. In this indicator, the RSI is calculated based on the close price with a length of 14 periods.
The Stochastic RSI is a combination of the Stochastic Oscillator and the RSI. It is used to identify overbought and oversold conditions of the market. In this indicator, the Stochastic RSI is calculated based on the RSI with a length of 14 periods.
The MACD is a trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of prices. It consists of two lines, the MACD line and the signal line, which are used to generate buy and sell signals. In this indicator, the MACD is calculated based on the close price with fast and slow lengths of 12 and 26 periods, respectively, and a signal length of 9 periods.
The DMI is a trend-following indicator that measures the strength of directional movement in the market. It consists of three lines, the Positive Directional Indicator (+DI), the Negative Directional Indicator (-DI), and the Average Directional Index (ADX), which are used to generate buy and sell signals. In this indicator, the DMI is calculated with a length of 14 periods and an ADX smoothing of 14 periods.
The indicator generates buy signals when certain conditions are met for each of these indicators.
1) For the RSI, a buy signal is generated when the RSI is below or equal to 35 and the Stochastic RSI %K is below or equal to 15, or when the RSI is below or equal to 28 the Stochastic RSI %K is below or equal to 15 or when the RSI is below or equal to 25 and the Stochastic RSI %K is below or equal to 10 or when the RSI is below or equal to 28.
2) For the MACD, a buy signal is generated when the MACD line is below 0, there is a change in the histogram from negative to positive, the MACD line and histogram are negative in the previous period, and the current histogram value is greater than 0.
3) For the DMI, a buy signal is generated when the Positive Directional Indicator (+DI) crosses above the Negative Directional Indicator (-DI), and the -DI is less than the +DI.
The indicator generates sell signals when certain conditions are met for each of these indicators:
1) For the RSI, a sell signal is generated when the RSI is above or equal to 75 and the Stochastic RSI %K is above or equal to 85, or when the RSI is above or equal to 80 and the Stochastic RSI %K is above or equal to 85, or when the RSI is above or equal to 85 and the Stochastic RSI %K is above or equal to 90 or when the RSI is above or equal to 82.
2)For the MACD, a sell signal is generated when the MACD line is above 0, there is a change in the histogram from positive to negative, the MACD line and histogram are positive in the previous period, and the current histogram value is less than the previous histogram value. On the other hand, a buy signal is generated when the MACD line is below 0, there is a change in the histogram from negative to positive, the MACD line and histogram are negative in the previous period, and the current histogram value is greater than the previous histogram value.
3)For the DMI a bearish signal is generated when plusDI crosses above minusDI, indicating that bulls are losing strength and bears are taking control.
The indicator uses a combination of these four indicators to generate potential buy and sell signals. The buy signals are generated when RSI and SRSI values are in oversold conditions, while sell signals are generated when RSI and SRSI values are in overbought conditions. The indicator also uses MACD crossovers and DMI crossovers to generate additional buy and sell signals.
When a signal is strong?
The use of multiple signals within a specific timeframe can increase the accuracy and reliability of the signals generated by this indicator. It is recommended to look for at least two signals within a range of 5-8 candles in order to increase the probability of a successful trade.
Why it's original?
1) There is no indicator in the library that combine all of these indicators and give you a 360 view
2)The combination of the RSI, Stochastic RSI, MACD, and DMI indicators in a single script it's unique and not available in the libray.
3)The specific parameters and conditions used to calculate the signals may be unique and not found in other scripts or libraries.
4)The use of plotshape() to plot the signals as shapes on the chart may be unique compared to other scripts that simply plot lines or bars to indicate signals.
5)The use of alertcondition() to trigger alerts based on the signals may be unique compared to other scripts that do not have custom alert functionality.
Keep attention!
It is important to note that no trading indicator or strategy is foolproof, and there is always a risk of losses in trading. While this indicator may provide useful information for making conclusions, it should not be used as the sole basis for making trading decisions. Traders should always use proper risk management techniques and consider multiple factors when making trading decisions.

Stochastic with DivergencesReuploading as there was an issue with the description.
This indicator uses the popular Stochastic indicator as its base. I have included the ability to draw divergences on the indicator as they occur live. By default it will be off, select the settings for the indicator and about halfway down there will be a dropdown menu that says "Off". Select it and then select which divergences you want to draw: Regular, Hidden, or Both. I like to draw both. I find that hidden divergence is really nice during a trending market and the regular divergence is works great in a range market. I also feel that the regular divergence is great during a trending market if you are given the signal but then wait for the next price movement for a double top/bottom to occur. The Stochastic indicator itself is often used in a ranging market by selling when it is overbought and buying once it indicates oversold (much like the RSI indicator). I find that it can work in trending markets if you only take overbought in a down trend and oversold in an up trend. In the above picture you can see that I had used it to trade this downtrend using both the Hidden Divergence and Sell Signals to catch the trend continuation until it failed on the fourth trade. From here I would usually start using the Stochastic as simply an oscillating indicator and buy/sell based on overbought/oversold. I've also added an option to enable the Stochastic RSI if you'd rather use that, as well as a fill option which simply colors in the space between the Stochastic and Signal lines. The Signals option will put on highlights of when to buy or sell based on overbought/oversold areas that agree with the long term trend (based on the 200 EMA).
Divergence is a short way of saying there was a higher or lower movement compared to normal but the price did not represent that movement, indicating strength or weakness in a specific direction.
Regular divergence is an indication of a trend reversal. Regular bullish divergence occurs when the price chart shows a lower low while the stochastic shows a higher low. Regular bearish divergence occurs when the price chart shows a higher high while the stochastic shows a lower high.
Hidden divergence is an indication of a trend continuation. Hidden bullish divergence occurs when the price chart shows a higher low while the stochastic shows a lower low. Hidden bearish divergence occurs when the price chart shows a lower high while the stochastic shows a higher high.
The "Only Trending Divergences" option, if enabled, will only show bearish divergences during a down trend (price is below 200 EMA) and only show bullish divergences during an uptrend (price is above 200 EMA). I like to use this option and have set it to ON by default.
The "Middle Filter" option, if enabled, ensures that Highs on the stochastic indicator will not be counted as Highs unless they are above the middle value of the oscillator (which is 50), same goes for lows: they will not be counted as Lows unless they are below the middle value of the oscillator.
I also include buy/sell signals that coincide with the trend (based on the 200 EMA). If price is currently below the 200 EMA and the stochastic indicator is overbought (over 80), you can get a sell signal when it the blue line crosses down below 80. This sell signal shows that you are in a down trend and the price just was overbought but is now likely to continue pushing downwards. The opposite works for buy signals: Above 200 EMA, stochastic goes below 20, when it crosses above 20 it will show a green highlight to indicate price is likely to push upwards.
I think the default options are likely the best to use. The only one I tend to change on occasion is the "Pivots to look back" which I adjust usually to either 1 or 3.
