WaveTrend Oscillator Lite [SolQuant]

The WaveTrend Oscillator Lite [SolQuant] indicator provides single-timeframe WaveTrend momentum analysis with overbought and oversold zone detection. It displays the core WT1/WT2 oscillator lines with color-coded gradient fills, making it easy to identify momentum extremes at a glance.

This is the free version of WaveTrend Oscillator [SolQuant], offering the core oscillator engine on a single timeframe without the multi-timeframe overlays, chart signals, alignment stars, or dashboard available in the full version.


█ USAGE

Reading the Oscillator
Two WaveTrend lines (WT1 and WT2) oscillate around a zero line. When WT1 is above WT2, momentum is bullish (default: blue). When below, momentum is bearish (default: magenta). A gradient fill extends between the lines and toward zero, providing an intuitive visual cue of momentum strength and direction.

Extreme Zones
When either WT line crosses above the overbought level, the lines turn red and a red fill highlights the extreme zone. When below the oversold level, the lines turn green with a green fill. These extreme readings indicate potential reversal areas where momentum has stretched to unsustainable levels.


█ DETAILS

The WaveTrend oscillator is calculated in three steps:
1 — An EMA of the typical price (HLC3) is computed over the channel length
2 — The absolute deviation from this EMA is smoothed with another EMA
3 — The normalized difference (CI) is smoothed with an EMA of the average length to produce WT1, and a simple SMA of WT1 produces WT2


█ SETTINGS

• Channel Length: EMA period for the price channel (default: 10).
• Average Length: EMA period for final smoothing (default: 21).
• Over Bought Level 1 / 2: Upper threshold levels for extreme zone detection (default: 60 / 53).
• Over Sold Level 1 / 2: Lower threshold levels for extreme zone detection (default: -60 / -53).


This indicator is an oscillator-based tool and does not constitute financial advice. Overbought and oversold conditions do not guarantee reversals. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
