Smart Wave Trend Analyzer
An advanced trend detection system that automatically identifies and draws high-quality trend lines based on wave analysis and fractal patterns.
MT4-version: https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/164395
Main Components:
1. MAJOR LINES (Blue/Red, Thick)
- — Long-term trend based on SMA(70) and LWMA(10) crossover
- Identifies main peaks and troughs in price movement
- Blue line = Resistance (connecting highs)
- Red line = Support (connecting lows)
- Suitable for swing trading and position trading
2. MINOR LINES (Cyan/Orange, Thin)
- Short-term trend based on SMA(21) and LWMA(4) crossover
- Captures quick market movements
- Cyan line = Resistance (connecting highs)
- Orange line = Support (connecting lows)
- Ideal for intraday trading and scalping
3. FRACTAL LINES (Green/Purple, Medium)
- Automatic detection of trend lines through multiple fractals
- Algorithm finds lines passing through 4+ fractal points
- Displays only the highest quality lines (with most points)
- Green = Resistance lines
- Purple = Support lines
- Self-adapts to market structure
How It Works:
— Wave Detection: The indicator tracks crossovers between fast (LWMA) and slow (SMA) moving averages
— Peak/Trough Identification: Finds extreme prices during each wave phase
— Fractal Analysis: Identifies classic fractals (center bar higher/lower than neighboring bars)
— Line Optimization: Searches through all fractal combinations to find the best trend lines
— Quality Filtering: Displays only lines with minimum 4 points within 0.3% tolerance
Key Parameters:
- Max Bars to Calculate (1000) - History depth for analysis
- Minimum Fractals per Line (4) - Minimum points per line
- Maximum Lines per Type (3) - Maximum lines of each type (to avoid cluttering the chart)
- Line Tolerance (% of price) (0.003) - Price deviation tolerance (0.3%)
Best Use Cases:
- Finding major support/resistance zones
- Identifying trend channels
- Spotting breakout opportunities
- Setting stop-losses and take-profits
- Multi-timeframe analysis (comparing different periods)
INDICATOR SETTINGS
Major Waves (Long-term Trend):
MajorSMA_Period (70) - Period of slow moving average for determining the main trend. Higher values provide more stable and reliable signals, but slower reaction to market changes.
MajorLWMA_Period (10) - Period of fast weighted moving average for smoothing. Determines entry points for long-term positions.
Minor Waves (Short-term Trend):
MinorSMA_Period (21) - Period of slow moving average for detecting local trends. Suitable for intraday trading and scalping.
MinorLWMA_Period (4) - Period of fast weighted moving average. Generates frequent signals for active trading.
Fractal Analysis:
FractalPeriod (5) - Number of bars to the left and right for fractal identification. Standard value according to Bill Williams. Increasing gives fewer but more reliable fractals.
FractalLineTolerance (0.003) - Acceptable price deviation from trend line (in percent). Value 0.003 = 0.3%. Lower values mean stricter quality requirements for lines.
MinFractalsForLine (4) - Minimum number of fractals to build a trend line. More points = more reliable line, but fewer lines on the chart.
MaxFractalLines (3) - Maximum number of fractal lines of each type (resistance/support). Prevents chart clutter.
General Settings:
MaxBarsToCalculate (1000) - Analysis history depth in bars. Recommended 500-1000 for optimal performance. Higher = more accurate analysis, but slower calculation.
SensitivityPoints (5) - Sensitivity for detecting wave changes (in points). Filters false signals during small price fluctuations.
Display:
- ShowMajorTL - Show long-term trend lines (blue/red, thick)
- ShowMinorTL - Show short-term trend lines (cyan/orange, thin)
- ShowFractalTL - Show automatic fractal lines (green/purple)
- ShowStatPanel - Show information panel with number of active lines
Color Settings:
All line colors can be customized individually:
- Major lines (resistance/support)
- Minor lines (resistance/support)
- Fractal lines (resistance/support)
Panel Settings:
- PanelX / PanelY - Information panel position on chart
- PanelFontSize - Panel font size
- PanelBgColor - Panel background color
- PanelTextColor - Panel text color
- PanelBorderColor - Panel border color
CONFIGURATION RECOMMENDATIONS
— For swing trading: Use only major lines, increase MajorSMA_Period to 100
— For scalping: Keep only minor lines, decrease MinorSMA_Period to 13
— For maximum accuracy: Increase MinFractalsForLine to 5-6 and decrease FractalLineTolerance to 0.002
— For clean chart: Decrease MaxFractalLines to 2 or disable fractal lines completely
