Smoothed Wave Scalper

colinmck Updated   
This one is a little different.

Instead of layering lots of indicators to filter noise, I'm instead using two different kinds of price averaging to smooth the candles and better define the direction. Just select a smoothing value that fits your chart and timeframe. In theory, this should remove a fair bit of noise (although nothing's perfect)

I've managed to determine when the candles change colour, signifying a potential new trend. When the candle colours do change, an alert is fired. It's as simple as that! Wyckoff wave volume analysis is then applied to each alert to validate the move. Further filtering can be achieved using heikin ashi candles if this is your preference.

Alerts are built in for both the candle colour change and the wave filtered signals (long/short). Use long/short for entries and the colour changes for exits.

I'm currently trading with linear regression to help indentify obvious channels and areas of support/resistance. The candles bouncing down off of the upper band can confirm a downward trend, and bouncing off of the lower band can signify an up trend. It's much easier to see with smoothed candles like these and can give you confidence when trading manually. These bands are rendered automatically, but aren't essential to taking a trade.
Release Notes:
In addition to the 'Candle color has changed alert', I added more for 'Candle turned green' and 'Candle turned red'
Release Notes:
- Removing a layer of unnecessary filtering
- Adding an alert for the color of the bars changing (likely signalling a new trend)
