WaveTrend Oscillator for ThinkorSwim [LazyBear]

@zeek Yeah I think it might work a slight bit better on lower time frames than True Momentum Oscillator but overall I don't think it's that great. It does look like a better MACD but TMO gives more accurate divergence and a bit more accurate signals on higher times or most perhaps. I think all these types of indicators are lagging no matter how spot on they try to be, they're never always accurate. I find that if you exit before the crossover even happens then you might avoid the red candle that always appears as soon as the crossover happens and possibly come out with a profit by exiting as soon as the difference between the two lines decreases by like 10% or something like that. I guess this trick might be an advantage that it might have over TMO just cause you can kind of see the separation between the lines better, but it seems desperate.

@Katsu Did you try the indicator on another ticker and timeframe? The best way to find out if the script is working or not is to switch between multiple timeframes and tickers.
 
Here's an idea, linear regression of the WaveTrend and then std deviation of the WaveTrend, could indicate overbought oversold if std deviation of the WaveTrend get near the linear regression. https://tos.mx/wRS0Urj

@ala It should work on all time frames, maybe wait till it loads the regression mean does change based on the amount of data you do input, so the regression(average) will change based on f ou are using a day, week, month, etc. what ticker is it not working on?

It changes when I scroll the chart back and forth, prices that were below ,become above the indicator and vice versa
yeah possibly some versions of it might because i seen we are using the average but i dont believe this one does https://tos.mx/4ZOTEp6, check it out you might know better than me but i have been scrolling and i havent had that issue, im not sure.
