Author's notes:
EWO has:
  • Higher values during third waves' up
  • Lower but still Positive values during the first and fifth waves up
  • Negative values during the biggest corrections or downtrend impulse waves.

ElliotOscillator is already standard in ToS. Differences are avg vs expavg and ( hi + lo / 2 ) vs close.
Results are virtually the same. The ToS study allows changing the lengths so may be more versatile.

It goes without saying, but I will say it anyway :)... No trade should ever be entered into based on one indicator or one time frame

Merry, thank you, very much, that was exactly what I asked for and got. But, may I please modify my request. I asked for -2.0 or less, but I actually wanted -2.0 or greater. Plus at this time May I ask for an enhancement. Is it possible, in addition to look at the last 50 bars and locate that lowest valley.

And you are completely correct Merry , that a indicator by itself is not enough, I am just trying to get this under my belt first. thanks again.
 
Ahhhh.... What you are asking for is a lowest that can be perfectly defined. That would be the 'Holy Grail'.

If I find the 'lowest' and then the next candle is lower, my 'lowest' signal gets erased and moved to the new candle. This is the definition of repainting. You can read more about it here:

Even if you are willing to accept all the false signals to get to the elusive real low, these type of studies tend to not work in a scan due to being too complex. You can read more about it here:
