Core Concepts
Dynamic Zone Technology
CycleWave Pro MTF uses revolutionary self-adaptive zones that automatically adjust to market volatility:
- Triangles (▲/▼): Appear in extreme oversold/overbought zones (beyond ±2σ)
- Other shapes (●/♦/■): Appear in non-extreme zones to signal trend shifts
- Color coding: Green = upward trend momentum, Red = downward trend momentum
- Triple confirmation: When multiple signals converge at the same point, expect significant moves
Market State | Zone Behavior | Trading Impact |
---|---|---|
High Volatility | Zones expand automatically | Fewer but higher quality signals |
Low Volatility | Zones contract automatically | More signals, requires filtering |
Trending | Asymmetric zone adjustment | Trend-following signals enhanced |
Ranging | Symmetric zone behavior | Mean reversion signals emphasized |
Market Phase Detection
The indicator identifies five distinct market phases using weighted slope analysis:
RISING
Momentum increasing, not yet overbought. Ideal for holding longs and buying dips.
PEAK
Overbought but still rising. Prepare for profit-taking, avoid new longs.
FALLING
Momentum decreasing, not yet oversold. Hold shorts, sell rallies.
TROUGH
Oversold but still falling. Prepare to cover shorts, avoid new shorts.
NEUTRAL
Sideways consolidation. Use range-trading strategies or stay flat.
Triple Trend Confirmation System
CycleWave Pro MTF employs a triple trend confirmation system through multiple signal crossovers to detect cycle wave trend changes with unprecedented accuracy:
🎯 Convergent Signals
When multiple signal shapes appear at similar points:
- Multiple crossover markers cluster together
- Indicates rapid and sharp trend reversal
- High confidence signal
- Act quickly on these setups
📊 Divergent Signals
When signal shapes appear at different price levels:
- Crossover markers spread across various points
- Indicates slower, gradual trend reversal
- Requires patience and confirmation
- Monitor higher timeframe cycles
Multi-Timeframe Synchronization
Monitor up to 6 timeframes simultaneously for institutional-level market analysis:

├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 5m │ +2.1 │ OB │ PEAK │ SELL! │
│ 15m│ +1.8 │ OB │ PEAK │ SELL │
│ 30m│ +1.5 │ NORM │ RISE │ --- │

Interface Overview
1. Main Chart Area
CycleWave Oscillator Line (Cyan)
- Oscillates within dynamic zones (zones adapt automatically)
- Represents market momentum strength
- Above zero line = Bullish market, below = Bearish market
- The more extreme the value, the higher the reversal probability
Signal Marking System
The oscillator displays various shapes at crossover points to indicate trend changes:
- ▲ Green Triangle: Strong buy signal in extreme oversold zones (beyond -2σ)
- ▼ Red Triangle: Strong sell signal in extreme overbought zones (beyond +2σ)
- ● Circle: Slow signal crossover in normal zones (stable but lagging)
- ♦ Diamond: Fast signal crossover in normal zones (sensitive but noisy)
- ■ Square: EMA signal crossover in normal zones (balanced approach)
Color Coding: Green shapes = Upward momentum | Red shapes = Downward momentum
Zone Line Explanation
Zone | Reference Position | Meaning |
---|---|---|
Extreme Overbought | Outer upper boundary (dynamically adjusted) |
Severe overbought, high reversal risk |
Overbought | Inner upper boundary (dynamically adjusted) |
Overbought area, cautious with longs |
Normal Range | Between boundaries | Regular fluctuation range |
Oversold | Inner lower boundary (dynamically adjusted) |
Oversold area, cautious with shorts |
Extreme Oversold | Outer lower boundary (dynamically adjusted) |
Severe oversold, high bounce risk |
- High volatility: Zones expand automatically, filtering noise signals
- Low volatility: Zones contract automatically, increasing signal sensitivity
- Always adapts to current market state, no manual adjustment needed

Signal Analysis
Buy Signal Hierarchy
Signal | Strength | Trigger Conditions | Recommended Action |
---|---|---|---|
BUY! | Extreme | Beyond -2 standard deviations + Multiple crossovers + 4+ timeframe sync | Full position size, tight stop |
BUY | Strong | Oversold zone + Signal crossover | Normal position size |
B↑ | Moderate | Single signal crossover | Small position or wait |
B↑↑ | Moderate+ | Multiple signal crossovers | Scale in gradually |
- Rolling window of historical oscillator values (default: 100 periods)
- Mean and standard deviation computed from this window
- Extreme buy zone: Mean - (2 × Standard Deviation)
- Extreme sell zone: Mean + (2 × Standard Deviation)
- This indicates an exceptionally strong trend
- Check higher timeframes (4H, Daily) for the primary trend
- The extreme state may persist until higher timeframe cycles complete
- Use trailing stops rather than counter-trend trades
Divergence Detection
🐂 Bullish Divergence
Definition: When price action and cycle oscillator show conflicting trends
Classic Bullish: Price makes a lower low, but oscillator makes a higher low
Hidden Bullish: Price makes a higher low, but oscillator makes a lower low
Meaning: Selling pressure is weakening despite price decline
Action: Prepare for potential upward reversal
🐻 Bearish Divergence
Definition: When price action and cycle oscillator show conflicting trends
Classic Bearish: Price makes a higher high, but oscillator makes a lower high
Hidden Bearish: Price makes a lower high, but oscillator makes a higher high
Meaning: Buying pressure is weakening despite price rise
Action: Prepare for potential downward reversal
- Never trade divergence against strong trends without confirmation
- Multiple divergences can occur before actual reversal
- Combine with zone extremes for higher probability
- Use smaller position sizes due to higher risk
Professional Trading Strategies
Strategy 1: Multi-Timeframe Convergence
Entry Conditions (Long Example):
- Background shows synchronization color (4+ timeframes aligned)
- Current timeframe shows "BUY!" or "BUY" signal
- No bearish divergence present
- Main oscillator in oversold zone or breaking above
Risk Management:
Sync Level | Risk per Trade | Stop Loss | Target |
---|---|---|---|
6 Timeframes | 2.0% | 2-3% below entry | Opposite extreme zone |
5 Timeframes | 1.5% | 3-4% below entry | Upper zone boundary |
4 Timeframes | 1.0% | 4-5% below entry | Mid-zone or trailing |
Strategy 2: Extreme Reversal Trading
Long Setup Requirements:
- Position: Extreme oversold zone (outer boundary breach)
- Signal: "BUY!" appears
- Confirmation: Bullish divergence or reversal candle pattern
- Higher timeframe: Shows "TROUGH" phase
Short Setup Requirements:
- Position: Extreme overbought zone (outer boundary breach)
- Signal: "SELL!" appears
- Confirmation: Bearish divergence or reversal candle pattern
- Higher timeframe: Shows "PEAK" phase
Strategy 3: Trend Following System
Implementation Steps:
- Identify Trend: Higher timeframes (Daily/Weekly) in "RISING" or "FALLING"
- Wait for Pullback: Lower timeframes show counter-trend movement
- Entry Trigger:
- Uptrend: Oscillator pulls back to zero line, then turns up
- Downtrend: Oscillator rallies to zero line, then turns down
- Position Management:
- Add on continued trend strength
- Use trailing stops based on zone boundaries
- Exit when higher timeframe phase changes

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do signal frequencies vary?
A: This is a feature of the adaptive zone system. During high volatility, zones expand automatically, producing fewer but more reliable signals. During low volatility, zones contract, generating more signals that require additional filtering. This ensures the indicator remains effective across all market conditions.
Q: How should I prioritize conflicting signals?
A: Follow this hierarchy:
- Multi-timeframe synchronization (check background color)
- Higher timeframe signals (more weight to larger timeframes)
- Extreme zone signals (outer boundaries)
- Divergence confirmations (as supporting evidence)
When in doubt: "Better to miss an opportunity than take a bad trade."
Q: What's the difference between zone states?
State | Meaning | Trading Implication |
---|---|---|
Expanded | Zones wider than normal | High volatility - trade carefully |
Normal | Standard zone width | Regular trading conditions |
Contracted | Zones narrower than normal | Low volatility - breakout pending |
Q: Can divergences fail?
A: Yes, especially in strong trends. Divergences indicate momentum weakening, not guaranteed reversals. In powerful trends, multiple divergences may occur before actual reversal. Always use divergences with:
- Extreme zone positions
- Multi-timeframe confirmation
- Price action validation
- Strict stop losses
