The Mono Waves indicator is designed to
display the wave behavior of the market on a chart. Its appearance is presented on slide 1. This
indicator uses the PPPC (Point-Percent Price Channel) indicator, which can be downloaded for free from the Market.
When the market moves up, the upper
border of the price channel is built on High candlestick prices (for more details, see the description of the PPPC indicator at the link given
above). The higher the High prices rise, the higher the PPPC indicator channel rises.
In this case, one segment of the Mono Waves indicator line is drawn, which is directed upwards, and which
connects two points: the lowest and highest points of the plot on which the PPPC channel rises. See slide 2
(left side).
As soon as the price
touches the lower border of the channel, the PPPC indicator switches to building now this lower border, which is built at the price of Low
candles. And the lower the Low prices fall, the lower the channel of the PPPC indicator falls. At the same time, a
new segment of the Mono Waves indicator line is drawn, which is directed in the opposite direction (down), and which also connects
two points: the highest and the lowest point of the plot on which the PPPC channel goes down. See slide 2
(middle part).
When the price touches
the upper boundary of the channel, the PPPC indicator again switches to constructing this upper boundary. And the Mono Waves
indicator is building a new segment of its line, which is again upward. And so on … See slide 2 (right side).
Since the Mono
Waves indicator is completely dependent on the operation of the PPPC indicator, it has exactly the same parameters as the latter.
Parameters
- Channel Width in Points – channel width in points;
- Channel Width in Percents – channel width in
percents.
For the purpose of these
parameters, see the description of the PPPC indicator, the link to which is given above.
Track lines
In addition to the main
monowave line, this indicator has track lines. At the first start of the indicator, they are not visible. But they can be turned on
(visualized) by specifying for them a color other than transparent, for example, blue. After they are turned on, the indicator will look
like shown in slide 3.
Why are these lines
needed? There are at least three reasons to see them on the chart.
First, these lines show the trajectory along which the right end of the mono-wave line segment moves in the
process of its formation (as new bars appear). In fact, the lines of the track – this is the real mono-wave line. This
is especially evident if you turn off the display of the main mono-wave line (by switching its color to transparent), while leaving only the
display of the lines of the track. See slide 4.
Secondly, the track lines show the moments at which a mono-wave line breaks, i.e. the construction of the
previous segment is stopped and the construction of a new (oppositely directed) segment begins. To see this better, add the PPPC indicator
price line display to the track lines. See slide 5. On this slide, the lines (i.e. borders) of the price
channel are shown by thin blue lines, and the lines of the track by thick blue lines. As you can see on this slide, the lines of the track always
move along one of the boundaries of the channel (either upper or lower). Sometimes track lines jump from one channel
boundary to another. So, at the moment of such jumping, the mono-wave line breaks: i.e. the construction of the previous segment stops and
the construction of a new (oppositely directed) segment begins. For example, when the track lines jump from the
lower to the upper boundary of the channel, the construction of the previous (downward) segment of the mono-wave line stops, and the
construction of a new segment upward begins.
Thirdly, the lines of the track can be bifurcated, thereby showing …
