Wolfs
Download scriptThis script is designed as a visual analysis tool for traders to identify specific price patterns known as "Wolfwaves." Rather than providing simple trend lines, it automatically scans historical price data to detect structured movements of highs and lows, highlighting potential entry zones on the chart.
How the Logic Works
1. Data Filtering and Peak Identification The script begins by scanning the market history to identify significant high and low points (peaks). It does this by looking for price extremes over a specific timeframe (Depth). To ensure accuracy and filter out "market noise," it uses a deviation setting; if a new price point is too close to the previous one, it is ignored. This ensures that only meaningful structural changes in the market are recorded.
2. Structure Refinement Once the initial highs and lows are found, the script performs a secondary cleanup process. It compares these points against each other to ensure they represent true local peaks. If a new high is higher than a previous one, or a new low is lower than a previous one within a certain sequence, it "refines" the path by removing the weaker intermediate points. This results in a clean, jagged progression of price action.
3. Pattern Recognition (The Wolfwave) After cleaning the data, the script looks for a specific sequence of five consecutive peaks (alternating highs and lows). It evaluates these five points to see if they meet the geometric requirements of a "Wolfwave" pattern:
- Buy Pattern: The script checks if the relationship between the first three peaks and the subsequent peaks creates a specific bullish structural alignment.
- Sell Pattern: Similarly, it looks for a specific bearish structural alignment where the highs and lows are arranged in a way that indicates downward momentum.
4. Visual Execution and On-Screen Feedback When the script successfully identifies one of these patterns, it automatically draws visual elements directly on your chart:
- Trend Lines: It connects key points (such as connecting Peak 1 to Peak 3 or Peak 1 to Peak 4) to show you the trend's backbone.
- Numbered Labels: It marks the five identified peaks with numbers (1 through 5) and distinct colors, allowing you to see exactly which price points the script used to make its decision.
- Trade Summary: Finally, it generates a text comment on your screen that provides a summary of the detection, including the timestamp of the pattern and suggested levels for reference.
In short, this tool automates the tedious task of manually identifying complex geometric patterns, visually mapping out the "skeleton" of the market's movement to help traders spot high-probability structural shifts.
