The **WaveTrend V4** indicator combines MACD and WaveTrend oscillators to identify trends and potential reversal points. Here's a simplified guide to using it:
---
### **Key Components** 1. **WaveTrend Lines** - **Green Line (WT1):** Fast-moving oscillator. - **Red Line (WT2):** Slow-moving signal line. - **Overbought (-60)/Oversold (60):** Horizontal dashed lines marking extremes.
2. **MACD Lines** - **Blue Line (MACD):** Standard MACD line. - **Purple Line (Smoothed MACD):** Smoothed version of the MACD. - **Orange Line (Signal):** MACD signal line.
### **How to Use It** 1. **Trend Identification** - **Buy Signal:** Green background + WT1 crosses **above** WT2 (especially if both are below -60). - **Sell Signal:** Red background + WT1 crosses **below** WT2 (especially if both are above 60). - **Indecision:** Yellow background – avoid taking positions until trend clarifies.
3. **MACD Confirmation** - Look for alignment between the **smoothed MACD** (purple) crossing the **signal line** (orange) and the WaveTrend trend color.
4. **Divergence** - **Bullish Divergence:** Price makes lower lows, but WT1 forms higher lows. - **Bearish Divergence:** Price makes higher highs, but WT1 forms lower highs.

### **Pro Tips** - Combine with price action (support/resistance) for higher accuracy. - Avoid trading in "yellow" zones (indecision). - Use stop-losses to manage risk during false signals.
This indicator works best in **trending markets** – be cautious in sideways conditions!
