Updated [volfgang] wave.lite

The wave.lite indicator is a simplified version of my WAVE momentum tracker indicator, designed to help traders identify market trends by analysing price action across multiple timeframes. As a simplified version of my full WAVE script, it focuses on core momentum signals and confluence for the current timeframe only.
Quick Summary
The Lite WAVE features a signal line that alternates between Red (bearish) and Blue (bullish).
It turns Blue when the WAVE line crosses above the signal and holds for 1 bar.
It turns Red when the WAVE line crosses below the signal and holds for 1 bar.
Under The Hood
The Lite WAVE aggregates close, high, low, and EMA data over a set period to measure recent price extremes and midpoint deviations, emphasizing newer action. It calculates averages for high-to-high and low-to-low differences to derive the WAVE value, smoothed for trend determination.
This lite version omits advanced divergence, specialist info box, confluence scanner and signal features from the full WAVE, focusing on momentum tracking for simplicity. It's suitable for all markets and assets; always combine with other analysis—past performance doesn't guarantee future results.
