WPO Modified [BackQuant]The Wave Period Oscillator (WPO), developed by Akram El Sherbini, is a sophisticated technical analysis tool that offers traders a dynamic way to interpret market cycles. Its design is inspired by the natural ebb and flow of markets, which often follow cyclical patterns driven by underlying economic, political, and psychological factors. The oscillator's unique contribution to market analysis lies in its ability to smooth out the "noise" inherent in daily price movements, thus providing a clearer view of the market's rhythmic fluctuations over time.

El Sherbini's WPO is grounded in the concept of wave period analysis, which suggests that financial markets move in waves or cycles. The oscillator translates these movements into a visual tool that oscillates above and below a central zero line. Peaks and troughs on the oscillator correspond to the crests and troughs of market price waves, providing a visual representation of the market's heartbeat.
The WPO is not merely a tool for identifying trends but also for detecting shifts in market momentum. It does this through a mathematical model that measures divergence—when the direction of the oscillator deviates from the direction of price movement. Such divergences can be precursors to potential reversals or continuations in the market, offering traders advance notice of significant changes in price direction.
Further refining its utility, the WPO incorporates methods for calculating divergence that are sensitive to the unique conditions of different markets and securities. This includes adjusting for volatility and market velocity, allowing the oscillator to provide relevant signals regardless of the market environment.
In practical terms, traders use the WPO to time their entries and exits with greater precision. When the oscillator shows a high peak or a deep trough, it can signal that a market is potentially overbought or oversold, respectively. The WPO's smoothing property ensures that these signals are not just reactionary to short-term price spikes or drops, but indicative of more substantial, sustained movements.
By providing a more measured and smoothed analysis of market cycles, the WPO helps to filter out insignificant price movements and focus on the ones that matter—those that indicate a significant wave of buying or selling pressure. This can be particularly valuable in the cryptocurrency markets, where volatility is high, and traditional indicators may struggle to provide clear signals.
For traders and analysts alike, the Wave Period Oscillator represents a convergence of technical precision and market psychology. By focusing on the periodic nature of market movements, it aligns traders with the rhythm of the markets, potentially leading to more harmonious trading decisions that are in step with the market's natural waves.

Weighted Price OscillatorThis is the study version of the Weighted Price Oscillator (STRATEGY) indicator.
Weighted Price Oscillator is an unique indicator that shows the relationship between two custom variables that trigger signals upon specific conditions. When WPO (short for weighted price oscillator ) crosses over the signal or zero line, it creates a buy signal and conversely below the signal or zero line, it generates a take profit signal. All of which are provided that the specific conditions are met.
Inside the script's options, the following options are: signal sensitivity, enable signal background color, and take profit percentage. The signal sensitivity allows you to adjust the script's trigger sensitivity, so that the script can fire signals appropriate for a specific timeframe. Enabling signal background color will provide a visual on the oscillator when a buy or take profit signal is being created. And lastly, the take profit percentage option is for configuring the trade size percentage of which you want to take profit with.

Intro
The indicator is based on Akram El Sherbini's article "Time Cycle Oscillators" published in IFTA journal 2018. The third in a series of 4 time cycle indicators I will be publishing.
The WPO is a short-term oscillator that measures the buying and selling period of price cycles over a certain time interval. The leading oscillator indicates a rise in buying period when it moves above the zero line and a rise in selling period when it moves below the zero line.
Description
Centerline Crossover: A bullish centerline crossover occurs when the WPO line moves above the zero level to turn positive. A bearish centerline crossover occurs when the WPO line moves below the zero level to turn negative. When bulls are in control, the price rally begins and the average of the bull’s period T increases to drive the WPO line above the centerline. A buy signal is subsequently triggered. When the bulls start to loose power, prices move sideways and the average period decreases. In this case, the WPO line may flutter near the centerline and cause false signals, whipsaws. To avoid the whipsaws occurring on the centerline, the following trading tactics are proposed.
TL:DR
Bullish signals are generated when WPO crosses over 0
Bearish signals are generated when WPO crosses under 0
OverBought level is 2
OverSold level is -2
ExtremeOB level is 2.7
ExtremeOS level is -2.7
