TTM_WAVE: TTM Wave

Pending Implementation - Placeholder for John Carter's TTM Wave indicator

Historical Context

John Carter developed TTM Wave as a multi-period MACD composite indicator using Fibonacci-based periods. The indicator displays three "waves" (A, B, C) that help traders identify the alignment of multiple timeframes and the strength of momentum across different cycle lengths.

Algorithm

Wave A (Short-term momentum)

Wave_A1 = EMA(close, 8) - EMA(close, 34)
Wave_A2 = EMA(Wave_A1, 34)

Wave B (Medium-term momentum)

Wave_B1 = EMA(close, 8) - EMA(close, 55)
Wave_B2 = EMA(Wave_B1, 55)

Wave C (Long-term momentum using Fibonacci periods)

e1 = EMA(close, 34)
e2 = EMA(close, 55)
e3 = EMA(close, 89)
e4 = EMA(close, 144)
e5 = EMA(close, 233)
e6 = EMA(close, 377)

Wave_C = e1 + e2 + e3 + e4 + e5 + e6 - 6 * EMA(close, some_avg_period)

Fibonacci Periods

Period Fibonacci
8 F(6)
34 F(9)
55 F(10)
89 F(11)
144 F(12)
233 F(13)
377 F(14)

Outputs

Output Type Description
WaveA double Fast momentum oscillator (red/magenta histogram)
WaveB double Medium momentum oscillator (dark red/magenta histogram)
WaveC double Slow momentum composite (blue histogram)

Trading Interpretation

  1. All waves aligned: Strong trend - ride the move
  2. Wave A diverges from C: Early warning of potential reversal
  3. Waves crossing zero: Momentum shift in progress
  4. Wave C color change: Major cycle direction changing
