Introduction to the Elliott Wave Oscillator Indicator

The Elliott Wave Oscillator indicator technically is the difference between a 5-period and 35-period simple moving average (SMA) based on the close of each candlestick.

It’s helpful in determining where an Elliott wave ends and a new one starts. In other words, determining when the market price movement changes its direction (a reversal point) to form an Elliott wave. It is achieved by presenting EWO values in the form of a histogram’s bars.

The indicator is displayed in a separate window placed just below the main trading chart.

Additionally, it will place Elliot Waves legs directly on the chart.

It fits all kinds of timeframes and currency pairs.

The default settings can be modified directly from the input tab. Feel free to experiment with the settings and parameters to fit your personal preferences.

Simplified methods to read EWO are the following:

Positive EWO value

1) Strengthening trend OR
2) Weakening downtrend

Negative EWO value

2) Strengthening downtrend OR
3) Weakening uptrend
