Frequently Asked Questions

Has Wavetrend 3D been ported to Python?​

Yes. A Python implementation by Artnaz replicates the core logic of Wavetrend 3D. While it retains the multi-dimensional concept, remember that any backtesting or live trading environment may behave differently than Pine Script on TradingView.

Why are crosses plotted one candle prior to the actual cross?​

It's mostly an aesthetic choice, keeping the circles aligned visually with their respective oscillator cross. If you prefer signals on the current bar, adjust the Offset to zero, but be aware that real-time bar developments can shift the final cross outcome.

Does Wavetrend 3D repaint?​

Not in the conventional sense. Once a bar closes, the indicator locks its value. However, like any indicator, new incoming data on open bars can shift current oscillator readings. Rely on confirmed closes if repainting is a concern.

How do length and scaling settings affect each oscillator?​

  • Scaling: Adjusts how widely the oscillators fluctuate. Larger scaling increases the amplitude, making them more "sensitive"; smaller scaling narrows the range.
  • Length: Defines the number of bars used in calculations. Longer lengths yield smoother lines with fewer signals; shorter lengths are more reactive and produce more frequent signals.
