Sniper Signal

- Description

The Sniper Signal is a sophisticated technical indicator designed for traders seeking to maximize accuracy in identifying key turning points within a market. This indicator is built on a dual approach, combining the power of the Wave Trend Momentum Oscillator (WTMO) with the robustness of a long-term Simple Moving Average (SMA), making it an ideal tool for trading in dynamic and trending market environments.

The WTMO is known for its ability to capture momentum and underlying price direction, providing early signals of trend changes. By smoothing price movements using an exponential moving average (EMA), the WTMO accurately identifies when price is overextending in one direction, which may precede a reversal.

The 100-period SMA acts as a critical trend filter, ensuring that trades are only made in the direction of the prevailing market flow. This approach ensures that signals generated by the WTMO align with the long-term trend, filtering out false signals that can appear in sideways or low volatility markets.

The Sniper Signal is not just an indicator that marks entries and exits; it is a complete strategy in itself, designed for traders who understand the importance of trading in the direction of the prevailing trend. Buy signals are generated only when momentum is at its lowest point (WT1 < -5) and the price is supported by a confirmed uptrend (price above the SMA). Conversely, sell signals are only triggered when momentum is at extremely high levels (WT1 > 5) and the market shows clear signs of weakness (price below the SMA).

This combination of momentum and trend analysis creates a balanced approach that allows traders to capture significant moves in the market, while minimizing exposure to unnecessary risk. The Sniper Signal is particularly effective in markets with well-defined trends, where the key to success lies in entering the market at optimal points and exiting before a significant reversal occurs.

In summary, the Sniper Signal is an advanced tool designed for serious traders looking to take advantage of the combination of momentum and trend to execute high probability trades in moving markets.

- How to use the script?

The Sniper Signal indicator code is written in Pine Script, the native programming language of TradingView. To use this indicator, users must copy the code and paste it into the Pine Script editor within the TradingView platform. Once they have done this, they can save and add the script to their chart to begin displaying buy and sell signals directly on their price charts.

When using the Sniper Signal, traders should pay attention to the signals represented by the triangles on the chart: an upward-facing blue triangle indicates a possible buying opportunity, while a downward-facing red triangle suggests a possible selling opportunity. It is crucial that users also watch the 100-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), shown as a gray line on the chart, to ensure that trades align with the overall market trend. This helps filter out less reliable signals and improves the accuracy of trading decisions.

- Open-source reuse

The indicator code is based on common and widely used concepts in technical analysis, such as the Wave Trend Momentum Oscillator (WTMO) and the Simple Moving Average (SMA). These components are not proprietary and are part of the general knowledge in the trading community, which means that many developers can create their own versions based on these same principles.
