The market moves in waves, Trend Waves, Swing Waves, Scalping Waves, Micro Waves, etc. The height of a wave is a measure of how strong that wave was. A strong wave can either be a sign of a trend reversal or the very first impulse that triggers a new trend. This indicator has the ability to display both positive and negative waves at the same time which can help us to find pullbacks within a bigger Trend Wave.
