SwellBeaconEven Better SineWave cycle-turn timing · Volume-Weighted baseline · ATR risk
The Idea
Most entries chase price after the easy part of a move is already gone. SwellBeacon waits instead for a cycle low inside an uptrend (or a cycle high inside a downtrend) — the calm moment right before the tide turns.
It reads the market rhythm with a leading wave line and only acts on the side the real, volume-weighted crowd is leaning.
Signal Logic
Upside · LONG
Wave curls up through its lower −threshold and price sits above a volume-weighted baseline.Downside · SHORT
Wave curls down through its upper +threshold and price sits below the baseline.Execution Flow
Core Components
Even Better SineWave
A high-pass + super-smoother filter that compresses the dominant cycle into a leading −1…+1 wave. Turns mark rhythm tops and bottoms.Volume-Weighted Baseline (VWMA)
Heavier-volume candles carry more weight, so this line reflects the true direction of committed flow.Parameters
