About the Elliott Wave Oscillator
The Elliott Wave Oscillator Indicator for MT5 converts the principles of Elliott Wave theory into a practical technical oscillator that traders can easily follow.
The indicator appears beneath the main price area and displays colored bars that represent market momentum.
These bars move above and below the zero level, allowing traders to quickly identify shifts in trend direction.
When the oscillator rises above zero, it signals strengthening bullish momentum. When it moves below zero, it indicates increasing bearish pressure.
The indicator can be used for scalping, intraday trading, or trend following strategies depending on the timeframe selected.
Several inputs can be customized including the fast moving average period, slow moving average period, calculation method, and applied price.
These parameters allow traders to fine tune the indicator to match their preferred trading style.

Elliott Wave Oscillator and VIDYA Scalping Strategy MT5
This scalping strategy combines the Elliott Wave Oscillator Indicator with the VIDYA Indicator to capture short-term momentum moves inside a clearly defined trend structure.
The Elliott Wave Oscillator measures market momentum and highlights wave phases through a histogram.
A green histogram bar above the zero level signals bullish momentum and a buy opportunity.
Orange or red bars below the zero level signal bearish momentum and sell pressure.
This helps traders identify when momentum is building or fading in real time.
The VIDYA Indicator defines the main trend direction using a volatility adaptive moving average.
A lime green line indicates a bullish trend, while a deep pink line indicates a bearish trend.
This ensures trades are only taken in the direction of the dominant market structure.
This strategy works best on M5 and M15 charts and is suitable for fast intraday trading on pairs such as EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, GBPJPY, and also gold during London and New York sessions.
Buy Entry Rules
- Wait for the VIDYA line to turn lime green, confirming a bullish trend.
- Wait for the Elliott Wave Oscillator to print a green histogram bar above the zero level.
- Enter a buy trade at the close of the confirmation candle.
- Place stop loss below the most recent swing low or just below the VIDYA line.
- Take profit when the oscillator turns red or orange below zero or when VIDYA turns deep pink.
Sell Entry Rules
- Wait for the VIDYA line to turn deep pink, confirming a bearish trend.
- Wait for the Elliott Wave Oscillator to print a red or orange histogram bar below the zero level.
- Enter a sell trade at the close of the confirmation candle.
- Place stop loss above the most recent swing high or just above the VIDYA line.
