The Wave Minor Indicator provides clear buy and sell signals through its histogram—above zero for bullish signals and below zero for bearish.
The Zero Lag Moving Average identifies the trend direction: price above the MA confirms bullish momentum, and price below confirms bearish momentum.
Combining these indicators allows traders to capture intraday trends efficiently.
This strategy works well on M15 and H1 charts and is suitable for major and minor currency pairs.
Buy Entry Rules
- Confirm that the price is above the Zero Lag Moving Average, indicating a bullish trend.
- Check that the Wave Minor histogram is above zero, signaling a buy opportunity.
- Enter a buy trade at the current market price.
- Place the stop loss below the most recent swing low or slightly below the Zero Lag MA.
- Set the take profit at the next resistance level or a fixed intraday target (20–35 pips), depending on volatility.
Sell Entry Rules
- Confirm that the price is below the Zero Lag Moving Average, indicating a bearish trend.
- Check that the Wave Minor histogram is below zero, signaling a sell opportunity.

- Works well for intraday trading and capturing short-term trends.

Drawbacks

- Requires patience and discipline, as waiting for alignment between the MA trend and histogram may result in missed early entries.
- Not ideal for extremely short-term scalping below M5 due to potential noise in the histogram and moving average.
