Repaints AGAIG Visual Options Trading Chart for ThinkOrSwim

Repaints
I use you ASAIT chart and Im having an issue. When I have the 15 minute chart up, it shows the cloud and arrows, but " flashes" the candlesticks. They do not stay on the chart. Any thoughts on how I can fix this? Its giving me migraines. Seriously. I have a short video of it happening. Ill try to attach it. Thank you Mike I couldnt attach it.

I was able to take a screen shot and attach it. As you can see there are no candles. They do flash on and off. Any thoughts? Many thanks Mike

You are correct.
As stated in the 1st sentence this chart setup
https://usethinkscript.com/threads/agaig-trading-path-chart-for-thinkorswim.18961/
There are no candles provided or shown; in order to highlight price action.


Good News!
The other AGAIG Chart Set-ups do have candles.
@csricksdds provides these many formats so beginning traders can find the one that works best for them.

Here are all the AGAIG Chart Setups sorted by popularity. Find the one the works for you:

I see the question has been answered - I did do a chart or two without candles but they will flash in the background - look at some of the others above (we want no migraines)

Thank you thank you!! Mike
 
thank you for the tremendous work in this forum. I'd like to ask if this is your current chart setup, are all 4 criteria must be the same to enter a trade? how do you handle the lower bar appearing and disappearing sometimes within minutes?

Yes, repainters repaint. Appearing and disappearing sometimes within minutes.

What time frame are you using? I like for at least two indicators to be in agreement. I will place a trade in/out if the long/short and lower bar agree. But they will repaint according to change in stock movement…

same as in 1st post shared setup, i know the lower bars repaint, but are they a must to enter a trade along with other indicators?

The lower bars are set to 2.0 ATR and the upper Long/Short Bubbles at 1.75 ATR and my preference is when both show but the market can still change direction.
 
Using scan and the dual charting from AGAIG, I modified by adding some of my favorites
(Fractals and DTE ADX) Combining these 4 to 5 signals to validate and make trades -
They are spot on - Thanks

Hi, thank you for this great chart...I have been using it this morning, and a quick question...how do you handle what I think is a repaint? EG the signal for short comes up, and then a couple of bars later disappears. I attempted to have multiple signals confirm, but had it happen to me a couple of times. Apologies if this has already been asked... and thank you again.

Yes, all the threads in the forum with prefixes of repaint; are repainters.
All the AGAIG setups repaint.

PSAR = Parabolic Stop and Reverse and is the last time the candles changed direction to a point higher/lower
can i ask what the significance of when the last time direction changed (PSAR).. like if its been a many candles (high number vs low) its more likely to have a reversal? extra confluence? THANKS so much!!

Historically is has been shown that stocks tend to change direction every 6-10 candles in all time frames. The PSAR shows that change in direction. Change in direction takes place in all time frames and is called the ups and downs of stock direction. Thus a 1 min time frame will typically change every 6-10 minutes; a 5 min every 30 - 50 min, a 10 min every 60 - 100 minutes, etc. It's like waves moving out from a rock dropped in a pond. This is not holy grail, rather an indication (and we like indicators) that show market movement?

When learning to trade options right​
Pick a chart that’s good by sight
My AGAIG charts are good to trade
As with good indicators they are made
So, if you want to elevate your wins
You should take my charts for a few good spins!

I find this an easy chart to trade.

My Put trades are placed when I get a lower Red Bar, a Red Traffic Light and MTF shows longer time frames Red as well.

I also view my chart arrows for direction. A Call would just be the opposite (Green Bar, Green Traffic Light, Green MTFs and Green Arrows on Chart).

I find my best two trades of the day are usually between 10:00 - Noon when two or more indicators align. Also note if trading is above/below VWAP and/or 20 EMA White Line.
Watch for crossovers of the 20 EMA.
This Saved my life. Not kidding. I thought life was hopeless until I found your indicator here. This works. Just have to set up my ThinkOfSwim correctly, so that I can see the red bar or green bar right next to the Trading buttons. METAL helped a lot showing us the correct way to set up the watchlist, and what and how to use the watchlist. But this indicator here that you have is GOLD.

@csricksdds Hi bro,

Thank you for your insightful sharing! I have been following your threads, and I truly appreciate the valuable contributions you’ve made to traders worldwide.

Unfortunately, I no longer have access to the TOS platform, which means I can't use the share functions. If possible, could you (or any generous members here) kindly share the full scripts? I would love to study them to enhance my visual charts and improve my trading strategies. I hope this isn't too much to ask.

Although I am no longer using TOS, I remain active in the UseThinkScript community and continue learning from everyone here. One of my favorite mottos is: "We all learn until the day we die."

Thank you once again for your time and generosity. Wishing everyone a successful trading journey!

I think if you will look under AGAIG or AsGoodAsItGets Indicators in the search button above you will find posted the code for my indicators (as I have usually posted the codes first). If there is one you would like that the code is not posted please let me know?
