Multi-timeframe (MTF) Moving Average Indicator for ThinkorSwim

[tradetollive]

Maybe if you smooth the moving averages

can you give an example, if you see the first picture is the closest that i can get to the MTF,

 

[J007RMC]

Ironically, I find myself moving away from moving averages and onto ATR, regression, vwap and pivots seems to have opened up and whole new world for me..

 

[horserider]

Sorry guess a bad idea. I do not know how to do it.

Ironically, I find myself moving away from moving averages and onto ATR, regression, vwap and pivots seems to have opened up and whole new world for me..

i use those too, i need the MTF for bigger time frame, some of the EMA in bigger time frame are very important

 

[jon]

hi can someone help me add paint bar to MTF. I want to paint the bar from the higher time frame to the lower to be more visual to the trend. Thank you
This is the link that I found but for some reason its not working.

A quick visual inspection shows that the code is duplicated - look around line 124. You will see the header there again. On top of that some of the really long commented lines seems to be broken across multiple statements and so the code editor seems to think those are code when they are in fact comments.

Error in this code 94through 97 can this get updated ? thanks

Just quick fix I hope. Removed vertical lines as did not want to spend time on it.

IS there a way to add sound to this? when the price touches the EMA it will allow you to use a custom sound?

 

[BenTen]

@Parker427 You can change the color of the candles via your ToS Settings. As for your second request, it's on the first page of this thread.

 

[HighBredCloud]

Can any proficient coder in here please add on to this script that @BenTen posted on page 1 the ability to change the MA color when it is going UP and DOWN...kind of like how Hull MA changes color? Would that take long? I would like to be able to change the colors myself from UP and DOWN...so please no allow for that in the code...Thanks in advance guys.

EDIT: I think I got it...but it looks terrible IMO...Is there a way that some sort of smoothing could be implemented so that it looks half way descent on the color change? I know @horserider was able to do something similar with Trend Magic indicator at least the color part...I have some scripts that have smoothing in them for any coder that would like to try...this is above me.

# MTF Moving Average

input Period = AggregationPeriod.HOUR;
input AvgType = AverageType.EXPONENTIAL;
input Length = 50;
input priceclose = close;

plot AVG = MovingAverage(AvgType, close(period = Period), Length);
AVG.setdefaultcolor(color.yellow);

AVG.AssignValueColor(if AVG > AVG[1] then Color.GREEN else Color.RED);

 

[Dan205]

Is this possible on thinkorswim maybe someone has posted the code already on here?

For example... 5min moving avg on a 1min chart... If anyone can help that would be nice

Search please. And find.

This is color coded to show the change in direction of the moving average...

# MTF Moving Average

input Period = AggregationPeriod.FIFTEEN_MIN;
input AvgType = AverageType.HULL;
input Length = 20;
input priceclose = close;

plot AVG = MovingAverage(AvgType, close(period = Period), Length);
AVG.SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);

def sState2 = if AVG > AVG[1] then 100 else -100;
AVG.AssignValueColor(if sState2 == 100 then Color.MAGENTA else Color.CYAN);
AVG.SetLineWeight(2);

 

[Playstation]

Would it be possible to use the same logic and do a Multi-Ticks MA version?

 

[sham]

Hi,

Is it possible to add lower time frame EMA in higher time frame chart. Eg- 30 min 200 EMA irrespective of the time-frame I am using in chart.

below code works as long as I am in lower time frame than 30 min otherwise it shows NA. I would like to see 30min EMA in Daily chart.
input Period = aggregationPeriod.THIRTY_MIN;
plot eema = MovAvgExponential(close(period=period),200);

 

[BenTen]

@sham You can display moving average from a higher timeframe on a lower timeframe, but not the other way around.

 

[e4williams]

I want to apply a moving average from a much higher timeframe onto a 10 minute chart however ToS won't allow a moving average greater than 2000. Is there anyway to bypass this restriction?

One of the coding savants here might have a different answer but if nothing else this is where you can just set up a flexible grid with the same stock in both charts, set up the first using the 10 minute chart and the other with the time frame of the moving average you want. Then click the synchronize crosshairs in the settings box. It will show you in both time frames where you are sitting in relation to that MA.
