Is there anything that can be done? Seems to work when I change the look back time, but it's also hit or miss.

The underlying issues with this indicator have been covered multiple times within this thread if you've take the time to read it in its entirety... Sometimes reducing the number of symbols in your watchlist helps... Having fewer Custom Watchlist Columns in your scan results sometimes helps... But finding a better indicator is the ultimate solution to the problem... People think this indicator is a panacea or the Holy Grail but it isn't once you understand its shortcomings... So, find a better indicator that doesn't repaint and isn't as complex and you'll have more reliable results...
 
@BenTen & Others - In my TOS the reversal alert/bubble always delay by 5 to 10 min, is this something I'm doing wrong. Any settings that you suggest to fix this?

@kganesh1 At best, Custom Watchlist Columns only update every 3 - 7 minutes, so depending on your aggregation period timeframe it could be even longer... The best you can do to lessen the lag is to reduce your aggregation period timeframe for the Custom Watchlist Column... There is no true fix other than to use a Chart Alert which would be real-time, but at the expense of having to keep a chart open for each symbol... Does this help answer your question...???

@rad14733, Thanks for your response, I'm facing this lag issue in the chart .i.e I'm using 5 min chart and i see a lag of 5 to 10 min which is strange. I agree with you on the watch list which I noticed in the forums. Please advise

There should be no lag for Chart Bubbles unless you are using the wrong indicator for the job... Some indicators intentionally lag in an effort to avoid or at least reduce repainting... That lag would also cause Chart Bubbles to lag... If you were to read all 73 pages of this topic you should be aware of the deficiencies this indicator possesses... I'd say it falls into the wrong tool for the job category...

@rad14733 , thanks for the note, let me closely monitor for few more days and see. Have a great day.
 
I've never been able to get a price color to match indicators and surely not lined up with price action. Something was always off from price action, indicator lag.. etc.. perhaps it's my habit of watching price to much - but isn't that what I'm supposed to do! I've tried slim ribbons, even the macd line with various settings, BOP, SuperTrend CCI, even tried coding a Leledc price color, Also coded a RSM like cloud on BTD percentile with price color. again something was always off... perhaps the use of a neutral three color concept.. Until now - I add the code below to this Trend Reversal. I may have found a keeper.

apologies if someone already posted this.. I admit I didn't go through 73 pages! :)

screenshot doesn't reflect yesterday afternoons great swings.

AssignPriceColor(if isUp then GlobalColor("MyBlue")
else if !isUp then GlobalColor("MyYellow")
else color.current);

 
@BenTen is exactly right! The mega study that @RDMercer posted comprises many different components, notably some variant of what appears to be a Zig Zag High Low Supply Demand study that someone did 4-5 years ago, possibly more. That said, I took a quick look at the study, there are some notable and interesting portions.

The beginning section of the code is some sort of a moving average alignment study, what I have done is to extract the logic and crafted what I'd call a moving average alignment study with bullish and bearish undertones. Candles on the chart would be colored green if there is a bullish state, red if bearish state and yellow if neutral. Also included alerts for state transitions. As this is a complete revamp, I have used internal variables names of my choice to better represent the underlying price action

Enjoy this folks!

Hey @tomsk this indicator doesnt repaint correct? Also i'm in the middle of developing a python BOT as such trying to understand for the equivalent of "CompoundValue" in Python ? Appreciate your input.

@BenTen I have a quick question. How do I remove price after reversal on chat bubble? I was able to change reversal to Buy/Sell but I don't know what I have to remove so the price won't show. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!!
 
@sunnybabu How could you miss that there are over 100 posts in this thread that discusses that this indicator is notorious for repainting?
 
ha @MerryDay - respectfully - I love this indicator - and I don't fully agree it re-paints. it corrects itself sure - like today - there was a green Reversal but only for 2-4 candles as price was bouncing under the 34 ema and then sure enough went away. I find it only 're-paints' in little mini counter trend bounces.. which is super obvious it's about to do and the rest of the time it's very spot on. What I found today as well.. is live candle (ie no bubble) will turn my price color - that the very least gives me indication it's reached a potential reversal.

copy study to a proper text editor - ie notepad++, TextPad, even primalscript..etc. Find "Reversal" which should be on the AddChartBubble Line and then remove "+low" and the "+ high"

then overwrite study with mods
 
@GoldStriple You stated: it only 're-paints' in little mini counter-trends... so you agree it repaints. @sunnybabu is looking to write a python bot which is not going to be able to realize the false signals are "little mini counter-trends".. And therefore needed to know that this study repaints.
HTH

Yes sir that did it, thank you so much.
 
Someone shared this indicator via a thread on Futures forum. I don't know the original name so I called it the reversal indicator. It uses moving averages, ZigZag pattern, and Fibonacci to generate reversal signals on your chart.

One thing to note is that this indicator will repaint. The Buy and Sell signal will disappear if the candlestick closed above or below the stop loss line. You can use that as a trigger point to cut losses early if that happens.

  • Green = Buy Signal Bars
  • Purple = Neutral
  • Red = Sell Signal Bars

Hello, I was reading but I don't think I found it, correct me if someone has already answered this question.

Has anyone managed to translate this indicator into PineScript for tradingView?

I have been trying but the truth is that it is very difficult for me.
 
@Saylarr In all honesty, this is a Thinkscript forum for Thinkorswim and not a Pinescript forum for Tradingview... Have you asked in the Tradingview forums...??? We really shouldn't be expected to translate indicators to another platform, just as we shouldn't be expected to translate indicators from other platforms into Thinkscript... It truly boggles my mind that so many members have such expectations... When I can't figure something out myself I make do without...

I honestly do not share your opinion and honestly I would prefer not to take pointers made in this forum to other forums. But hey if it bothers so much, I'll have to do it. I don't know pinescript forums. Do you have any suggestions?
