Add a Chart Bubble when 50SMA crosses below 100SMA

[Branch]

I would like to have have a bubble show on my chart when the 50MA crosses below the 100MA; the bubble text will be state "Short". Can anyone help me with this?

Adjust the inputs to your liking.

# Moving Average Crossover With Arrows, Alerts, Crossing Count and Bubble at Cross
# Mobius
# Chat Room Request 01.25.2017

input price = close;
input fastLength = 20;
input slowLength = 50;
input averageType = AverageType.EXPONENTIAL;

plot FastMA = MovingAverage(averageType, price, fastLength);
plot SlowMA = MovingAverage(averageType, price, slowLength);
FastMA.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(1));
SlowMA.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(2));

plot ArrowUp = if FastMA crosses above SlowMA
               then low
               else double.nan;
     ArrowUP.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Arrow_UP);
     ArrowUP.SetLineWeight(3);
     ArrowUP.SetDefaultColor(Color.Green);
plot ArrowDN = if FastMA crosses below SlowMA
               then high
               else double.nan;
     ArrowDN.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Arrow_DOWN);
     ArrowDN.SetLineWeight(3);
     ArrowDN.SetDefaultColor(Color.Red);
Alert(ArrowUp, " ", Alert.Bar, Sound.Chimes);
Alert(ArrowDN, " ", Alert.Bar, Sound.Bell);
def countUP = if FastMA crosses above SlowMA
              then 1
              else if FastMA > SlowMA
                   then countUP[1] + 1
              else if ArrowDN
                   then 0
                   else countUP[1];
AddLabel(1, "Count UP = " + countUP, color.white);
def CrossBar = if FastMA crosses SlowMa
               then barNumber()
               else double.nan;
AddChartBubble(barNumber() == HighestAll(CrossBar), FastMA, "Cross", color.cyan);
# End Code

Thank you BenTen. Will do! Thanks again.

Can you teach me how to alter the code, so that it gives a alert, when 50EMA cross 75MA?

 

[horserider]

input averageType2 = averageType.SIMPLE;

Then apply averageType2 to the plot of your choice

 

[RoyalBlue]

I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean... I'm a beginner sorry... can you help me out?

input averageType2 = averageType.SIMPLE;

Then apply averageType2 to the plot of your choice

 

[horserider]

You said you wanted to be taught. So look where averagetype is used in the study. And change the averagtype for the plot you want to change. Looks like you wanted a 50 EMA cross of 75 SMA. So think how you would do that.

 

[RoyalBlue]

don't need help with that part exactly, I mean, like for example I just want to alert, when SMA(A) cross EMA(B).
like a message alert, so how do i go about it?... like can you guide me a bit?

Please be clearer in what you want.
Alert(FastMA crosses SlowMa, "", Alert.BAR, Sound.Bell);

@BenTen I looked but I might be missing it , Is there an alert that could let me know any stock that touches the 20 day MA ? Thanks

 

[BenTen]

@Buckbull You can setup a scanner and save it as a watchlist.

Here is the thinkScript code for the scanner:

close crosses SimpleMovingAvg("length" = 20)."SMA"

 

[Buckbull]

@BenTen You pulled through again !! Thank you

 

[Buckbull]

How did you guys learn how to write script ? Trial and error ? A class? Self taught ? I want to learn can you point me in a direction ? Thanks

@Buckbull hang in there! This forum is the best forum I ever been apart of and I have been at this since TD Ameritrade brought/partnered with ThinkOrSwim. And I am just now learning the scripting (I have been wasting time doing other things in my life). BenTen provided you a great link.
