Repaints AGAIG Best Trading Chart Setup For ThinkOrSwim

Repaints
Hello Sir! As a new trader (well...new to trying to day trade) I love what you've created. Working still to understand all of the components and what they are telling me. I have a question though. I have another chart style that I've created that I like and understand. I'm trying to apply all of your studies to a new chart view that has two charts in the same tab. Mine above and yours below. I understand mine and want to be able to watch the two in tandem to help me learn yours. I have placed all of your studies in the new chart in the order they appear in the chart that popped up when I opened your shared chart. I APPLY changes after I add each item to make sure that each item is working correctly. All goes perfectly well until I add the NO ARROWS study. So I removed that study to get back to normal and then I tried to add the COLOR TREND LINE study and all went crazy again. I then removed that and added the remainder of the studies in the list and all was fine. I've added an image of what happens when I add all of the studies that work in my created chart. It doesn't look exactly like yours...but it's close. I imagine more tweaking of settings. I've also added an image of what happens when NO ARROWS and COLOR TREND LINE are added. If you have any suggestions, or if you know how to add your shared chart to a two chart view while keeping everything in tact instead of it creating a popout chart, I would greatly appreciate it.

My view when I add all working studies:

My view if I also add NO ARROWS and COLOR TREND LINE
View attachment 21938Thank you!

The chart setup has some bad code, which is charting those boolean values down on the zero line.
For now, please use this workaround:

@csricksdds. Just wanted to drop a note of appreciation. I have totally connected with your chart. I just completed 20 trades. 85% success on SPY/QQQ and mag 7 stocks using the Long/Short signal or 8/20 cloud cross alone. looking forward to refining my skills with it even further. Again, thanks!
I have to agree. It is awesome.
 
IMO, instead of using the 8/20 cloud use the black flag fts - swing arm indicator it provides better support and resistance

This chart is offered as an educational and trading tool.
The philosophy of the As Good As IT Gets chart setups is to keep it basic and simple.
The use of moving averages fit into that philosophy.

Which support & resistance you use, is determined by personal preference and your strategy.
Yes, your suggestion is true. You can use the swing arm, which is essentially the ToS ATR Trailing Stop Indicator
It is not possible to determine from your post that the Trailing Stop is better.
To have that conversation with members, it will help if you provide an annotated chart image with the "better" confluence highlighted and a shared chart link, so members can see on their app, what you are seeing on your app.

Thank you, for your active participation.

Updated!
The shared chart link has been updated in the first post: http://tos.mx/!mPuNL9nn
The code has been tweaked to optimize the use of resources.
NONE of the functionality of the chart changed!


Keep in mind: Each time, you import a shared chart link, you are adding custom indicators to your library, potentially creating a lag into the performance of your charts.

I enter a trade when my bubbles and red/green arrows are in agreement. My suggestion would be for you to paper trade until you are comfortable with what you are seeing? Remember I use a 5 Min chart and day trade the SPY or QQQ with 0 DTE - you might want to look at one of your favorite stocks and trade it a few days out before expiration to get a feel for how things are working?
I also like the spy. Can you post an enter and exit you did in the past? What do you mean by bubbles? Also when would you exit? Thanks

First of all, thank you so much for sharing this visual representation of the chart. I am also a visual person and would prefer not to spend too much time analyzing the chart before entering a trade. In your previous statement, when the bubbles and red/green arrows are in agreement, you're entering a trade. When you refer to bubbles, are you referring to the long/short bubbles or the labels on the top of the chart? I would really appreciate it if you could provide a list of criteria you look for an entry and exit. A screenshot or video further explaining would be really nice.

Howdy from TX. Been trading for about 1.5 years. I like this chart BUT how do I replicate it in a 2x2 grid for each ticker within the 2x2 grid? I am used to importing strategies into a chart. Still learning the nuances. Thanks for the great chart!

I installed the script. I removed the code ref to UK market. SEE ATTACHED, Please see my time (lower right corner) and the times shown at the bottom of charts with your code being used. Has this happened to anyone else that has installed your code?

It's hard for me to tell but it looks like both the SPY and TSLA charts stopped at 20.00 for the weekend?
 
No, times were different when I was trading all day 21 Jun.

Maybe Ben Ten, Merry Day or one of the administrative team can help you. It looks like the UK lines all showed up at the same times on the block charts you sent but I'm not aware of any problem? Sorry
 
For the vertical lines: Is it possible to add 2.0 to the code (different color)?
I would like to see 2.0 as well as 2.5.
I tired to play with it but I can't figure out how to do it.

Thank you,
Don

Here is code for a 2.0 Using Pink and Light Green for the 2.0....if you need an indicator link instead of code, let me know?

##Code: AGAIG-Vertical Lines 2.0 SD
declare upper;

input atrreversal = 2.0;

def priceh = MovingAverage(AverageType.EXPONENTIAL, high, 5);
def pricel = MovingAverage(AverageType.EXPONENTIAL, low, 5);

def EIL = ZigZagHighLow("price h" = priceh, "price l" = pricel, "percentage reversal" = .01, "absolute reversal" = .05, "atr length" = 5, "atr reversal" = atrreversal).lastL;
def EIH = ZigZagHighLow("price h" = priceh, "price l" = pricel, "percentage reversal" = .01, "absolute reversal" = .05, "atr length" = 5, "atr reversal" = atrreversal).lastH;

DEF signaldown = !isNAN(EIH);

AddVerticalLine(signaldown, "EXT UP +2.0 SD", Color.Pink);
Alert(signaldown, "Price crossing above +2.0 SD", Alert.Bar, Sound.Ring);


DEF signalrevBot = !isNaN(EIL);

AddVerticalLine(signalrevBot, "EXT DOWN -2.0 SD", Color.Light_Green);
Alert(signalrevbot, "Price crossing below -2.0 SD", Alert.Bar, Sound.Ring);

#End Code
 
They are overwriting one another. Is it possible to put them in the same indicator and have 2.0 show when it triggers and 2.5 show when it triggers?


1. Is this standard Deviations or ATR?
2. Is it okay if we try to put this into one indicator and use if statements to paint when different levels are reached?

The 2.0 should show first and then overwrite if it also goes to 2.5

ATR Reversals
