Repaints AGAIG ZigZag Lower Verticals For ThinkOrSwim

[csricksdds]

Several have asked if there is a way to make the vertical line edition of this indicator thicker, but of course there is not. I would like them thicker as well. In addition to using my upper vertical lines I made a lower Histogram to more easily catch the eye. Even though this indicator will repaint it has been the most accurate indicator I use. I typically day trade the SPY and/or QQQs on a 5 min. Daily Chart, although this is AsGoodAsItGets on most stocks or ETFs you trade.

Here is the code:

# AsGoodAsItGets Lower Indicator
#CSR Buy/Sell Arrows with Short/Long Bubbles

#Updated 3/16/24 by C. Ricks

declare lower;

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;

plot signaldown = !isNAN(EIH);
signaldown.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.SQUARED_HISTOGRAM);
signaldown.DefineColor("signaldown", Color.Red);
AddVerticalLine(!isNAN(EIH),"SHORT", color.red,curve.long_dash);

plot signalrevBot = !isNaN(EIL);

Signalrevbot.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.SQUARED_HISTOGRAM);
signalrevBot.DefineColor("signalrevBot", Color.GREEN);
AddVerticalLine(!isNAN(EIL),"LONG", color.Green,curve.long_dash);

##End Code

Looks amazing for options trading.

.

I made substantial improvements!!!!!!!!!!

I added labels that tell you how many shares you can purchase with your budget at the plot lines.

I added Long & Short profit labels that tell you how much money you'll make if you buy with your budget at the bullish plot line, and how much money you would have made by shorting with your budget on the bearish plot line.


I also made the plot lines say what price they're at.

Hi csricksdds, does the lower histograms repaints? If it doesn't, can we get a watchlist code? I tried to modify code for the watchlist, but it fails to load with below message.

Yes, all Indicators that have a prefix of REPAINTs on the forum repaint.

No Scans, No Watchlists, No Conditional Orders for repainters.
Schwab limits the amount of resources available in scans, watchlists, and conditional orders. This script and all other zigzag, high-low study's requirements exceeds the maximum resources available.
Meaning, most repainters is too complicated for use in any of the ToS widgets. They can only be used to plot on the chart.
