GOOD AFTERNOON CODERS,


I have the current code that I'm looking to change so that it displays "Bullish" when price is above the 50ema on the 10 min time frame and "Bearish" when price is below the 10 min time frame. In addition to that, I would like an alert sent when these two conditions are met. I will put the code below.



input EMA_1_Length = 50; #exponential
input EMA_1_closeType = ohlc4;
def EMA_1_avg = ExpAverage(EMA_1_closeType, EMA_1_Length);

def pricevs50ema = ( 100 * (close - EMA_1_avg) / EMA_1_avg);
plot pricev50ema = If (IsNaN(EMA_1_avg), 0 , pricevs50ema);


pricev50ema.AssignValueColor(Color.BLACK );

AssignBackgroundColor(if pricevs50ema > 0 then createcolor(177,213,242) else createcolor(255,234,202) );
 
your actual request implies the PRICE CLOSE is above/below... i answered what your actual written request was.

for future reference, aside from the label, the scan you wanted could have been done with the built in "condition wizard" inside of thinkorswim. some sime 15-30min videos on you tube show how easy "condition wizard" scan is to use. however i made the code for you below.

* REMEMBER TO SET AGGREGATION TO 10 minutes (many tutorials online and on youtube)*

Alerts are made using the alert feature on thinkorswim. (many tutorials also available online on youtube)


here you go as a scan:

Bullish scan
Code:
declare lower;
input price = close;
input length = 50;
input displace = 0;
def AvgExp1 = ExpAverage(price[-displace], length);
plot scan = close >AvgExp1;

Bearish Scan
Code:
declare lower;
input price = close;
input length = 50;
input displace = 0;
def AvgExp1 = ExpAverage(price[-displace], length);
plot scan = close <AvgExp1;

here you go as a column:

Code:
declare lower;
input price = close;
input length = 50;
input displace = 0;
def AvgExp1 = ExpAverage(price[-displace], length);

AddLabel(yes, if close>AvgExp1 then  "Bullish " else if close<Avgexp1 then "Bearish" else "Neither", if close>AvgExp1 then  color.green else if close<Avgexp1 then color.red else color.gray );

Awesome work. Thank you so much. Do these scans send immediately when price closes above the 10 min 50EMA?

Scans update every 3 to 4 minutes.
The above scan code is set to trigger for all results of close above moving average.
NO, it does not scan for close crossing above moving average.

If that is your intent.
Replace this:
plot scan = close >AvgExp1;
With this:
plot scan = close crosses above AvgExp1;

you asked for when price is above, you didnt ask for when price crosses above, however Usethinkscript has the solution for what you want. as a watch list its scans every 1-4 minutes depending on server load balancing. if you scan manually using stock hacker then it gives up to date results.

I definitely should've specified that instead of what I initially stated. Thank you again. Coding is very interesting.
 
I would like a code to show when price is above the 20 sma Color yellow and when price is below 20 sma color red

you didn't say WHAT you want to see change color?

i made a guess and made this.
it changes the color of the average line

Code:
def na = double.nan;
def bn = barnumber();
def data = close;

#input avg1_type = AverageType.exponential;
input avg1_type = AverageType.Simple;
input avg1_length = 20;
def avg1 = MovingAverage(avg1_type, data, avg1_length );

plot z = avg1;
z.AssignValueColor(if close > avg1 then color.yellow else color.red);
#z.SetDefaultColor(Color.cyan);
z.setlineweight(2);
z.hidebubble();
