Archived: Supertrend Indicator by Mobius for ThinkorSwim

[rjam2020]

Can Supertrend be auto traded as is on TOS ?

Opens the first trade......then....... closes and opens in the other direction ?

just let it run on it's own

@rjam2020 We already provided a backtesting code for this indicator, however, ToS does not support auto trade.

Hi all, I'm new at ThinkorSwim, I've been using another platform. I'm trying to use the Super Trend indicator, but can't find any way to get rid of the price bubble. I don't really need them, anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks, WayneG

Hey, thanks for sharing this study! I'm having a small issue. Is there anyway to extend the price bubble further away from the candles? It seems to be blocking several candles around it. Or maybe make it more translucent ? Whatever you think would work and be best to still be able to see the candles.

Thanks!

@Wasontilt You can also use this version here which replaces the bubbles with up and down arrows.

I started using the codes for study and watchlist.
I have a question about the numbers in the watchlist column.
What are they representing and how do you use them?
(I created 2 columns - 1 min chart, 5 min chart, both excluding extended hours trading sessions)
I read the old posts about these numbers but I didn't understand...
Can somebody help me with this?

Hi @Jenna H. Please go to imgur.com and get the picture code and post a screenshot of what the problem is. Please place it in the Questions thread. Thanks, and Welcome.

Thank you @markos for the instructions! I found the tutorial on how to post images and I am reposting my question.

I started using the code for study and watchlist of supertrend.
I created 2 columns in my watchlist- 1 min chart, 5 min chart, both excluding extended hours trading sessions. I was wondering what these numbers in the columns represent?

Looks like its counting bars since triggered. So red with a 4 would be mean that it turned red 4 (bars,minutes, days, etc) ago

can someone re-post the above watch list code. Thanks

can someone re-post the above watch list code. Thanks

its in post #150 of this thread

Thank you @wtf_dude. I was checking these numbers on the chart throughout the week.

Can anyone alter the code so that it can be used for a conditional order?
Perhaps if a buy and sell signal was added.

BenTen I appreciate your response, that works for a strategy that I have looked at. But to use it in a conditional order it does not work. Unless I don't understand something. I prefer using the conditional orders so that the entry and exit are based on crossing above or below. Its effectively autotrading as when the condition is met it automatically opens the position, then when the condition is met such as supertrend closing below price it will close. But conditional orders don't like some code.

 

[BenTen]

@frick53 Are you looking for auto trading? If so, ThinkorSwim doesn't support it.

Does anyone have a tutorial to setup and use the scanner with the code below:

input AtrMult = .70;
input nATR = 4;
input AvgType = AverageType.HULL;
def h = high;
def l = low;
def c = close;
def v = volume;
def ATR = MovingAverage(AvgType, TrueRange(h, c, l), nATR);
def UP = HL2 + (AtrMult * ATR);
def DN = HL2 + (-AtrMult * ATR);
def ST = if c < ST[1]
then Round(UP / tickSize(), 0) * tickSize()
else Round(DN / tickSize(), 0) * tickSize();
#plot SuperTrendUP = if ST crosses below close then 1 else 0;
plot SuperTrendDN = if ST crosses above close then 1 else 0;
# End Code SuperTrend
