@TOSTrader Post a screenshot of your scanner

 

[TOSTrader]

@BenTen Here is the scanner:

Here is the code:

@TOSTrader Just tested the bearish scanner, here's the result.

@TOSTrader Just tested the bearish scanner, here's the result.

Am I adding the correct options for offset, plot, input is true within 2 bars?

 

[BenTen]

@TOSTrader I just pasted that code into the thinkScript editor within my scanner on the Daily chart. I didn't modify anything else.

But conditional orders don't like some code.

Conditional orders don't like some code is an understatement. Conditional orders don't like anything but the simplest conditions. Hence the statement TOS does not support auto trading.

While this is endlessly frustrating; my current workaround is to

• maintain an "owned stocks" watchlist
• create a scan of watchlist
• when my exit strategy filters are met, play a custom alert

PS: a fun fact: you can load any length mp3 into custom sounds to play for a scan alert. I might not hear a single ding or bell alert especially if I am not in front of my computer but Alexa playing 3 minutes of "We're In the Money" throughout the house" garners my attention.

@aabbaabb111

def UP = HL2 + (atrMult * ATR);
def DN = HL2 + (-atrMult * ATR);

def ST = if close < ST[1] then UP else DN;
plot SuperTrend = ST;

So what is the value of ST when close < ST[1] ?
So what is the value of ST when close> ST[1] ?

Does anyone know if this script repaints ?

 

[BenTen]

@achillez16 Been asked numerous times, no. But you do need to wait for the candle to fully close for confirmation.

You cannot use any code in conditional orders that utilizes recursion and I'm fairly certain that the error you are receiving is due to that limitation... Conditional orders can only process simple code, unfortunately...

Hello !
I'm new here, I was wondering how to implement the SuperTrend scanner for TOS, I was able to get the indicator to work but not the scanner. I can't find anywhere to enter code for scanners.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !

@T-Dub Add this version to your ToS then watch the video below. It will help you out.

@BenTen - I have a question for you. Since the TOS issues of the past couple days I was trying to set a backup on my NinjaTrader for this indicator. Is that possible? And if so, how?

 

[BenTen]

@fredfunk2020 I'm not familiar with the NinjaTrader platform so I'm not sure.

Thank you very much !

@BenTen What is the final script for Supertrend Indicator? Not able to follow lot of comments.
Can you please share the TOS link or script code.

 

[BenTen]

@kyatham777 There is no "final" script. You may find some modified versions here and there. If you don't want to go through all 16 pages then just use the indicator posted on the first page.

@BenTen I have applied first page script but that will be giving grey bubbles which doesn't give buy or sell indicator. Can you give me a good version of the script.

 

[BenTen]

@kyatham777 Take a look at the info given on the first page:

Added Bubbles to mark entry and exit prices.

Bubbles on green candles = bullish and on red candles = bearish.

If you want to find the right one that works for you, then go through the pages.

@MerryDay and @BenTen, I am not sure what I am doing wrong still. Here is my scan criteria and the scan code. I run it during market hours.

# SuperTrend Scan
# Mobius
# V01.10.2015
# Comment out (#) the direction NOT to use for a scan

input AtrMult = 1.0;
input nATR = 3;
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
