Archived: Supertrend Indicator by Mobius for ThinkorSwim

Also - in an attempt to give back. I've ported the supertrend script so that it works on mobile. It involves two scripts - one for the supertrend plot, and one for the signal. As far as I know, you cannot paint the candles like you can on your pc version of TOS. Anyway, screenshots from PC and mobile (to compare) and scripts below for your use.

Mobile Signal: https://tos.mx/72pAl6

Sorry - I left my bollinger bands on in that shot.

HI and thanks. I am setting up TOS after using Ninja for years. Finding it really difficult to recreate some of my charting but that's ok

On this one - is this any type of a resource hog that would slow you down on TOS. My chart seemed a bit laggy after I put this on it. Not using the scanner just the supertrend. Anyone notice this or maybe it's just something else I've got running.

@Slip I used to experience that issue with ToS as well. By default, they have it running at a low memory usage I believe. At the login screen, click on the gear icon (Settings) and you should be able to configure the RAM values.

Is there a way to remove the red & green lines, too distracting for me, candle colors are enough

 

[ripster47]

I got it, i turned plot of. Works now, thanks

 

[BenTen]

@ripster47 Untick "Show Plot" for the Supertrend setting.

I tried this one but i only want the color candles, not the grey bubbles & plot line. So i unticked both plot & bubbles in settings but only the plot line hides but the bubbles are still present. How do i get rid of them?

 

[BenTen]

@zeek By removing the following code from your script:

AddChartBubble(close crosses below ST, low[1], low[1], color.Dark_Gray);
AddChartBubble(close crosses above ST, high[1], high[1], color.Dark_Gray, no);

@zeek By removing the following code from your script:

AddChartBubble(close crosses below ST, low[1], low[1], color.Dark_Gray);
AddChartBubble(close crosses above ST, high[1], high[1], color.Dark_Gray, no);

Ok, but how do i do that? I can't find an option in settings for editing the script.

Thanks BenTen!

I read in the beginning of thread that this indicator was for futures but have anyone tested how well this works for stocks too?
I just did some quick reviewing from the past week runners and it seems like it works really good. Especially on gap stocks and parabolic moves to find the top. Will do more testing but so far, i really like what i see.

 

[BenTen]

@zeek The default settings should be fine for stocks as well.

@BenTen I really like your scanner look with the colored blocks. I haven't dipped my toe into much watchlist setups. Two questions; you have three different Supertrend color boxes. I see one is day one is week, what is the other? How do I set that up. Everything else is running SUPER smoooooth. Very grateful for your generosity. Really love this amazing stuff!

@MBF Welcome

It depends on what type of trader you are. Just keep in mind that the higher the timeframe the bigger the move.

@BenTen Well hi there. I'm an intraday trying to work on day and then swing. Need to get my PL up for Intra and Im learning Swing and Futures right now. I trade high liquid Options ATM.
Also I got your message but I think I may be over my head in information right now and can't seem to find where to donate.
Thank you BEN! You freaking ROCK!

Yeah so I hear but Im a little squeamish about using higher candles. I trade on 1, 5 (depends on how much coffee I've had) and also have the 15 on the side. I try the 15 but it's funny I feel out of control if I cant see the moves. I know know.
Only a year in on trading. Still a babe.

Done!

@BenTen is this indicator real time? Meaning that if I am on a 5 minute chart, and after a series of red candles there is a green 5 minute candle after it, is that all in real time? Or is there some delay.

 

[BenTen]

@corello I believe this indicator works in real-time and does not repaint.
