Auto Significant Price Levels for ThinkorSwim

Simplifying code to make life easier

This price level study is super useful when scalping.. but adjusting the settings is very tedious the way it is set up

Is there a way to combine the below code so that all the 'P' levels (plot start) can be adjusted together as well as the 'M' levels (midpoint)?

As it stands you have to go in and adjust each individual level, thanks for any help, cheers

I don't trade futures. Only spy w/ options and leveraged etf's.

Whether the bar is tick or cents or whatever, the grid is about significant price levels. Determine the correlative significant levels for the futures you are trading, generally whole numbers. With spy the correlative for /ES would be 10 for the increment and 50 for the major. That would make the midpoints 5. This is if you are trading a bar that roughly correlates to a 1 minute chart within a couple of minutes either way during the day session. The grid will not show on the overnight. Here is the latest iteration of the Auto Grid Lines I use on my 1 minute spy chart.

@rlohmeyer First of all just want to say thanks for the great indicator. Maybe my brain isn't fully awake yet since I haven't gotten the coffee yet, but for some reason when looking back at prior trading days with the updated code in post #1, the plot is starting at 1100 instead of plotting at 0400. Would love to be able to compare previous trading days, not sure what I'm missing. Plots well in real-time, but running into issues when trying to review. Any help would be appreciated.
 
@YoloEZ

No, your brain is not playing tricks. Because the indicator is live it determines it's "starting" price for the grid based on the open price of each bar divided by the interval you set for the "Major" levels. As such, it then plots 20 levels of "increments" AND "midpoints" of the increments both above and below that "major level", which as I said is recalculated on the open of the next bar, whether tick or time or whatever.

Thus, depending on the bar time frame you are using (or correlative tick bar, etc) the high and low for one day price action could be considerably different than a previous day and the grid "space" will be different. You may simply have to use TOS built in capacity to set a specific price level grid amount on the chart based on the "increment" you chose, and use that to compare previous days. This was built not to compare days but to trade one day based on "inherently" significant price levels.

Hope this helps,
Bob

@rlohmeyer may I know what are those magenta lines and how to use them?

The Magenta lines are based on your choice of what you consider to be "Major" significant price levels. For instance on the Spy I consider the "Increment" of significance to be 1$, which is how it is set. I consider the "Major" level of price significance to be 5$ and that is how these are set. They are Magenta and as price approaches these levels I look for a struggle between big money Bulls and Bears, and thus a lot of price volatility, especially around the 10$ levels. There is also a dashed magenta line at the midpoints of Major Levels.

On the sample chart I posted you can see the strong rejection of $395 and a small trend away from the price level. This happened a number of times during that trading session. And in fact the Yellow Dotted Lines at $395.14 was the open of the day. Another significant level.

You need to widen the prices in your price axis. Click on the price axis so that you can see a double sided arrow then move your mouse upward to widen the axis. You can also make the increments larger in the settings.

Look at the chart above in post 124. The space between the lines is larger and you only see increments from 397 to 394.5.

I think we are looking at two different price actions. I am looking for major top and bottom price action over a long period show the trend. This is to help show when you be ready to sell or buy. New Chart . I would love it if you could automate the chart. Thank you.

I am sorry I do not understand your question. The chart you posted as an illustration is a 30 minute chart. The grid has to be setup based on it's usefulness relative to the time frame you are considering. For example, on daily chart for spy I would setup the Increment as 5 and the Major as 10.
On a 5 minute chart I would set it with the Increment at 1 and the Major at 5. The grid is only useful if you consider certain price levels to be INHERENTLY useful.

You can see what I am referring to in post 124 where the chart is setup with the Increment at 1 and the Major at 5 (in magenta). Those levels acted as support and resistance in real time price action.

Bob
 
Hi Bob,

Thank you for your contribution. Very enlightening and most helpful.
I have a similar type of situation, but I would like to combine it with yours (which I can do by merging code) and I would like to add some enhancements (if possible...which I don't seem to be able to do). I wonder if you might ponder it and see if you have any suggestions as to how to achieve what I'm after.
I have included an image and a link to the indicator that I've been using for the purposes of this discussion. I did not write the indicator and I can't take any credit for it, although I have probably modified it and have #commented out my attempts to achieve the enhancements (as you'll see in the code).

Ultimately, although SPY/ES seem to have a love affair with the day's RTH open, previous day close and the half gap, I've noticed lately that it also respects things like "the open from 3 days ago" or "the daily half gap from 6 days ago"...or whenever it may be retouched for the first time.

My initial thought was to see simply if I could get yesterday's half gap to plot on today's chart, but now I'm wondering if there is a way to carry all of these previous days' opens, closes and halfgaps forward to future days?? .... or maybe just the previous 10 or 20 days worth.

Thanks for having a look. Let me know if you have any questions.

Note: on the charts and on the image, the cyan dashed line represents the daily RTH open, the yellow line represents the half gap and the gray dashed line represents the previous day's close.

ps... for those who say that you have too many lines, I have this comment: My charts contain what is included here PLUS a lot more... pivot points, volume profile, vwap, intraday-vwap and mobius supply/demand zones. Some have said to me also that there is TOO MUCH to look at and I tell them .... yes, studying it will probably make you have an epileptic fit, but if you just pay attention to the most current candle, when price comes to one of these "areas of significance" then you'll at least know that something might just happen there (like a reversal) or that you've reached a target and might consider closing your position. It all is a lot to watch to be sure (as I have the same setup on /ES, SPY and /VX) but it sure is helpful.

Here is simple code to extend any line into the future from a specific starting date. It gives you 2 inputs for the date and the price you want to extend. Duplicate the code and rename each plotted average for the type of line you are extending. Below is an image of yesterdays Open Price on the 5 minute Spy chart extended into today and all future days until you don't need it anymore.

Code: 
input BeginDate = 20230328;
input price = 397.05;
plot AVG =  if DaysFromDate(BeginDate) >= 0
   then MovingAverage(averageType.SIMPLE, price, 1)
   else double.nan;

Hmmm... will the code above only work with the line "input price = nnn.nn;" ?
I used the following code

plot hg_plot = hg; #today's half gap
hg_plot.SetStyle(Curve.LONG_DASH);
hg_plot.SetDefaultColor(Color.yellow);
hg_plot.SetLineWeight(3);

plot hg_future = if DaysFromDate(BeginDate) >= 0
then MovingAverage(averageType.SIMPLE, hg, 1)
else double.nan;
hg_future.SetStyle(Curve.LONG_DASH);
hg_future.SetDefaultColor(Color.yellow);
hg_future.SetLineWeight(1);


and got nothing plotted into the future. Am I correct that I will need to manually enter the new price inputs daily?.... or (hopefully) is there another way?...where the code will simply pick up on the plot that was established before and then extend it off into the future?

Thanks!

#VPOC
#The study that zzz posted displays the last 5 VPOC and provides an excellent visual as to where an instrument trades relative to the cluster of VPOCs during the past several sessions. Franz uses this cluster of VPOCs to determine the probable direction of the market.

#If price action is trading very close to the cluster of VPOCs, this means that the market is in balance. Should the market trade above this cluster of VPOCs and continue to move higher from there, we may consider a buy at the bottom of the VAL (value area low). Conversely, if the market trades below the cluster of VPOCs, then we’ll be looking for a short entry.

#This is essentially a play on support and resistance. VPOC can be viewed as clusters of support (floor) or resistance (ceiling) zones. If one floor breaks, then it is likely going to trade to the next floor, etc.

@SleepyZ ... much thanks! I took what you did and applied it (separately) to all of the important lines that I track. This is now perfect for me. I'm sharing it back with hopes that it might help you or anyone else.

Note: 1. The chart is fat with indicators now. 5 or 6 as I recall. And can become fatter still if other things (moving averages, vwaps, etc.) are added. 2. Also note that the current day's lines are always thick with a weight of 3 and the extensions are always thin with a weight of 1.

Here is the chart link with all of the indicators inside: https://tos.mx/Nx3MGrR

This provided 5 perfect scalp trades today!! 1.) First touch off of half gap 2.) reversal when price went back up to the RTH open 3.) the next touch and bounce at half gap 4.) after price dropped below half gap and then went back to it and reversed down (VX confirmed that a short could be taken there) 5.) and a sweet bounce off of yesterday's high.
