This is something I cooked up this morning. Not a lot went into it. Maybe you guys could refine it a little if you find it interesting. Any feedback welcomed. I am just learning to Thinkscroipt and learning by remixing things hear and their:

@asragov , Those vertical lines are from the Balance Of Power Indicator. It is a possible buy or sell at that specific price.
It can be adjusted to your liking. I have it set at ema 20/tma 20....It has worked in the past petty good for stocks similar to AMD on a 2 min chart. On futures I like it set at ema34/tma34 on a 15 min chart. You can check its profitability and tweak its settings by setting your chart to 1 day aggregations variables ranging from 2,3,5,10 and 15 mins. Look at the label in the P/L statement to the top left on the indicator to see how much that strategy would have profited you.

NOTE: The code needs to be modified on that portion, because I have it set to only buy 1 share of stock instesd of 100. I did that for futures contracts ....Now I cant remember how to change it back. Maybe someone could improve that and make it able to user interface adjustable shares .

@Chuck Thank you very much for putting this together. This is simply an amazing compilation. The vertical lines are especially useful. Out of the box (with EMA/TEMA 20) it works well for many of the stocks I looked at for the 1HR chart. I just now wish I can go back in time and use this last week as it would have saved me quite a bit of money on some bad trades.

Note for those who want to get the most out of it, change the EMA/TEMA values up and down, as Chuck noted, and see the impact on P/L for each stock/ticker you want to trade for the specific chart time you wish. This is really an essential element to get the most out of it.

Thanks again buddy and keep up the good work!

@Joseph Patrick 18, Hopefully you downloaded the updated version. The original sript posted did not have my defaulted settings. Editied the latest post to reflect. I am not a good coder, I just mixed this all together from some of my favorite lower indicators to have a all in one. Edited out a few conflicts. Maybe someone here can create a scan. but this is still experimental, use with caution.

Thanks Chuck, I did and it looks awesome! Thanks!
Quick question on how to use the chart for entry and exit signals.

In the pic below would I enter at when the MACD dots turn from red to green and rises above the other MA's, while also getting the green vertical line @$168.70 with the beginning of the green shadow forming? (the 2 green arrows in pic below)

Also to exit (arrow number 2 in pic below) I would wait for the MACD dots to reverse and go from green to red while crossing below the MA's and the green shading ends?? (even tho the green shade ended at $178.70)??

Thanks for your help.

Joe,
The first thing I do is backtest it on the instrument I want to trade. Using a one day chart with time intervals of 2m,3m,5m,10m,15m, etc. and check out the P/L to see what time frame is the most profitable, considering my risk and max drawdown.

Next I adjust the fast length macd, so that it matches my optimal entry/exit points on that timeframe.

After that to answer your question I watch the MACD line. Before the line turns grey it should turn dark red or dark green. Thats when I am alerted. I use that as my lead while using this indicator.

When the MACD line turns grey, that is an area of indecision and as soon as that line crosses the middle BB line, I look for secondary confirmation to confirm entry or exit, I do this on entries and exits.

I have all the arrows turned on on my version and I look for the arrows, or histogram, or colored cloud background, or balance of power line with price level for my entries also considering the other signals and price indications I am getting from the candles and other indicators in my final evaluation.

Joe,

Some people may want to enter upon the bollinger band crossing that will be for earlier trade enties/exits. You will have to play with it and figure out what works best for you. I updated the link and the second post to add paint bars. I am not a coder and would not recommend trading live until all the kinks are worked out. I see several of the indicators on this forum were designed because of your requests. Perhaps you can reach out and get one of these guys to tweak this thing up a bit if you like it.

Hey Chuck, thanks for your explanation and for your work with this. Would you mind explaining further how you make the decision about what to adjust the MACD fast length to?
1)first you look at the P/L and how it differs based on changing the timeframe - so if 5m looks better than 3, you'd probably go with 5m
2)then you adjust the MACD fast line - this is the part i'm having difficulty with - what do you do to figure out how you should adjust it?

@JE $$ ,

I like to have probability in my favor. that’s why I put that strategy on my lower indicators.

For each instrument that I trade I can run a P/L analysis.

Once that’s locked into the optimal time frame, I like to adjust other indicators or in this instance studies within the indicator for maximum performance.

I personally open the study and adjust the fast length macd.

I adjust the fast length MACD by while looking at the histogram while trying to optimize it to the perfect high/ low pivot points.
I like to send it to eight out of 10 occurrences.

That is just my personal preference
