Bull Flag and Bear Flag Formations for ThinkorSwim

Will this be a lagging indicator? meaning, does it draw after the fact or does it draw as the wedge is happening?

I am curious to know if there is any indicator that automatically detects wedge formations and draw trendines to make them visible on the chart? Alerts would also be desirable.
 
Can you help me with a custom indicator I have I will like to turn it into a scanner. Would be appreciated

@MerryDay I just noticed this isn’t the same. The person that created this thread changed the code provided by Ken to better results. The link above is for the original code. I was hoping for this code is I be turned into a scan from spoiledtechie
 
@wesam as @spoiledtechie said in the 1st post. There is less than 30sec to make a decision on whether to make entry. Given that scans update every 3-7min. A scan would not be applicable in this instance.
 
I agree but I wanted to use it for other reasons is why a scan would benefit

wouldn’t the scan still be on the 1 min I just want to be able to see which stocks are receiving the signals since it’s on the 3 min for signals

@stamenski In a review of the code, I see no impediment to using it on all aggregations. Some scalpers stay away from moving averages, MACD, and the like because their scalping strategy doesn't support any sort of lag. But most technical analytical indicators have some lag except for repainting ones which have their own challenges. My suggestion is to add it to your charts and watch it and see if you find it helpful. If it confirms signals from your other indicators then think about buying 1 share and see what happens.

This is just my opinion and should not be taken as investment advice.
 
How does the watchlist column work in relation to time? I'm a day trader that trades 1 minute charts. How does the watchlist column know what timeframe to determine a Bull Flag?

It uses the aggregation that you select at the top when setting up the column, from 1 min to yearly agg.
