just did a little digging haha


a blue squat bar according to the book occurs within 3 bars of a top or bottom , a green bar shows momentum, a red Fade bar shows bearishness, a yellow bars shows a false move.
A green zone shows when the AO oscilator & the Accel/decel indicator are both bullish, while the Red zone shows when they are both bearish

this is done on 3 different time frames, with the lowest time frame on the bottom and higher time frames above

Here is a version that combines the following indicators "Trend Advisor Diamond Phase", "Tea v2.0" , "Bill Williams Zone Bars" , & "Bill Williams SquatBars"
The documentation is included in the formula
All Indicators have Assign Price Color & 3_MTF's

# TEA 2.0 - TOS version - 2015-06-04
# From Andrew Falde's work - LessThanRandom.com
# Converted from TradeStation to TOS by John Chernicky
#Hint: TEA 2.0 by Andrew Falde at LessThanRandom.com
#Trend Advisor Diamond Phase by Chuck Dukas , Coded by Henry Z Kaczmarczyk
#Trend Advisor Line 1 is current Time Frame. Line 2 is next higher Time Frame. Line 3 is second higher time frame.
#Trend Advisor is shown as Squares Compares Close to the 50 & 200 SMA
#Recovery Phase is Light Green
#Warning Phase is Orange
#Accumulation Phase is Green
#Dispersition Phase is Red
#Bullish Phase is Dark_Green
#Bearish Phase is Dark_Red
#TEA v 2.0 are shown as Points on lines 0,5 TEAB First Higher Time frame Lines 6, TEAC secondsFromTime higher Time frame Lines 7
#Consolidation is shown as Blue Points on the zero line
# Trend Caclulation
# 1 - Accumulation color Dark_Red
# 2 - Mark Up Color Green
# 3 - Distribution Color Dark_Green
# 4 - Mark Down Color Red
# 0 - No Trend
# Bill Williams Zone Bars are shown as Triangles in 3 Different Time Frames
#Green Triangles show when the Awesome Oscillator & Acceleration Osc are Bullish
#Red Triangles show when the Awesome Oscillator & Acceleration Osc are Bearish
#Blue Triangles show when the Awesome Oscillator & Acceleration Osc are Neutral
#Line 9 is then current Time Frame, Line 10 is then next higher time frame, Line 11 is the second higher Time Frame
#SquatBars are shown as Squares on Lines 13,14,15. Line 10 is the currentRatio Time Frame, Line 13 is the next Higher Time Frame, Line 14 is the secondsFromTime Higher Time Frame.
#GreenBars are green and are Bullish
#Squat Bars are Blue and show trend reversal at the end of Trends
#Fade Bars are Red and are Bearish
#FakeBars are Orange
#APC = 1 thru 3 will paint bars for Trend Advisor
#APC = 5 thru 7 will paint bars for TEA v2.0
#APC = 9 thru 11 will paint bars for Zone Bars
#APC = 13 thru 15 will Paint Bars for Squat Bars

Henry I am really enjoying this code. You did a great job! I can do a little coding but I was wondering if you could help with something that is out of my knowledge.

I wanted to make a watchlist indicator(never done this actually only lower studies) using this code and for it just to show the daily color close of the bar. So if its a squat bar itll show blue, fade itll show red etc.

Is something like that possible?

cheers
 
Can anyone help?
Is there a way to break this up into individual components (i.e one indicator for squat bar, one for tea 2.0, zones, etc...)?
I’m trying to go in there and break it up myself, but am getting error messages as I try to do that ( I’m new at this and am still learning).
Thanks anyone!!

Hello DocBrown, I combined then into 1 indicator to save space on the chart and to eliminate the title bars for 3 indicators
 
I have not used tick charts nor the direction on squat or fake bars, I just used the description from the book

Thanks Henry the code works great. I was wondering if there is an easy way to change the color of the volume bars instead of the price bars.

Check out the Thinkorswim standard Study named SpectrumBars to see if that will help with volume...

​

 
Thanks rad14733. Using a combination of the code for the spectrum bars and the code provided by Henry1224 I was able to get the volume bars colored, but I haven't been able to get the price bars back to red and green. HMMM...

I'll add the code for price bars and volume bars colored to MFI
 
declare lower;
Input paint = yes;
DefineGlobalColor("Greenbar", Color.Green);
DefineGlobalColor("Squatbar", Color.Blue);
DefineGlobalColor("Fadebar", Color.Red);
DefineGlobalColor("Fakebar", Color.Orange);
DefineGlobalColor("Zero", Color.Gray);
def mfi = if volume > 0 then (high - low) / volume * 100 else 0;
def Con1 = if volume[1] > volume[2] then 1 else 0;
def Con2 = if mfi[1] > mfi[2] then 1 else 0;
def BW1= if Con1 == 1 and Con2 == 1 then 1 else 0;
def BW2= if Con1 == 1 and Con2 == 0 then 2 else 0;
def BW3= if Con1 == 0 and Con2 == 0 then 3 else 0;
def BW4= if Con1 == 0 and Con2 == 1 then 4 else 0;
def sb = (BW1 + BW2 + BW3 + BW4);
Plot vol = volume;
vol.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.histogram);
vol.setLineWeight(3);
vol.assignValueColor(if sb == 1 then GlobalColor("Greenbar") else if SB == 2 then GlobalColor("Squatbar") else if SB == 3 then GlobalColor("Fadebar") else if SB== 4 then GlobalColor("Fakebar") else GlobalColor("Zero"));
assignPriceColor(if Paint == yes and SB == 1 then GlobalColor("Greenbar") else if Paint == yes and SB == 2 then GlobalColor("Squatbar") else if paint == yes and SB == 3 then GlobalColor("Fadebar") else if paint == yes and SB == 4 then GlobalColor("Fakebar") else Color.Current);
 
I'm not great at coding. Does anybody see why the price bars are also being colored to match MFI, and can I change this to just color code the volume bars.
 
@WoodyWoody Your AssignPriceValue() call is the culprit... That call is used to color chart bars/candles and serves no other purpose in lower indicators...

Did anyone figure out how to trade with this indicator? Or any other indicator that goes well in hand with it?

Here is a version that combines the following indicators "Trend Advisor Diamond Phase", "Tea v2.0" , "Bill Williams Zone Bars" , & "Bill Williams SquatBars"
The documentation is included in the formula
All Indicators have Assign Price Color & 3_MTF's

Henry thank you for sharing! Can't load up this indicator, are there any changes I am missing that need to be done for it to start showing up? I have an empty space in place where indicator should be, thanks in advance for help!

Indicator that you've shared in this topic works great btw.
TEA combined with Trend Advisor Diamond Phase

You are going long in accumulation phase and short in distribution. But you need confluence with other indicators to do this.

You have to set your Time frames correctly for it to plot! What is the time frame that you are viewing?
Start with the time frame for the chart , then add the next higher time frame and so forth
