Black Dog System Indicator for ThinkorSwim - Strategy

[Trading51]

@Trading51 This part of the code sets an agg period of 20 minutes. Any chart time frame over 20 minutes will stop the study from working. Several choices.
Erase or comment out this part of the study.
Change Def agg to the an agg period higher then chart time period.
Change this line " def agg = AggregationPeriod.TWENTY_MIN; " to "input agg = AggregationPeriod.TWENTY_MIN;"
That should let you choose an agg in settings.


# Black Dog Arrows------------------------------------------------------

# Change Aggregation Period to 20 minutes------------------------
def agg = AggregationPeriod.TWENTY_MIN;
def data = close(period = agg);

# 2 EMAs of Black Dogs--------------------------------------------------
def BDfastEMA=ExpAverage(DATA,20);
def BDslowEMA=ExpAverage(DATA,100);

# Black Dog UP for EMA20 crossing ABOVE EMA100-------------
def UpCross = if BDfastEMA > BDslowEma AND BDfastEMA[1] < BDslowEMA then 1 else 0;
Plot BDup = if UpCross then high else double.nan;

BDup.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_UP);
BDup.SetLineWeight(5);
BDup.SetDefaultColor(color.WHITE);
BDup.HideBubble();
BDup.HideTitle();

# Black Dog DN for EMA20 crossing BELOW EMA100-----------
def DnCross = if BDfastEMA < BDslowEma AND BDfastEMA[1] > BDslowEMA then 1 else 0;
Plot BDdn = if DnCross then low else double.nan;

BDdn.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);
BDdn.SetLineWeight(5);
BDdn.SetDefaultColor(color.WHITE);
BDdn.HideBubble();
BDdn.HideTitle();

Besides what you just updated the previous, code says 5 min only any reason behind that 15 and 20 min are much better read

No idea why author said 5 min. only. Original should work on any chart 20 minutes or less. Possibly the author thought the combination of 5 minutes and 20 minutes were best for using the study

that opened up but it's scrambled, didn't work

The link that @tenacity11 works just fine. You'll need to have the RAR utility to open that file that comprises a bundle of MQ4 scripts, Word document, etc, etc

thanks tomsk

What could I use to open it

 

[tomsk]

Simple - Just Google "Download RAR" and follow the trail. I kind of guessed this was going to be the follow up question. Now how did I know? Because I'm a mind reader

 

[Topas]

use https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Definitely can work for 30mins.
Just need to go into the script and change the agg period. Starting to get the hang on this.

@Playstation Ah I see that you are diving into the code and getting the hang of things. Way to go, slowly but surely that's how you make progress

 

[horserider]

Hmm maybe he got the tip in post #41.

 

[Playstation]

also meddled around the sides, found constants then added my own agg period. thanks @tomsk as always. if you're anywhere around the city of crazy rich asian lemme know, got you a beer in your name.

@Playstation Where is that? Now I'm real curious. Sounds like you're one of them.
