Just watched the Zoom meeting, thank you for walking us through that. I really liked what you have accomplished here. I will be testing this in the next week or so. You should look at the Multiple Time Frame TMO also I think that would fit nicely here.
 
FYI. Our friend in Asia @Playstation Tells me that the bubbles for daily support and resistance are not working since the markets are closed.. It will update by Monday... (it should)
 
Quick question if I have the 1Min study up and I want to look at the 5Min do I have to load the 5Min. study or can I just change the time frame? and get the correct data? Thank you!
 
Thanks for the video youtube link in post #1.

I have a small question @Playstation, @fjr1300, and @BenTen

Using @mashume hull moving average con turning points, I am getting green (buy support) and red (sell resistance) bubbles. I am not sure, how YELLOW (buy/sell confirmation) bubbles are being generated. So can someone tell me:

-which script is generating YELLOW BUBBLES

Thank you again
 
@mansor They are generated by the same study. I added the labels / bubbles with the help of other members. If you look at the code, the information is all the way at the bottom.

@fjr1300 This is the first version with green and red bubbles at the bottom (bold) - there's no indication of yellow bubbles. I have also posted 2nd version further below:

If I use these simultaneously, they give bubbles on same candle, basically, overlapping. But that's not the case, when you use it. Is there another version that comprises both together.

Thank you again & sorry for asking about it over and over.

@fjr1300 José, nice job with the color changes and de-cluttering the chart. I trade fibs too, but with the first iteration, I couldn't process the zones. Your current color gradations make it a lot easier. My personal preference is to avoid clouds on a chart, but I think your setup will help some traders get a feel for pullback zones. Well done!
 
@fjr1300

Jose- Buenas tardes. First, thank you so much for sharing your hard work with this community. I am very impressed with the study. Just checked your website and confirmed that this has been used for a few years now. I am sure that results are very positive, based on what I saw and in the zoom presentation posted above.
It also was extremely gratifying, at least for me, to see that you promote Paying forward thru charities in your website. My respects for thinking about others less fortunate and helping to make a difference in this world.
Muchas gracias.
 
@mansor Let me know if you were able to get the alerts to work. if not please review the site.

@Rioslik It is best to have a grid setup with slots for 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, etc. Depending on how many monitors you have, a different recommendation can be given.

Quick question if I have the 1Min study up and I want to look at the 5Min do I have to load the 5Min. study or can I just change the time frame? and get the correct data? Thank you!

If you are like me and aren't a fan of workspaces with numerous cells, you can easily switch between time frames (each time frame with its own studies and study settings, if you like) with a single click by using "My Tools." It's under the General Settings section in TOS.

https://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/howToTos/thinkManual/charts/Useful-Tools/My-Tools
Here's a video showing how to do it. (Disclaimer: I don't know anything about the presenter, I was just looking for a video showing how to set up My Tools on a chart.)


Anyone who wants to use this indicator could save a style for a 1, 5, 10 min chart, etc and then easily switch between those charts using My Tools if that is handier than loading a separate grid-style workspace to view higher timeframes. What I typically do is have a 2-cell work space with a MyTools menu at the top to allow me to stay in a lower time frame on one side and cycle through various higher timeframes on the other side without having to load additional workspaces. YMMV.

Best wishes and happy trading!
