I would like to be alerted when the swing arms breaks bullish on any ticker in my watchlist . Is there a way to do that. I've only seen alerts put on individual tickers

Yes. use the scan code with any watchlist. It will work.

I'm using a scan watchlist and I want to copy and paste the alert code into the watchlist not a specific symbol. I watched the tutorial video but its showing how to set up alerts on a specific symbol. Can I set up the alerts to the watchlist instead of a symbol. For example if a new symbol is automatically added to my watchlist and the swingarm breaks or buy confirmed is triggered I would like an alert sent to my phone. The tutorial is showing how to set up an alert on a specific symbol. Not the whole watchlist.Thx
 
Thank you for the updated response. I am happy you are working on a paper account to start with. Awesome. Regarding futures, as you start, you can use the micro for ES. The symbol is /MES it has a much smaller capital requirement for you to learn with.

@fjr1300 I am not pulling up any options contracts for /MES. Is this a share only stock?
 
@fjr1300 Thank you for all your effort in this, but I have to respectfully disagree about paper trading. I think it's fine for learning the mechanics of how to use a platform but for trading, I think it's almost worthless, and can be dangerous. I haven't read the whole thread so if someone else has mentioned this my apologies. But IMHO, paper trading does not involve any emotion, there's no skin in the game. Trading is ALL about emotion = fear and greed. Secondly, someone who paper trades and is wildly successful, sometimes they assume this translates into real trading.... and we all know it doesn't. That can be very dangerous and emotionally debilitating. Learning your rules and your discipline can only be acquired through the stress and pressure of actual trading. Otherwise, you will never truly learn. I'm teaching my son to trade right now. We're using real money of his that he's saved. Nothing can replace the experience of skin in the game, and IMHO is the best way to learn. This is the price of his education. I'm teaching him on the MES, so any losses are relatively minimum and more productive than phantom money. He is learning the painful consequences of no discipline a lot earlier in his trading career. Anyway, my two cents. I certainly don't intend offense and know there is more than one way to learn this business. In the end, my wish is everyone can achieve their dreams.
 
@bobomatic, I think paper trading is a mixed bag. A lot depends on the platform. Some seem to make it easier to get fills in a demo account than live trading, and that can certainly lead to a false sense of success. I agree with you that pain of losing real money is a powerful teacher. The problem is some traders don't learn from their losses and double down on their mistakes. Others jump into live trading before understanding how their indicators/strategy work, causing them to lose money unnecessarily. Most newbs I've met don't have a mentor to watch over them in live trading as you are doing for your son. Seems to me that makes live trading less risky for him than for others who may be viewing this thread. Like you, I intend no offense by my comment.

Best wishes to you and your son.
 
@fjr1300 I am confused. Did you add mentioned code into your indicator OR you added these indicators to chart ? Could you please share chart will all indicators ? Thanks !
 
@tenacity11 Read through the thread, Jose mentioned that he doesn't trade stocks. You would have to play around with it on different tickers and see if it works for stock trading or not.

@mattarmstrong88... Is this what you're looking for? Try...

1. https://tos.mx/s3T7Nwm - SwingArm and Break "Up" Bullish Scan for 1D and 1Hr signals. That makes 4 Bullish scans in one Condition Group set to run "Any of the following". You can add subtract or change the period as you want.

2. https://tos.mx/fSynS0K - Same thing as above but on the Bearish side.
 
This morning's short opportunity. Shorting ES 500 using the micro contract. It is all about having the patience and understanding to properly implement swingarms. Having a target, taking the profit, and walking away. Take a break and allow another setup to occur. No rush, no pressure, no stress, no over-trading.
