BuyLow_MP_SMI_TriggerSystem for ThinkorSwim

ADX = 1 Does not work for this study ADX. It was coded at 5 if my memory is correct. I just changed some inputs as I hate any oscillator swinging too wildly.
 
After working extensively with the original buy Lo study with addition to placing Tomsk ironrod onto the lower study A_BuyLow_MP_SMI_TriggerSystem1 for absolute smi. this gives me a clearer easy to read stochastic tops and bottoms in accordance to the original smi and macd trends on any time frame. Thanks to the site and coders for helping me find a path.

Can you share a chart that has this setup? I really like the original buy lo study as well but I’m curious to look at what you are now using. Thanks!
 
What I find is so facinationing regarding trading is I always return to the stochastic and MACD in one way or another. And Ive tried soo many chart combinations but for the basic lower indicators Im sold.
 
Have you guys seen this version?

@J007RMC You can comment-out the background color changes. I don't like them either but wanted to post unedited version the way BuyLow had it at the time.

@Playstation An excellent effort, you almost have all the right pieces.
Very well done. Here's how I would implement it. Add the following code snippet

Code: 
# Plot the Breakout/Breakdown Signals

plot UpSignal = if SMI crosses above AvgSMI then SMI * 0.996 else Double.NaN;
UpSignal.SetHiding(!showBreakoutSignals);
UpSignal.SetDefaultColor(Color.PINK);
UpSignal.SetLineWeight(5);
UpSignal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);
UpSignal.HideTitle();

plot DownSignal = if SMI crosses below AvgSMI then SMI * 1.004 else Double.NaN;
DownSignal.SetHiding(!showBreakoutSignals);
DownSignal.SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);
DownSignal.SetLineWeight(5);
DownSignal.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_DOWN);
DownSignal.HideTitle();


I noticed that you used the user input variable showBreakoutSignals. Don't forget to define that early in your code.
In case you get stuck, here is the completed code with all the changes incorporated

Code: 
# IronRod SMI Histogram (Lower)
# BuyLow
# Modified by tomsk, 1.18.2020 to add breakout/breakdown signals

# V1.0 - 02.09.2015 - BuyLow  - Initial release of IronRod SMI Histogram (Lower) study
# V1.1 - 01.18.2020 - tomsk   - Added the breakout/breakdown signals at @Playstation's request

# MA - yellow hma's are weak, red is bearish, green bullish.
# On the lower (shows hma angle)- anything above (green) the 0 angle line is bullish, below (red) bearish.
#
# The angle size is directly proportional to trend strength, so you easily see increasing or decreasing trend strength/momentum.
# I use the dark/light graduation as a doubling signal for strong moves.

@tomsk thanks man! is the multiplication of both [SMI * 0.996] and [AvgSMI then SMI * 1.004] needed because it needs a distinctive clearance to plot?
I forgot about the [input showBreakoutSignals = yes;]

@Playstation Exactly - it you don't adjust the position by that scaling factor then it would coincide with the other plots. I included it there for a cleaner visual view of the signal.
 
I am looking for one line at the bottom of this code on a 1 minute chart every time the %K crosses up thru the %D with an audio alert with a bell, chime or any sound that TOS has.....if anyone can write it I would really appreciate it...ty

Code: 
declare lower;
#SMI engine
input gridsize = 1.0;
input aoscale = 1;
input smiscale = 100;
input audio = yes;
input label = yes;
input smilimit = 40.0;
input adxvline = yes;
def aofast = 5;
def aoslow = 34;

def percentDLength = 3;
def percentKLength = 5;
def smihull = 3;
def anglescalingfactor = 1 / gridsize;

def min_low = Lowest(low, percentKLength);
def max_high = Highest(high, percentKLength);
def rel_diff = close - (max_high + min_low) / 2;
def diffx = max_high - min_low;

def avgrel = ExpAverage(ExpAverage(rel_diff, percentDLength), percentDLength);
def avgdiff = ExpAverage(ExpAverage(diffx, percentDLength), percentDLength);
#plot SMI =  if avgdiff != 0 then avgrel / (avgdiff / 2) * smiscale else 0;
plot SMI = ExpAverage( if avgdiff != 0 then avgrel / (avgdiff / 2) * smiscale else 0, 3);
#smi.setDefaultColor(getColor(1));
SMI.DefineColor("Up", Color.DARK_GREEN);
SMI.DefineColor("Down", Color.DOWNTICK);
SMI.DefineColor("flat", Color.GRAY);
SMI.AssignValueColor(if SMI >= SMI[1] then SMI.Color("up") else SMI.Color("down"));
SMI.SetLineWeight(4);
SMI.SetStyle(Curve.SHORT_DASH);

plot SMI1 = if avgdiff != 0 then avgrel / (avgdiff / 2) * smiscale else 0;
SMI1.SetDefaultColor(Color.GRAY);

plot upper = smilimit;
upper.SetDefaultColor(Color.BLUE);

plot lower = -smilimit;
lower.SetDefaultColor(Color.BLUE);
[CODE]
 
@Duece This should alert in both directions.
Code: 
Alert(SMI1 crosses above SMI, "SMI Cross Up");
Alert(SMI1 crosses below SMI, "SMI Cross Down");
