@theelderwand I'm curious, and I haven't read the manual. Why use close crosses above SMA200 vs ">" SMA200? Thanks!

 

[Shinthus]

Can't get this to work. There is a problem with "data" in the last line.

 

[markos]

Please add this to the top of your script so it can be tracked by rev. Thanks.

@markos I think the idea is to catch the stock crossing over rather than a steady state, I use Wealth Lab for backtesting and it seems to back test there pretty well as well. Thanks for the tip on the revision note. Added it now.
@Shinthus what seems to be the issue ?

 

[Shinthus]

Got this to work finally. I think it was my TOS having issues. Looks nice. Does anybody have any alternative settings they use for this?

 

[markos]

It works quite well. I get good signals. Thanks, @theelderwand !
@Shinthus On a Daily timeframe, look at trying a 65 Day EMA vs 200 day EMA. It's just a hunch... let us know

just clarifying - you mean 65 EMA vs 200 SMA? or 200 EMA. the default settings are 10EMA and 200SMA, I believe.

My mistake, it's the 65 EMA vs the 200 SMA. It might be too fast, try it & see.

 

[Shinthus]

IDK. I'm looking at Daily TF on many stocks and ETFs and i'm getting nearly 50% signals on candles that immediately drop significantly 1 day afterward. Even with the adjusted 65 EMA.

Examine what this is actually doing. A close cross above 200 SMA gives no hint of what the next candle may do. Hence your problem with a next candle drop. The better solution is just the cross of the 200 SMA with the 10 EMA At least you have the average of those number of days weighted in your favor. I understand it may be an attempt to enter earlier than a MA cross but also presents the problem of a close cross of the 200 and a failure of the 10 EMA to ever cross. This is complicating a simple cross.

 

[markos]

After living with this for awhile, i like the signals. The thing to watch for IMO is price action. Obviously, to me, if I get a signal in downtrend, I would tend to ignore it.

I know this thread is a year old, but if there are any updates or just a simple TOS share link, maybe I could get this thing to work? I copied and pasted both ways....with the " # CML Buy the Dip Indicator rev 1 by theelderwand in uTS 8-7-19 " on top of the script and without....neither is producing any "yellow arrows" in any time frame. What am I doing wrong???????
