Heikin_Ashi Indicator For ThinkOrSwim

So far so good @MasterSteve . Today I saw a good setup on /GC (after a double bottom) and took it. Cleared around $1200 in about 3 minutes (2 contracts) as I recall. That's amazing for me. Instead of following the formula as I stated earlier, I decided to not be greedy and took profits at VWAP. Basically, I chickened out. lol

@RickK...nice!!! I know what you mean regarding chickening out. My pre scan, that I referenced in the thread, had SCKT at the top of the watchlist. I too chickened out with that trade and left over $10,000.00 on the table...but it was a very good day ;) . Using the Heikin Ashi trend indicator with the MTF etc. and my trading plan has resulted in profits. The pullbacks (1, 2, 3 waves) were apparent but old habits can be my kryptonite. (when day trading or swing trading)

Please see below the updates for the chart, the Fibonacci , multi time frame etc. Once again thanks for your input as mentioned previously, my goal was to obtain feedback and support from members.
Part of my strategy is no the first page (#1) and my goal was to have a simple indicator on my trade that allowed for easier entry and exits. During the past months I have been tweaking, revising, abandoning and adopting some of the scripts that I used. At this time I am "satisfied" with my results but I know I will be constantly updating looking for "perfection"

Strategy -Day and Swing Trading
First 5 gappers on scan,( gappers scan, momentum scan, low float scan etc), Low Float – under 100m shares (if a stock has momentum will consider taking the trade if it is favorable), Stocks with a strong catalyst, Market Trend -Uptrend or Downtrend ( I don't short stocks as a rule but will do so depending on the market), utilize fibonacci retracement level (look for gappers to retrace 61.8%)

Entry - Heikin Signals – confirm with volume, catalysts, multiple time frame (main plot must reflect the trend of 3 or more time frames) RSI/Stoch/SVE, market cycle etc.
Exit - Heikin signal - confirm with SVE,Stoch, MTF etc.
Stop loss - just below the Heikin reverse signal, use trailing stop and stop loss.

Now that I have adopted this indicator to be used within my trading plan, I realize my technical and fundamental knowledge helps with assessing risk/rewards even though the Heikin Smoothing trend indicator does a pretty good job of ensuring trades are profitable. After using bollinger bands, TTM Squeeze, moving averages, VWAP, Supertrend, Trendpainter etc. my profit taking is more consistent with this indicator and using the abovementioned confirmations before entering and/or exiting a trade (utilizing alerts on the chart helps as well).

Disclaimer- this is how I use the HA_smoothing indicator within my trading plan. It works for me. Everyone needs to find what works for them. This indicator is not the holy grail but I have found that combined with fundamentals and technicals it can take away some indecisiveness and keep one in the trade longer. On the flip side it can get you out of a trade and decrease the risk.

The first chart shows the updated script with less signals. The signals are based on the swing high swing low script (see below.) As you can see I have been using the new MTF with 6 timeframes. However, only 3 of them are included in the results which are shown in the top plot. When 3 or more of the timeframes are in an bullish/green it is plotted on the top chart. Similarly, the red depicts bearish trend and black neutral.

Additionally, I combined the stochastic and the SVE_Stoc_RSi into one oscillator on the lower chart. This helps identify the 123 wave pullbacks, retracement etc.

This chart shows a longer swing and has less signals. It is based on the zig zag high low script which I adapted. I mostly use this for swing trading but it works great when day trading as well.

This is the 3rd reversal script that can be used. This is another swing high swing low script that I adapted. I have experimented with all of them and based on personal preferences you can make your selection.

This chart shows the HA smoothing indicator with the candles. I keep the candles as I prefer seeing the traditional movement. Eventually, having the HA smoothing indicator without the candles will become the norm. Furthermore, I am able to see the set up of the 123 wave during up or downtrends (this is also evident when using the HA smoothing indicator separately).

Here is the chart with the line instead of traditional candles.

This is my watchlist. It consists of the signals, the MTF top line which plots the trend (3 or more in a trend(bullish or bearish)), the relative volume, the SVE,Count (used to confirm the trend reversals) and the price change as of the market open. I also place which stocks can be shorted and those that cannot be shorted on my watchlist..(HTB/ETB). If markets are favorable for shorting I would do so but I seldom short stocks.

The fib lines are still a challenge. I moved the bubbles to the left and incorporated the coefficient and price together as I was not successful in shortening the lines. I am still awaiting members contribution in this area.

def swinglow2 = if halow < lfor2 and halow < lback2 then 1 else 0;
#Finally, this line is actually defining what a "swing low" is. It says, if the low of this bar is lower than the two bars after this one AND the low of this bar is also lower than or equal to the lowest of the previous eight bars, then this bar is a swing low. So, what that means is that in order to determine whether a point on the chart is either a swing high or a swing low, it must have eight bars before the bar in question, as well as, two bars after it. Looking at the picture above, it can be seen that point "A" is a "swing high" because it is higher than the 8 bars before it AND it is higher than the 2 bars after it. Likewise, point "C" is a "swing low" because it is lower than the 8 bars before it AND it is lower than the 2 bars after it. (I know it's a line chart, not a bar chart. smiling smiley Just work with me here.)

@Joseph Patrick 18 ...thank you!!! FYI to everyone. I turned those off after making some changes. Those script with the hashtag I am no longer and/or interchanging based on swing/day trading. Copying and pasting in the wee hours of the morning as well as trying to clean up my code does not go together :):giggle::giggle:💃💃.
 
@Joseph Patrick 18 ..some of those hashtags were deliberate.

Anyone who will be utilizing the code please see some changes below (I have made the changes in my original code) .

"def Trendd = if haOpen < haopen then 1 else 0;" should be .. "def Trendd = if haclose < haopen then 1 else 0;

PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE HASHTAGS!!!! ONLY REMOVE THEM IF YOU PLAN ON USING THAT PARTICULAR SIGNAL. THERE ARE 3 DIFFERENT SIGNALS IN THE SCRIPT!!!!! IF YOU REMOVE ALL THE HASHTAGS YOU WILL HAVE NUMEROUS SIGNALS ON YOUR CHART!!!!!!!!!

Hi BonBon, I just added #'s because of errors showing up. Which script is the updated correct one? The one at post #1 or the #134? Also will this script do the top and bottom indicators like shown in your images? Only reason why I am asking is that it shows as a lower study. I am not getting the HA smoothing on the upper study at all and the lower study on say 15M TF it shows the smoothed HA with no regular MTF lower study and say on a 5M TF it shows your MTF lower study but it is compressed even tho I have "fit studies enabled"? Thanks

There are no errors on my end. I am currently at this moment trading with the script. The top and bottom looks exactly the same as my pic. Please look at your settings to determine the error. Please see below my current chart that I am using to trade. Same script that I sent. The "declare lower" assignment plots the MTF on the lower chart. Let me know if assistance is needed.

@Joseph Patrick 18 ....Here is another that I traded in the pre-market. Its the same code but I used two signals to further time my entry. This chart is not showing the MTF as I use 2 monitors with split charts on one of the monitor. The MTF shows on the other monitor screen. Its the same script that I posted(minus the RSI oscillator).

Hi, so the only script that you are using for both these photo's are the single script in post #134? Thanks and sorry to bother

When using the original code are you seeing the same output??????? Did you change the sequence of the script?????? As you can see from my previous post our charts are entirely different. Can you send me a screenshot of your chart settings??
 
i couldn't get the original code to show the MTF on lower, so i just copied it from the code and made it a new lower study, then deselected the plots in the upper study. hope that makes sense.

Yes... its the same script from #134. Its no bother....... as a Dr. (Ph.D) and educator, research, problem-solving and knowing that different perspectives, levels of understanding etc is unique to us as individuals ..... By all means ask questions to ensure you understand how to install the chart correctly. It defeats our purpose (mine, yours and other members) if installation issues and potentials pitfalls are apparent and we do not address them.

Another option is to make two studies. One for the upper chart and the other for the lower chart. The MTF script begins the lower chart. Let me know if this works. If it does then this solution can be utilized by other members.
 
yes it is strange. perhaps if you used Share the Chart, sharing everything on the chart, and posted the link it'd put everyone on the same page.

@floydddd .... nice!!!!! great minds think alike!!!!! 💃 💃 💃 I just suggested this to @Joseph Patrick 18 . I find it interesting that the chart is not appearing on our TOS in the same manner as mine.
Hi BonBon:) Ok I did what you and Floyddd suggested. I just split the script in post #134 in 2. The upper study was from the MTF (not including) all the way up, and the lower study was from the MTF all the way down not including anything above the MTF.



Thanks appreciate taking the time out to help me:)

Hi, when you say there are 3 different signals, in order to use them I would remove #...are the three, #plot trendup, #plot trenddown and the #zig zag line? Sorry it's just that I am slowly learning, little by little. Thanks

Excellent!!!!! You are seeing the yellow, pink colors to the right of the MTF because you increased your "chart expansion" size. If you decrease your expansion size (based on your preference) it will show red or green only and/or only a minimal yellow pink green etc.
