Confirmation Candles Indicator For ThinkorSwim

imo this triggers way too many reversal alerts.. although you can disable the plots but i think you should keep it more simple.
I completely agree. In its current form, it’s more like “look to buy” or “look to sell” not just a straightforward reversal. I’m still working on refining the signals. I’ll take another crack at it over the weekend.
 
Hi rfb! The candles will still paint correctly for SPX, however, the signals and lower study will not show unfortunately. Thank you for trying it out and for your feedback!
@chrisopher84 thanks for all your hard work and generosity. As a convention, where do we find the latest? I couldn't find the v6 that you referred.

Hi Jonas99! V.6 is at the bottom of page 2 in this thread. Let me know if you are still unable to find it. Happy to help however I can.🙂

Thanks again for all your efforts. Just curious, do you know if V.6 will have the capability to work with SPX? If not, do you know why your study won't work with SPX? Thx!
 
Hi - the indicator is much appreciated - just curious if anyone has been able to get this work with a scan - I get the error "the complexity of the expression suggests that it may not be reliable with real-time data" when trying to scan, for example, for UpConfirmSignal is true - thanks very much
 
First of all thank you so much for this great work . FRIDAY I noticed ( apple and x )'s moving up , so I returned to their chart using ur study , I found it great with upper study but the lower is different . so which one I go with ? or for the best result go with upper and Lower as AAPL chart .

and again thank you so much .

It looks like the confirmation level shot up very quickly making it generate the up arrow for entry (crossed your confirmation level 7) while almost simultaneously going into an OB condition. This can definitely happen when the market makes a strong move. Just because the agreement line is OB doesn't necessarily mean its time to sell. I generally look for flat sections in the lower indicator that fall in the OB or OS levels to help anticipate the shift to the opposite direction or an exit of the line out of OB or OS. I hope this helps. Please let me know it I missed anything.

Can you please show an example what you mean by "flat sections in the lower study".

Thanks

@nitrous, far be it from me to answer for @Christopher84. I've been looking for that "flat" bit too. Here's what I found. On Friday, about 3:30pm, the indicator flattened (and the line turned gray) before the dump on the MES, MNQ, and MYM. And this evening, there was a bit of a gap up and there was flattening again on the MES and MNQ. Hopefully the yellow circles show what I'm referring to.

If you pull up a chart where price made a big move, I think you'll see where the indicator goes flat, the line turns gray, and a brownish cloud forms.

@Christopher84, please correct me if my interpretation on this is incorrect!

Perfect example Trader Raider! When grouped with the Super OB/OS (which also generates flat sections as well) it becomes even more potent as a reversal indication. The current version for the reversal signals is signaling when the line goes flat in OB/OS.
 
Hi Christopher. Happened to come across this study and found it very interesting. Can you confirm if this will work on the SPX index? I wasn't able to see any indications using SPX. Thank you for your efforts and what looks to be a great tool for the toolbox!
Hi rfb! I took some time today and modified the Confirmation Candles and Confirmation Lower to allow them to work on the SPX for you. I had to omit 2 of the studies, but it still functions well. Sorry for the delay.

The reversal signals still need quite a bit of work. They tend to work better on hour+ timeframes. However, the candles do a pretty good job on their own.

Hello, Can you please explain why some candles are colored solild and others empty ? Also, the reversal alerts from 1-6, what do they precisely indicate? I am confused there. Thank you.

Hi Diamondhands!
The way the candles fill (up or down) is determined in your chart settings. Select the gear icon at the top of your chart and go to appearance. The reversal alerts are still being worked on and in their current version (just posted on the main page of this thread), they tend to be more accurate on timeframes of 1-4 hour charts. I am working on them and should have something better soon. Very trick thing to try and isolate. However, the candles do a really good job of showing reversals all on their own (especially if you are using something to help indicate support and resistance). Hope this helps out. Let me know how it goes.
 
Hello Christopher84!

Thank you so much for your swift reply. Yes your right its to do with appearance settings and has been changed now.

The confirmation factor is set to 3 ( as per your V.7) on the first page. Is that the best setting or how shall we tweak it to adjust the entries? I mean 3 is the number of factors it has to be ticked or checked before giving entry signal ?
 
Hi rfb! I took some time today and modified the Confirmation Candles and Confirmation Lower to allow them to work on the SPX for you. I had to omit 2 of the studies, but it still functions well. Sorry for the delay.
Code:
#Confirmation Candles SPX
#Created 04/15/2021 by Christopher84
#Select the level of agreement among the 13 indicators included.
#Changed 04/19/2021 to V.3 - Removed ChaikinOsc and replaced with STARCBands. Added squeeze alert.
#Changed 04/20/2021 to V.4 - Added Keltner Channel, Labels, and Buy and Sell Zones. Mean Reversion and Breakout Labels added. Reversal_Alert points added.
#Changed 4/22/2021 to V.5 - Removed Buy/Sell clouds. Created new reversal alert buy(gray points) and take profit (red points). Increase factorK.
#Changed 4/23/2021 to V.6 - Refined reversal signals. Fully integrated Super_OB_OS indicator. Fixed candles going yellow if colored_candles is off.
#Changed 4/26/2021 to V.7 - Refined reversal signals and included Keltner Bandwidth. Adjusted Keltner Channel levels.
#Changed 4/26/2021 to SPX - # MFI and Klinger Histogram.
