Hi @tosman!
Seems like you have the right idea. You can take the rules used for going long and basically flip them around for short signals. Should work pretty well. Nice question!

Hi @macattacktos!Hi @Christopher84
I watched the YT vid tonight, I've read every thread entry (took around 18 hours), taken notes, screenshots, code saves, just Fantastic stuff you are sharing, so I wanted to give major THANK YOU to you!!!
Two questions,
1. Can you talk about the difference between the Wide band style colored S/R cloud found in C3_Max vs the Line style colored S/R found in C3_v6 please & CC_v10 and maybe others? Is the wide band giving you more S/R price range history information and the line type is the average of that range possibly?
Also, in C3_Max, with the wide colored band S/R there are also additional yellow and green horizontal lines, are those pre-market or opening day S/R lines?
Thanks.
What a fantastic question! Sorry it’s taken me a while to get back to everyone. But let me give my thoughts on this.
In the original version of CC Candles and Confirmation Candles, the channels we’re basically price channels. The intermediate term channels were set to a 75 length the shorter term support and resistance channels were set a 20 length. They do a fair job of showing potential support and resistance especially if you back out on larger time frames. The color of the channels reflects agreement on the rise of the Keltner channels. if green the channels are pointing up, and red they are pointing down. The concept behind C3_Max is a bit different.
The OB/OS zones found in C3_Max are intended for two different purposes. Number one is to identify significant levels where price is heavily overbought or oversold. Sections where the bands flatten out tend to be significant support or resistance. The second thing the OB/OS zones can indicate is heavy trending states. This can be seen when the bands are actively wrapping price. This is especially true on lower time frames.
The yellow and green lines that you’re referring to, I call yellow candle (YC) levels. Yellow lines are extremely overbought levels and the lime green lines are extremely oversold levels. These levels may be some of the most significant price levels found on your chart. You will find that price tend to gravitate toward these levels use them as support and resistance as well as chop around these levels whenever it consolidates after a large move. Plot them on your chart, back out and look at how the price reacts at these levels. I think you’ll see what I’m saying. Thank you for such a great question and taking the time to look through the thread!! My apologies for my slow response (I’m currently in the hospital). I will be working on releasing more videos soon! Happy trading @macattacktos!
@Christopher84 Hope you get better soon. Take care.

@Christopher84 Thanks much for the great reply, get out of that hospital as quickly as you can! I'm sure you have a lot of watchers here wishing you the best in health and to get back home soon!!!
Get well soon!
Take Care Bro and Get well soon!!!

@Christopher84, Hope all is well and you're home soon
I have been using a similar setup for the past week - just started using Christopher's indicators and am catching up on this thread. I am using the 5 min and 15 min charts, but am not sure what values to set for "agperiod1" and "agperiod2". Suggestions on what values to set? Thanks.Christopher's clouds and candles strike again! On both the MNQ and MYM, price consolidated this morning, then dipped below the clouds hitting profit targets. Folks are probably tired of my pics, so I won't waste space posting them. At first, I was trading MTF clouds and confirmation candles on 5 min charts. The results were great, but when I switched to consensus candles and MTF clouds on 15 min charts, it was easier to find sweet spots for grabbing measured moves with fib targets.
Best wishes, happy trading, and happy weekend! And much gratitudeto Christopher for sharing these indicators!

Depends what time frame you trade on.
I trade on 2 min and use
5m
10m
15m
30m
Hr
Different timeframes will give different signals
Depends on the instrument and time of day. I typically analyze using a grid with several cells (such as 5 min, 15 min, 1 hour) and different aggregations in each cell. I want to see agreement across all three cells. For example, if the 5 min is showing a short but the hour is showing a long, I stay out until a good long entry comes up on the 5 min cell. I try to trade in the direction of the higher time frame trend, but that may not be on your trade plan.
My suggestion is that you plot a few cells with various aggregations. You can try what @RedToGreen suggests above and then plot different cells with different time frames and different aggregations. Or plot your 5 min grid with a variety of different aggregations. Then watch to see if there is significant difference in what is displayed. Watch whether one timeframe and aggregation seems more responsive to your needs than another. Go ahead and play around ... you won't break it.
Best wishes and happy trading!
PS- Christopher, if you're lurking, am still sending well wishes your way!
A couple charts today using my scalper settings...
As you can see here, not all but many times alerts start coming before the breakout.
Every so often they come after it's already run a bit but most of the time, I see good entries.
I also use the Hr B4
CC Max / Scalper one of the Best Indicators I've come across
where do you get the "CC Max / Scalper" indicator or is this what I am looking at?, thanks ahead

Hi has anybody tried making an oco order based on the v10 version of the confirmation candles? I am asking because I am in school when the market opens and I want to know if anybody can guide me through making one so I can trade with it.
The ToS platform provides the ability to use conditional orders for the simplest of scripts. This study is too complex for the conditional order module.
Hi @tosman!
The lower version contains the full code (not just the moving averages) and certain studies within the code will not work on SPX. I should be able to come up with a reasonable fix pretty quickly. I’m hoping to get back into the office tomorrow all being well. I’ll keep you posted @tosman.
PS: thanks to everyone for the well wishes while I was down. It was much appreciated!

Hi @RedToGreen I noticed in the code in post 1175 you modified you have a second set of AddCloud statements for separate Avg? compare statements and this causes the EMA clouds to be double painted and darker than just LIGHT_RED and LIGHT_GREEN, when both are true, is this something that matters and needs to be taken into account via different paint methods or is this just as expected that both will always be true? Here's the two sets of compares for you to view. I've viewed different tickers and different timeframes and so far have never seen a non-double paint view.Here's the code I'm using..
5 agg periods instead of 6
You're right, does look like the % label is gone....
There is no "X_ing" signal
You'll get continuous arrows as long as the conditions are true.
If the chart Bias is "Scalp Long", you'll never see a short signal and vice versa
The conditions may fade but the fuel has already been added, if you get my drift
I use the hour B4 to help stay out of bad setups
and yes, I changed the label colors...at least the "Green" ones
