Confirmation Candles Indicator For ThinkorSwim

Join useThinkScript to post your question to a community of 21,000+ developers and traders.

@Christopher84 Using the TS_Strategy for stocks, I have changed the mult setting to 1 per your notes on page 1. Any other changes in settings for various timeframes (on stocks) such as 1h, 4h, 1D etc? Thanks.
Hi @tosman!
It can be adjusted by using the ATR factor and ATR period to trade with just about any timeframe or asset (if mult is adjusted to match the asset). It’s really just up to the trader’s preference. I have shared a few of the timeframes and settings I like on the /es 3min and 15 min charts(although I’m sure they can be improved). As you have chance to play around with indicator, if y’all find good settings for various assets you are trading, please feel free to share them.
 
15 min strategy still performing this morning.

For those of you that like to scalp, the 15 min with the 3 min are looking to be a pretty powerful combo.

Next target hit. 15 min chart is reaching the strategy extremes for profitability (candles turn yellow).

Speaking of scalping, Scalper is still my favorite. This morning and yesterday it was spot-on for a good RTY entry that hit all fib profit targets. Watched the new TS Strat this morning on a 5 min chart with default settings. Looks like it hit targets too. Am not using TS because I trade fibs differently but am amazed at your generous sharing, Christopher! Thank you!

You are welcome @Trader Raider! The way I have applied the fib coefficients to the strategy profits is definitely a different approach than typical with fib levels, but I am liking what I am seeing. It seems the better the strategy performs on a given asset (ie the more dialed in it is), the stronger the fib targets are. Any how, I am enjoying this one quite a bit. The MTF_MA_Cloud isn't a bad combo with this indicator either. Thank you for all of your feedback Trader Raider! I really appreciate it. :)
 
Just updated the code on pg.1 to include an additional target and profit percentile label (shows the profit percentile on the current trade based on historical strategy performance. Values over 75%, corresponds with price above T6) .

Thank you @Christopher84 God bless you.

I want to share the setting I made for "Day" time for any symbol.
It is not perfect but if you want it for the long term it can help us a lot.

In TS Strategy v9.
-attr period = 4
-atr factor = 1.4
- mult = 1

there are so many bubbles floating over the bars. the chart looks so busy. I feel difficult to see how the chart itself goes. how do you manage that? Should I remove those bubbles? if so, it is against the purpose. I like the chart in #1411, there is no overlap of bars and bubbles. Do I need to change the timeframe to make it like that?

Hi @wshao8!
The main difference in the two images is the zoom. When zoomed in the chart bubbles become smaller in comparison to the candles. I definitely understand how you feel about chart bubbles on thinkorswim. You can turn them off in the settings if it gets to be too much for you.
 
I was actually just searching through the thread to see if anybody asked about sound alerts on Confirmation Candles 10, for the arrow signals (DOWNConfirmSignal, UPConfirmSignal). Is that possible? Thank you again by the way for this amazing set of indicators, they have helped me see price action in a whole new way!

Hi @krahsloop!
I just updated the code on pg.1 of the thread to include sound alerts for you. I'm really glad you have found my work useful. :)
