Confirmation Candles Indicator For ThinkorSwim

 
Good people...

I recently combined C3 Max Spark with Triple Exhaustion (dots)+ PLD (converted to study)(grey line)+ Horserider Volume Labels. I also changed a few "inputs" to "def" as I never messed with most of them anyway.

Good afternoon @Christopher84 - on the 1 hour TS9/1 month chart.. what leads to a buy/sell signal on the 1 hour chart? Is it closing over a certain level/moving average/something else? Looking forward to the next down arrow :)

Hi @lolreconlol,
Great question! It really depends on your strategy and time horizon. When using TS_v9, I am looking at the Confirmation Level (candle color) on the month chart and the direction and position of the averages (pointing up or down, crossed up or down). If the the candles are red and the averages are pointing downward (bearish conditions), I am looking for short positions only. If the averages cross down but the candles go green (potentially coming out of an OS zone) I will take intraday long positions). I will only hold long positions when averages are crossed upward, and the candles are green (bullish conditions). I hope this helps! Happy trading @lolreconlol!
 
HELP!

Can someone do me a solid and point me in the right direction?

I would like to use the following conditions to create a label for bullish or bearish bias that would remain "Bull" or "Bear" until condition two or four occurs.

1. Conditions for bearish bias at open:
  • Horserider Lower - Sell Volume is above average at open (within the first few candles of whatever timeframe chart) (the grey line is the average)
  • EMAD Lower - EMA pointing down / red
2. Bearish bias ends when:
  • Horserider Lower - First time buy volume goes above the average

3. Conditions for Bullish bias at open:
  • Horserider Lower - Sell Volume is above average at open (within the first few candles of whatever timeframe chart) (the grey line is the average)
  • EMAD Lower - EMA pointing up / green
4. Bullish bias ends when:
  • Horserider Lower - First time sell volume goes above the average

So far I have the following (the labels are at the end of the code)... just not sure how to accomplish the time portion (assuming what I have is correct)

Hi @HODL-Lay-HE-hoo!
I just had a spare minute to play around with this idea. Here's a sharelink https://tos.mx/t0mcb3w. This isn't a well polished code ( just a start). See what you think. Happy trading!

Hi @HODL-Lay-HE-hoo!
Here's a share link for the Bull/Bear Label (on its own) as well as version that will paint the candles (incase you would like to see what the label would have read) https://tos.mx/xrNMbPt. If the candles are green, the label will read "Very Bullish". If candles go from green to gray or red to gray label will read either "Bullish Retracement" or "Bearish Retracement" depending on conditions. If the candles are red, the label will read "Very Bearish". Hope you find it useful! Look forward to your feedback. If everyone likes this, I will polish it up a bit and make it available on pg.1 of the thread.

Chris, Do you keep the timeframe and Agperiod1 on Day? or should we change to chart timeline?

Hi @METAL!
In the limited time that I have watched this indicator, I used the day setting and it looked pretty good. My thought was to utilize the higher aggregation period for the volume to identify the trend environment and use the EMAD_Range to determine appropriate entries/exits in line with the higher timeframe volume profile. It does open the possibility of repainting until the volume aggregation period closes. It will be interesting to see what holds best. I will be watching closely to see how it performs. Also, I will be looking forward to everyone’s feedback.

Definitely use caution with this new Bull/Bear indicator. Unfortunately it appears to repaint a lot. I'm working on a few different ideas to keep it from repainting.

Yes it does. Thank you. I tested it and it really looks promising except for how far out it repaints. I tested different timeframes and found 1hr to be pretty good for scalp attempts. Leaving Aggr period on D.
 
First off thank you @Christopher84 for working on this.

As usual I found myself thinking "What is this telling me that C3 Max Spark is not already telling me?" (which is odd considering I requested this indicator). I am not sure how the re-painting will affect my opinion as I have not had much time to watch it during market hours... that being said I added the "C3 Line Only" study and let the Bull Bear Indicator paint the candles... at which point I realized it does seem to be useful as the candles during a pullback in a bullish trend (aka retracement) are painted grey and the candles during a larger down trend (reversal) are painted red - As Chris stated previously (if I understood him correctly) it helps one to focus on the larger trend while viewing a lower timeframe.

Thanks Chris... I'll be watching. Thanks!

Hi @HODL-Lay-HE-hoo!
Here's a different combination using my MTF Moving Averages and instead of EMAD_Range. It seems to limit some of the repainting and gives a more consistent read with the volume profile. See what you think https://tos.mx/64t1Tu4. Looking forward to everyone's feedback.
