Mr StanL loved to teach. He also gave us the 200 page Manual that can be found in the Tutorials. Please read all of the notes throughout this script. Stan left us clues. The reason the bubbles are on the chart is to show what each indicators setting is along with what is does.

On the chart, line 3.5 and 28 need the code adjusted. This code is in a lower, just push it up. Please work with it and learn from it. Have fun exploring!

# OneGlance by StanL Version 1.0 5/1/14 Recovered from BOC's OneNote
# V1.1 Markos 1-10-2020 Changed then if colorUPTICK else colorDOWNTICK TO color green else color red also shortened some bubbles. Via UI I changed the weight of the lines to better fit them.#
#
# Hint:The 'OneGlance' study evaluates 13 criteria in a bullish(green)/bearish(red) dashboard presentation. All study parameters and the bullish-bearish-triggers may be set via inputs.
# OVERVIEW: 'OneGlance' is by StanL 4/30/14. Emphasis has been put on clarity and flexibility: clarity via bubbles and labels; flexibility via input-setable parameters and triggers to match your trading style. The info bubbles in rdite studies often state the default values buil into TOS' studies.
# USAGE: 'OneGlance' uses up a lot of a chart's real estate and is much more readable when not squeezed; perhaps as an only lower study. One viewing option, when comparing a 'OneGlance' item to a corresponding full TOS chart, is to turn off the price data in 'chart Settings'. Depending on your vision quality and space availability, you may find a magnifier usage useful (google Magnifixer freeware).
# POINT-OF-VIEW: 'OneGlance' is oriented (parameters and triggers) towards defining the bullish aspects of the studies used. Realize that if a study is not bullish, then it is not necessarily bearish. If you are bearish oriented, i.e. looking for short-opportunities, the modifying of parameters and triggers can enhance you bearish orientation.
# FUTURE: Although 'OneGlance' already uses a lot of real estate, there is no limit to additional studies being added except for space. Also, depending on your coding skills, certain user-preferred studies may be extracted to form a more-specific abridged 'OneGlance' utilizing less chart real estate and just the studies that you are most interested in.
#INPUTS: Because of the multitude of studies, the input list in 'Edit Studies' is long but components have been titled to make them self explanatory and with info-bubbles to further identify TOS default values.

#Bollinger Bands MOBO(MOmentum BreakOut)
#============================================
#Explanation of how this works. +/- 0.8 std deviation Bollinger Bands are the criteris for bullish/bearish plots. When the close rises above the upper band the signal is bullish and stays bullish until the close moves below the lower band when the plot turns to bearish and remains bearish until the close rises above the upper band.

@markos - I use this each day for /ES as a market direction and strength indicator. Have the charts set up as Day, Week and Month. Pulled it from TOS when you posted it - thank you!

Using this would of kept you out of a lot of large draw-downs. In my view does a nice job showing corrections verses bear markets using just the colors of the graph. Example 10/1/2019 - 10/14/2019 a simple correction. Compare this to 10/8/2018 - 2/11/2019 which was a mild bear.

Thanks @markos, if anyone sees value in any of the pieces and want to evolve it either as a slimmer csa or new study to support a trading plans let me know.

Thanks, I use it on a daily & weekly as well. The bright colors help me pay attention.

@diazlaz the study needs work as you can see with the RSI. It's old code.
Could you look into what it would take to put the 4 color chart of the 2nd study into the OneGlance 1.1 in the first post?
 
Interesting. I am gonna have to check this out.
@markos how do you make scans using the stoplight?
 
@Tostechnical The OneGlance and the first post are not meant for scans. they are visual to help keep you on the right side of the trade.
Both studies should be checked on multiple time frame screens or chart grid, just as @mc01439 shows above.

This looks interesting! Where can I find the code? Thanks...
 
@markos I really like this! I took out some and left the ones I really wanted and put it into a script.

@MBF Since you removed several components of the script you essentially have to remap the remaining components to align with the Y axis that makes sense. It's getting late here but see if the following quick fix works for you. It should look much better from the previous version

Code:
#====== MACD =======
#========= Note about the two MACD indicators below =======
# HOTES: People use the MACD for decision making in two ways. The first below is when the MACD line crosses above the signal line. This is also when the MACD histogram goes above zero. This

method gives early indications.
#The second frequent use of the MACD is when the MACD itself (value) crosses aboce the zero line. This is a less risky use of the MACD but may sacrifice early entry and related profits.
#==== end of notes ========

@tomsk Thank you. I see what I did wrong. Good grief I must have been tired. Could have just turned them off in the original. FFS! :rolleyes: :oops:
 
@MBF Noticing that there was duplicate code surrounding the two different MACD presentation, I used the opportunity to clean up the code, improve logic flow as well as catch NaN values that was causing strange colors to be displayed in the expansion space. I didn't know what to name the study so as a placeholder I used the name "One Glance MBF Customized". Here it is, and you should be able to make modifications based on this one to suit your preferences.

Um ... :::tiptoeing into the room::: @tomsk ... I am running my LBR scan, the one that came with TOS. I run it with the fast crossing above the slow within 2 to 3 bars on whatever TF and I will go to look at that time frame LBR (I've even tried just a plain ole MACD with my 3/10) but when I look its going down or up AND it has crossed 7 bars ago. What am I doing wrong here?
 
@MBF I've got a couple of comments. Firstly this might not be the most appropriate thread to ask about follow up questions on the LBR. Suggest that you repost your query under the LBR thread to enable ease of searches. Otherwise @BenTen would be kept busy by moving posts around to more appropriate threads to facilitate easier searches by folks interested in that topic

Secondly your query is unclear, so when you do repost to the LBR thread, post the actual study/scan you are using and state explicitly what you're looking for, aggregation periods, etc so that readers can get up to speed rather than have to second guess or make assumptions about the request. A golden rule I keep is when in doubt OVER communicate rather than under communicate
