DEEPWATER_THE ONE For ThinkOrSwim

The code gives plenty of great buy signals. It's figuring out when to sell and not sell too early. So I trade with a yellow + green spikes as buys and wait for an RSI cumulative Purple sell
That’s the point I was getting at earlier. Your buy signals are great, but your sell signals aren’t triggered in downtrends. This makes scalping a mean reversion during a downtrend, with this indicator, extremely risky if relying on the exit signal. This will happen on a 1 minute chart just as it will a day chart. It’s difficult to find the balance.

Should sell signals be triggered in down trends? That would be the job of stop loss orders. What your asking for is Clairvoyance. When a buy signal is generated it is because you met whatever conditions you set to trigger that buy signal. Now what you might be on to is that every buy signal needs to be paired to a sell signal. and if the price moves so many percent against the buy signal you trigger a sell to stop out your position. What we would have to figure out is how much slippage you or I want to tolerate. See the slippery slope we are on Chris?

“That would be the job of stop loss orders”Then why have sell signals at all?.“Should sell signals be triggered in down trends?” Yes, especially since that’s where your buy signals are triggered. It would serve to keep traders out of failed breakouts. Seems reasonable and doable. You just haven’t defined that condition yet. Your other signals are great though, and please don’t feel like I’m putting your indicator down. It really catches some nice signals.
 
I updated the Page 1 code and placed a 5/6/2021 Revision date based on some feedback today. Should see a few more sells based off RSI overbought. TY
Thank you.

plot TrendReversal20 = 1 - (((RSIAvg3 >= 68 and RSI < RSIAvg3[-2]) and RSI3OverBoughtpivit)/ 2) ;
plot TrendReversal20a = 1 - ((((RSIAvg3 >= 60 and RSIAvg3 < 68 )and RSI < RSIAvg3[-2]) and RSI3OverBoughtpivit) / 4) ;

- RSIAvg3[-2] is still a bit worry some for me. Still looking ahead and plotting after 2 bars into the future.

Good point. Definitely getting more sells now with it changed to RSIAvg3[2]. That was a key error. I updated page 1 code. Ty so much Miklosh.

OK Update your code from page 1 DEEPWATER_THE ONE and tell me if it is any better. I am running it with your confirmation code to see if they compliment
 
I appreciate you guys making up these coded indicators. It's a great way to learn the language. I might try this one, but TOS already goobles up so many resources on my 12 year old laptop. And I only use a SPY chart and a market-watch page. Not much else running.
 
I call this study THE ONE. It is basically throw everything but the kitchen sink into one study that would help both a new trader and an experienced trader, Alert me to things gapping, stocks suddenly seeing large volume, stocks with RSIs in extreme ranges. There are so many widgets of script in here that I look forward to others trying to improve it for the group. It is my payback to all of you who taught me so much and were unselfish with your knowledge and code. This is the one study I can not live without. I have 3 monitors and 30 charts I watch and "THE ONE" is the only indicator under each chart. I recently added what I call cumulative RSI extreme to it. What it does is if RSI goes overbought or oversold it starts cumulating and incrementing a count that seems to give a pretty good sell or buy signal. I have never seen this done and it is some neat code. I also look at MACD as it rounds over the top or bottom to trigger buy or sell signals. I do this with Spikes. Spikes from the top down are sells. Spikes from the Bottom up are buys. This is my first post, I just registered after lurking for years.

When you copy this code to the clipboard (CTRL - c), hit Studies, Edit Studies, on the left side Create, delete the plot Data = close; and paste the code on page 1 you copied into the space (CTRL - v). Up at the top left it will default name Newstudy blah blah bla. Name it DEEPWATER_THE ONE or whatever you want to name it. Hit OK and it should be added to the bottom of your chart. If you have a bunch of studies already loaded they may not all fit below your chart where you can SEE THEM. You may have to move it up or delete Studies your not using. Hope this helps

Hi @Deepwater - Thanks for sharing this study. This doesn't work for SPX, is there something I can comment out in the code for it to work on SPX?
