Tom Demark Sequential 9 (TDS 9) is a technical indicator that helps identify a possible trend change. Specifically, if 9 consecutive candles close higher than the previous four, a reversal or correction in a stock's trend is possible.

What is the proper way to utilize this DeMark 9 Indicator. I have read a little bit about it although this one seems to be slightly different.
 
What is the proper way to utilize this DeMark 9 Indicator. I have read a little bit about it although this one seems to be slightly different.
The DeMark website states:
"The 9 output looks for a series of consecutive price comparisons to define the underlying environment. Generally speaking, these 9 results are often followed by a price reversal, with the impact and duration defined by other elements of the indicator."

Great system..question, it is possible to add arrow instead of the bubble number? example if is 7-8-9 bubble , just show 3 arrow. thank you in advance!
 
change to arrow

thank you very much @mmm777 , the arrow is not line up with the bubble, is a lot of arrow compare to the bubble. thank you in advance.

Is this similar to the "Sequence Counter" study in ThinkorSwim?
Have you compared this to the built in Sequence indicator? Just curious as I've read of several different 'flavors' of DeMarks stuff

You could say that the ToS sequence counter and Demark 9 Theory and the other 'flavors' of DeMarks stuff are similar. They all look for when a sequence of consecutive candles close higher than the previous four.

This pattern is thought to signal an overextended price move, one that is likely to change direction.
The DeMark 9 espouses that the magic number for the sequence is 9

can it mark NO 1?
You can use the ToS Sequence Counter to easily find number 1.

DeMark is the similar to the ToS Sequence Counter; except it is set up to specifically find the overextended move in the higher sequence counts.
So no, it is not meant to find number one.

Thanks for the clarifications on the difference.
 
is there a way to use this in a scan since theres not a plot that i could use? thanks

for when the demark hits 9 so the trend is possibly over and theres a reversal coming thanks

For example, I'd like to scan for all 9's (bubbles) appearing within graphs of various symbols on the daily time frame, as this classic strategy produces a healthy APR and Win Rate% over a 10 year period, outperforming the SPY handily, but I'd like to do more back testing analysis with the ability to scan for 9's within TOS. Is that possible? Scanning in this way does not appear to be possible using the script above. Thx
Were you able to scan for number nine? I'd like to do the same.

No, no one replied to my original request.

To create a scan:

replace these lines of code:
def TDUp = TD - td_vw;
def TDDn = TS - ts_vw;
with these:
plot TDUp = TD - td_vw;
plot TDDn = TS - ts_vw;

scan condition is:
tdup == 9
or
tddn == 9

Here is a tutorial for how to set up your scan condition in the scan hacker:

can it mark NO 1?
it could. The code is looking to start the bubble count at tdup or tddn >=7. You could lower that number.

#plotshape(TDUp==7?true:na,style=shape.triangledown,text="7",color=green,location=location.abovebar)
addchartbubble( (bubbles_on and tdup >= 7 and tdup <= 9), high, tdup, color.green, yes);
#plotshape(TDDn==7?true:na,style=shape.triangleup,text="7",color=red,location=location.belowbar)
addchartbubble( (bubbles_on and tddn >= 7 and tddn <= 9), low, tddn, color.red, no);
 
To create a scan:

change these lines of code:

to:


scan condition is:

Errors when changing that code to the new values:

Also I think you meant tddn >= 9 instead of tddn <= 9 (less than 9 would always be true?)

Your errors are not possible if you followed the directions.

1. copy & paste the study from https://usethinkscript.com/threads/demark-9-for-thinkorswim.11212/#post-99312
2. how to copy & paste: https://usethinkscript.com/threads/how-to-import-existing-thinkscript-code-on-thinkorswim.10/


To create a scan:

replace these lines of code:
def TDUp = TD - td_vw;
def TDDn = TS - ts_vw;
with these:
plot TDUp = TD - td_vw;
plot TDDn = TS - ts_vw;

scan condition is:
tdup == 9
or
tddn == 9

It is not possible to say where you went astray.
A wild guess would be that you ADDED the code instead of REPLACING the code.
