@nrk786 I have added a moving average to my version and use that to help indicate early entry and exit signals... I have also added a no trade zone but can't say that I've paid much attention to it... It also paints dots when the histogram gaps below/above the average and that is my weakness/reversal indicator... Here it is... Let me know what you think...
Ruby:
#ErgodicOsc
#Modified by rad14733 for personal use
#Added moving average and no trade zone
declare lower;
input longLength = 25;
input shortLength = 13;
input signalLength = 8;
input averageType = AverageType.Exponential;
plot ErgodicOsc = TrueStrengthIndex(longLength, shortLength, signalLength, averageType).TSI - TrueStrengthIndex(longLength, shortLength, signalLength, averageType).Signal;
plot ZeroLine = 0;
ErgodicOsc.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Histogram);
ErgodicOsc.SetLineWeight(3);
ErgodicOsc.DefineColor("Positive", Color.GREEN);
ErgodicOsc.DefineColor("Negative", Color.RED);
ErgodicOsc.AssignValueColor(if ErgodicOsc >= 0 then ErgodicOsc.color("Positive") else ErgodicOsc.color("Negative"));
ZeroLine.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(7));
plot avgErgodic = MovingAverage(AverageType.SIMPLE, ErgodicOsc, 8);
def noTradeValue = 2.5;
plot posNoTradeLine = noTradeValue;
plot negNoTradeLine = -noTradeValue;
plot longweak = if ErgodicOsc > 0 and ErgodicOsc < avgErgodic and ErgodicOsc < ErgodicOsc[1] and ErgodicOsc[1] > avgErgodic[1] then 0 else Double.NaN;
longweak.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.POINTS);
longweak.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);
longweak.SetLineWeight(5);
longweak.HideTitle();
plot shortweak = if ErgodicOsc < 0 and ErgodicOsc > avgErgodic and ErgodicOsc > ErgodicOsc[1] and ErgodicOsc[1] < avgErgodic[1] then 0 else Double.NaN;
shortweak.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.POINTS);
shortweak.SetDefaultColor(Color.MAGENTA);
shortweak.SetLineWeight(5);
shortweak.HideTitle();@rad14733 Thanks. I will review the details this morning.
The modified script looks better. One thing I didn't understand ( It also paints dots when the histogram gaps below/above the average and that is my weakness/reversal indicator... "). What the purple and blue dots indicate?. See the chart below.

@nrk786 The dots are my early indicators and for my use they fire a candle or two before my other indicators... You may need to tweak the indicator settings to what works best for your chart timeframe and security price range and volatility... They'll either work for you or they won't and they aren't 100% accurate, but they do help me... I use the same concept for almost every histogram indicator I use...
Thanks.

Rad14733 can you please explain how to use your version of this? As far as what entry and exit points you look for on this indicator? Thx
Sure... If you look at the image above in Post #53 you can see in the bottom indicator that there is a white MA line and colored dots on the zero line... The dot colors are ambiguous but they indicate when the histogram bars fall below the MA line, for positive bars, or above, for negative bars... This indicates weakness and potential reversal... When this happens you can watch for reversal or make an early entry/exit based on how the chart looks and what other indicators tell you... I trade with MA crossovers and other indicators and about 50% of the time an entry or exit can be made a bar or two before the crossover, providing lower entry price or greater profits... For a regularly traded symbol it is sometimes, but not always, beneficial to tweak the MA length for optimal performance... Sometimes the entry/exit benefit is far more than the one or two bars mentioned previously... For scalping this can be a real benefit... For some symbols there may be little benefit and that's where knowing the symbols you trade intimately comes into play... That's the overall concept...
I wouldn't necessarily consider the chart above to be a best case example... Watching the other indicators is still critical... I could probably provide an example or two if further clarification is required but I'd suggest just monitoring the concept and perhaps tweaking the average setting and evaluate whether it's worthwhile from there... As I've stated previously, I add the MA line to virtually every histogram indicator... If there are additional questions, just ask...
@JPIMP I currently monitor 30m, 10m, 5m, 3m, 1m, and sometimes 15m, for scalping and use my custom EMA_x5_Stack set to 8, 21, 34, 55, 89 and watch for 8/21 crossover... I find the 200 SMA to be too slow in responding for my liking and 89 EMA suits my needs well... I'm looking more for day to day and intraday movement rather than long term trends... In fact for some stocks I can run 3, 8, 13, 21, 34 or 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 stacks, depending on movement range... Those three combinations pretty much cover the entire price and volatility range of the symbols I follow for trading... And at times I may even turn off two mid to upper half and only plot something like 3, 8, 34... I have ample flexibility with my ever-evolving setup... Of course I do mix in a few other indicators as well...

How did you decide on the value of your NoTradeLines or dead zones? I would like to apply a similar system to other indicators, but I don't know how to make a reliable determination of the minimum value for a trade.
The NoTradeLines need to be adjusted for every instrument charted so I rarely pay attention to them and, in fact, tend to turn off those plots most of the time... They might come in handy if the indicator was to be incorporated into a more broad trading strategy...

@rad14733 So how would I go about adding MA lines to all the histograms that I currently use?
I am not a coder but looking at it... This is part of it ...
After adding above line would I just replace "ErgodisOsc" (below) with the name of whatever histogram I currently use ?
Thx

Code:
plot avgErgodic = MovingAverage(AverageType.SIMPLE, ErgodicOsc, 8);After adding above line would I just replace "ErgodisOsc" (below) with the name of whatever histogram I currently use ?

ErgodicOsc.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Histogram);
ErgodicOsc.SetLineWeight(3);
ErgodicOsc.DefineColor("Positive", Color.GREEN);
ErgodicOsc.DefineColor("Negative", Color.RED);
ErgodicOsc.AssignValueColor(if ErgodicOsc >= 0 then ErgodicOsc.color("Positive") else ErgodicOsc.color("Negative"));
ZeroLine.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(7));Thx
Looking for coding help for scanning options using ErgodicOsc. I need the scan to read the histo closing above "zeroline" or changing colors to green for confirmation. Current scan is not accurate and looks for crosses only. I cant seem to figure out how to code for closed histo bars. Thanks

I I have a question. I have 2 indicators layered on top of each other, but every time I zoom in or move my chart the indicators separate. Is there a code that you can add so they both are aligned at the 0 line?
I tried to upload the screenshot, but it won't let me. I am using Ergostic and Squeeze indicator

@candlestix : Sounds like a scaling issue...I just worked on a similar issue...
@candlestix : Area 1 highlights the overlaying of the Squeeze indicator by the ErgodicOsc indicator. As a result of using the two default indicators without changing the code you get the scaling issue I mentioned previously. The Scale is in percentages instead of numbers. Also, the Zero Lines are off.
Area 2 shows the proper overlaying of the two indicators where the Scale should and does have values revolving around a common Zero Line. In my opinion, the merging of these two indicators makes the newly combined indicator difficult to read, due to using two histograms for display of the data...
Below are three options to choose from:
Option 1: The original merging of the two indicators complete with two histograms and the aforementioned readability issue...
Option 2 : Changes the ErgodicOsc from a histogram to a line with the original coloring intact. Once again, this can be difficult to read in spots...
Option 3: Keeps the ErgodicOsc as a line and changes the coloring to white for contrast, clarity and easy readability...
Below is the respective code for each of the options:
