Ben's Swing Trading Strategy + Indicator

I wouldn't call this a course. My goal is zero fluff. I will jump right into my current watchlist, tell you the ThinkorSwim indicator that I'm using, and past trade setups to help you understand my swing trading strategy.

I'm Interested

Quick Question ? is this is super trend that you are using?

@ajsimon_us By "SUPER TREND" in your reference to @blakecmathis shared grid above, I presume you're referring to the candle colors?
If so, here's the statement that does it for you

AssignPriceColor(if Colorbars ==1 then colorbars.color("buy_signal_bars") else if colorbars ==2 then colorbars.color("Sell_Signal_bars") else colorbars.color("neutral"));

As @blakecmathis pointed out it definitely is not a "Super Trend" indicator at work!

Have a great evening ahead

BTW you can only have one AssignPriceColor() statement in your study, so you can lump in as many conditions as you wish within that one statement. The way that it's implemented in @blakecmathis code is the usual way but I have seen far more complicated conditional statements being used in other studies!

@tomsk I couldn't write the code for a single vertical line on a chart if my life depended on it. These are all written from the great dudes on this site such as yourself!! I just know how to delete specific lines of code to capture what I'm chasing: simplicity.
 
"Chinese state media Xinhua reported Sunday that the two sides had "constructive talks" on trade in a high-level phone call on Saturday but gave no further details on the timing of a possible deal." Considering China has been the contrarian during this whole process, I think this is a really good sign that a trade deal is coming. Might be a volatile week trading ES!!

@blakecmathis Sure you can, just take it apart one piece at a time. Since you mentioned vertical line, here's a real simple way to draw a vertical line at the 09:30 RTH open, on an intraday chart of course!

declare hide_on_daily;
input start = 0930;
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(start) == 0 and secondsTillTime(start) == 0, "RTH OPEN 9:30 AM ", Color.Cyan, Curve.Short_Dash);
 
@tomsk Would it be possible to implement a buy/sell signal on the 1000t chart based on a CCI trend change on the 2000t chart? I drew that buy signal in that I highlighted just to provide an example

@blakecmathis I suppose anything is possible provided you accurately define what CCI trend change means. I'm not really sure what studies have been loaded in your chart above - it sure does not have any indication of any CCI studies in there. Personally I use time charts but I suppose by extension the concept can be carried forth to tick charts.

@tomsk I like tick charts because they reveal the true price action as far as scalping goes. With my current setup, tick charts are like a scalpel where if I used time charts it would be more like a chainsaw.
 
@tomsk Buy Signal = change from purple to cyan. Sell Signal = change from cyan to purple.

It appears you are referring to the lower study that is generating those purple/cyan arrows.
Sure does not seem to have any CCI component there.
Like I mentioned earlier I'm not really sure what studies have been loaded in your chart above
So long as the arrows have been identified, all you need is an Alert() statement and you're done
Not clear what you're looking for
