Expert Trend Locator (XTL) For ThinkOrSwim

helps you to easily define in what kind of trend you are.
Its calculation is based on CCI and a fixed value of that indicator:

• if CCI value<-fixed value you're in a short trend (red bars);
• if -fixedvalue<=CCI<=+fixedvalue you are in a non trend/flat period (white bars);
• if CCI>fixed value you're in a long trend period (cyan bars);

input period = 35;
input paintBars = yes;

def fixedValue = 37;
def sma = SimpleMovingAvg(10);

def GreenPrice = CCI(period) > fixedValue;
def RedPrice = CCI(period) < -fixedValue;
def NeutralPrice = -fixedValue <= CCI(period) and CCI(period) <= fixedValue;

plot Bullish = GreenPrice;
plot Neutral = NeutralPrice;
plot Bearish = RedPrice;

Bullish.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);
Bullish.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
Bullish.SetLineWeight(3);
Bullish.hide();
Neutral.SetDefaultColor(Color.WHITE);
Neutral.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
Neutral.SetLineWeight(3);
Neutral.hide();
Bearish.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);
Bearish.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
Bearish.SetLineWeight(3);
Bearish.hide();

DefineGlobalColor("Bullish", Color.CYAN);
DefineGlobalColor("Neutral", Color.WHITE);
DefineGlobalColor("Bearish", Color.RED);
AssignPriceColor(if !paintBars then Color.CURRENT else if GreenPrice then globalColor("Bullish") else if RedPrice then globalColor("Bearish") else globalColor("Neutral"));

I'm looking for help.
I want to create a Watchlist Column that displays "Bullish", "Neutral" or "Bearish" based on the Expert Trend Locator (XTL).
Thank you very much for your help!

Good afternoon, everybody! I'm not very good for coding, and that's why I'm looking for help.

I want to create a Watchlist Column that displays "Bullish", "Neutral" or "Bearish" based on the Expert Trend Locator (XTL).
I have the code of XTL that paints bars on the chart, but I'm not capable of modifying it for the watchlist column.

This is the XTL code:

input period = 35;
input paintBars = yes;

def fixedValue = 37;
def sma = SimpleMovingAvg(10);

def GreenPrice = CCI(period) > fixedValue;
def RedPrice = CCI(period) < -fixedValue;
def NeutralPrice = -fixedValue <= CCI(period) and CCI(period) <= fixedValue;

plot Bullish = GreenPrice;
plot Neutral = NeutralPrice;
plot Bearish = RedPrice;

Bullish.SetDefaultColor(Color.CYAN);
Bullish.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
Bullish.SetLineWeight(3);
Bullish.hide();
Neutral.SetDefaultColor(Color.WHITE);
Neutral.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
Neutral.SetLineWeight(3);
Neutral.hide();
Bearish.SetDefaultColor(Color.RED);
Bearish.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_POINTS);
Bearish.SetLineWeight(3);
Bearish.hide();

DefineGlobalColor("Bullish", Color.CYAN);
DefineGlobalColor("Neutral", Color.WHITE);
DefineGlobalColor("Bearish", Color.RED);
AssignPriceColor(if !paintBars then Color.CURRENT else if GreenPrice then globalColor("Bullish") else if RedPrice then globalColor("Bearish") else globalColor("Neutral"));

Thank you very much for your help!

try this

input period = 35;
 input paintBars = yes; 
def fixedValue = 37; 
def sma = SimpleMovingAvg(10); 
def GreenPrice = CCI(period) > fixedValue; 
def RedPrice = CCI(period) < -fixedValue; def NeutralPrice = -fixedValue <= CCI(period) and CCI(period) <= fixedValue; 

def Bullish = GreenPrice;
def Neutral = NeutralPrice; 
def Bearish = RedPrice;

addlabel(1, (if bullish then "bullish" else if bearish then "bearish" else "neutral", color.black);

assignbackgroundcolor(if bullish then color.green else if bearish then color.red else color.gray);

hello to add three lines in the xtl trend it would be the first bullish or bearish bar the -50 is the first line would be the stop and 100% is the second line is the entry and the third 200% the target but the third is active if the trend breaks the second line .. so also for the downward the same .. all lines are deactivated at the end of the upward or downward trend
