Follow Line Indicator For ThinkOrSwim

The ToS app does not allow for the use of MTF scripts in the scan hacker.
When setting up a scan, the first criteria is the timeframe.
It then filters your conditions on that timeframe.
If it encounters other timeframes in the script, it will throw an error:
Secondary timeframes not allowed.

added this lines for scanning purposes to the initial non-MTF version:

def trendo = if iTrend == 1 then 1 else if iTrend == -1 then -1 else trendo[1];
plot trend = trendo;

but was not able to make it work. maybe some sort of initialization is missing but I wouldn't know.
Could you please help?
 
Great indicator. How would we be able to scan with this?
To scan for the signal in multiple time frames
example for Long: scan for a 5 min long signal when the 15 min is already long
try this scan : http://tos.mx/cPvR8yQ
or
modify the script above, change the timeframe input to:
def period = getaggregationPeriod();

set a scan with 2 study conditions 1 for 15 min time frame and 1 for 5 min and
copy the script into each condition
in the 15 min condition scan for:
plot buymode = iTrend > 0; #( comment out all other plot statements)

in the 5 min condition scan for:
plot only the Buy condition ( comment out all other plot statements)
