Hi, here is the script that I have already plugged into the 5, 15,30,1hr timeframes on my watchlist like in the picture in my last post. I just compared this to what you just posted and it's identical no?




What I am not comprehending is if you look at my last post:

1) When I am looking at the MTF watchlist and I have a GREEN thumbs UP in the 5M watchlist should that or should that not coincide with the lower study, and that lower study should have a GREEN DOT to coincide with the GREEN thumbs UP??


Look at pic below #1, #2 and #3 all have Green Thumbs up and if you follow the arrows to the corresponding lower study time slots of 5M, 15M, 30M timeslots for lower study they all have RED DOTS. The only one that correctly correlates is #4 which is a GREEN thumbs UP with a GREEN DOT.

What am I not getting?? Thanks again for trying to help me I appreciate it!

I’m not using the lower study..there can be some kind of latency when it’s a choppy market? Maybe @BonBon can help with this.. try and don’t use it as a stand-alone, use other indicators with it..

@RickK regarding the zigzag I will post my updates after cleaning up the script.

Thanks @BonBon but I might have misstated a bit. Now I'm thinking that it's not the zigzag code that I think is very late in showing the signals. I'm talking about the HAlow and HAhigh trend change chart bubbles. I guess I'm confused because the current code has 3 places (2 commented out by default) where those AddChartBubble commands appear.

Pertaining to your comment and to simplify, I'm looking for the tweak that makes the chart bubble appear quickly enough after trend change to take advantage of it.

I hope that clarifies. Thanks!

(ps... I made this post before checking to the end of the thread to see if you had posted the adjusted code. So, if so, thanks again.)

@RickK..which script are you using for the signals?

Hi Rick can you share the above chart setup with a thinkorswim share link?
Click to expand...

Hi @Lukhy11 , the code for the Smoothed Heiken Ashi [line only] that is used in the above chart is below, but you should be aware that I do not believe that it is the current Smoothed Heikin Ashi code that @BonBon and everyone else is using. I'm including that code because I have since actually deleted the chart. Note 2 things in the code. First is the "o" variable. That is the line, which corresponds to the changing of the color of the HA candles. Based on the period length chosen, it will simply change the color if the previous value is more or less than the current value. The second thing to note is: to stop the display of the HA candles I commented out the two lines in the lower part of the code that begin "AddChart(growColor ..." Those are the commands to display the HA candles. By placing a "#" before each line, TOS will not recognize the command.

To get your chart to display like the one I posted above, simply insert the code onto your chart 4 times and then change the periods to 50, 34, 21 and 13.

@RickK..which script are you using for the signals?
Click to expand...

@BonBon , the script I'm using currently is posted below. I believe that it is a Feb 17 iteration (because I've named it as such.) Anyway, my issue is with the lime and magenta trend reversal bubbles actually displaying many many many candles after the fact. I get the impression from some of your earlier posts that you've tweaked it to display much sooner .... to the extent that you can rely on it being a top or a bottom (unless I misunderstood). Actually, the same goes for @rlohmeyer 's recent posts about the signal arrows code that he uses. I downloaded that as well, and set it to the settings he noted, and yet the signal arrows back paint maybe 10 candles after the fact. Yet, I also get the impression from him that he (on a 1min chart) can use these arrows to take a scalp. I'm obviously missing something. Thank you both if you'll enlighten me.

def swinglow2 = if halow < lfor2 and halow < lback2 then 1 else 0;
#Finally, this line is actually defining what a "swing low" is. It says, if the low of this bar is lower than the two bars after this one AND the low of this bar is also lower than or equal to the lowest of the previous eight bars, then this bar is a swing low. So, what that means is that in order to determine whether a point on the chart is either a swing high or a swing low, it must have eight bars before the bar in question, as well as, two bars after it. Looking at the picture above, it can be seen that point "A" is a "swing high" because it is higher than the 8 bars before it AND it is higher than the 2 bars after it. Likewise, point "C" is a "swing low" because it is lower than the 8 bars before it AND it is lower than the 2 bars after it.

@BonBon , the script I'm using currently is posted below. I believe that it is a Feb 17 iteration (because I've named it as such.) Anyway, my issue is with the lime and magenta trend reversal bubbles actually displaying many many many candles after the fact. I get the impression from some of your earlier posts that you've tweaked it to display much sooner .... to the extent that you can rely on it being a top or a bottom (unless I misunderstood). Actually, the same goes for @rlohmeyer 's recent posts about the signal arrows code that he uses. I downloaded that as well, and set it to the settings he noted, and yet the signal arrows back paint maybe 10 candles after the fact. Yet, I also get the impression from him that he (on a 1min chart) can use these arrows to take a scalp. I'm obviously missing something. Thank you both if you'll enlighten me.

def swinglow2 = if halow < lfor2 and halow < lback2 then 1 else 0;
#Finally, this line is actually defining what a "swing low" is. It says, if the low of this bar is lower than the two bars after this one AND the low of this bar is also lower than or equal to the lowest of the previous eight bars, then this bar is a swing low. So, what that means is that in order to determine whether a point on the chart is either a swing high or a swing low, it must have eight bars before the bar in question, as well as, two bars after it. Looking at the picture above, it can be seen that point "A" is a "swing high" because it is higher than the 8 bars before it AND it is higher than the 2 bars after it. Likewise, point "C" is a "swing low" because it is lower than the 8 bars before it AND it is lower than the 2 bars after it.

@RickK..let me load this on my system to determine the signals you are referrring to as I have made several changes based on my trading plan.
 
@RickK...you are using the swing_high_swng_lo and these do repaint. As I mentioned when I posted the code that members should experiment and determine which signals they wish to use. Also, reading the comments will assist in learning how they are used. The swing_lo_swing_hi code I have tweaked and they are all 45. ... see #265 post.

The zigzaghighlow is what I use as they provide a signal before the HA trend change....see #265 post and the pic below.
This is another way for me to not only verify the reversals/pullbacks but to prepare to exit, enter or based on my additional confirmations to determine if it is a 1, 2 or 3 wave.

I no longer place the HA signals on my chart. Instead I use the updated zigzaghighlow signals based on their ability to precede the trend reversal.
After having completed my due diligence in testing this signal it is ingrained within my trading plan.

Please see below...the zigzaghighlow is the yellow bubble and the arrow/point is the swing_high_swing_low. I hope the explanations and the pics help.

As you can see it does not repaint.

@everyone please continue to do your diligence and learn how to read the scripts (TOS education does a great job of explaining the scripts and how they work).
 
@RickK ...I forgot to mention the timeframe you are trading with also determines your entry points. You will have to increase or decrease the pivot points as well. Experiment with this until you are happy with your results.
 
i did see that the hi/lo repaints. that being the case, what do you use it for and how? Perhaps you should put a #note in the code saying that this one repaints and the zig does not.
great work, btw, and i've been following it closely. so much generosity from one person -- love it!

The reason why I created this thread was to receive feedback etc for my indicators. At this time there is no reason to keep it going. Any member who wishes to use the information should be able to do so if it is locked. Comments etc are not beneficial to the initial goal of the thread.

I get the same error message as in post #14. And it seems that each additional change that is posted I get errors too.
 
The basic study in the first post works fine.

We don't police the scripts posted to the forum. There are members who swing and miss.
You should probably not use scripts where members have already identified multiple errors in the code.

I am assuming @RickK version: https://usethinkscript.com/threads/completed-heikin_ashi-indicator.5251/page-15#post-57258 also works fine, given his amazing scripting skills. But no I didn't try it or any other of the flavors of scripts in this thread.
